Vertical Fist

[todome]

Never what? The engine of the technique is important, but sometimes you need to think about the tires, too.

Whether the tires are spinning horizontally or vertically totally changes what the drive train needs to do. I'm more familiar with a horizontal fist so maybe its just what I'm used to that makes me notice a marked lack of downward pressure at the core required to finish a vertical punch.

At GKR, when learning the basics, they teach you to punch horizontally. Although when training for touraments, they encourage the use of the vertical fist

Methodologies OR preferences. It's a fine line that one has to daily balance upon. Vertical or horizontal; just as long as their effective at its application is the only thing that I believe should matter at the end.
