I like it quite a bit, and do some conditioning to allow me to use it. I started off just hitting a maize bag with it, and tapping it on solid surfaces throughout the day. I've also added hitting my wallet, which works well as a conditioning tool for small-surface strikes, and sometimes I do planks or push-ups on Phoenix eye fists, as well.

First off there are many ways to condition the Phoenix Eye Fist. The Internet is full of conditioning exercises for the Phoenix Eye Fist. Examples would be push ups on the floor or against the wall- hitting the phone book - trying to make holes in cardboard boxes or quickly hitting cardboard boxes until you can make the hole in them - and so on.................. The key is not to damage the finger/hand while training the Phoenix Eye Fist. The proper way is to start off slowly and have a good Jow ( Dit Da Jow ) - Chinese Medicine to rub on the whole hand before and after training and wait at least a couple of hours before washing you hands after putting on the medicine. Also when hitting with the Phoenix Eye Fist you should articulate and hand - hitting at different angles - straight In is not always a good thing to do when hitting with the PEF. And one must develop the ENERGY/POWER in their particular system for the Phoenix Eye Fist to really be effective. This is just the basics - it gets a lot more involved. You can try developing the PEF by yourself - BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND A QUALIFIED TEACHER WHO SPECIALIZES IN THE PHOENIX EYE FIST. Again just my 3 cents.

I learned this in hung gar Kung fu. I have actually learned 2 ways to perform it. Check out the image. The top is the way I originally learned and the bottom I learned later on.

Would I use it? Most likely not, I would be much more lolikly to use Palm, hammer, or fist strikes but it's an interesting technique for sure.
