RW Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 How effective do you think this technique is? Would you ever use it instead of a punch? More than the palm strike aspect to it I mean the finger "rake" part, sort of like this (not very good) example:
Nidan Melbourne Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 I didn't listen to the sound (no headphones) but personally I really wouldn't use that technique, but when you look at the video it was going straight forward to the sternum. Which in a way wouldn't be very effective and places yourself at an increase risk of injury. Although if one was to say use it towards a persons groin or in a Kake Uke fashion (ie. raking the throat or eyes) then i would use this technique.
sensei8 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 I'd not use this technique because it's more of a fantasy rather than anything else, imho. Imho this technique success ratio against an active opponent is akin to swatting a fly with a chopstick.Sure, I can see possibilities with it, but not more than a punch, which imho has a much higher success ratio.Imho! **Proof is on the floor!!!
MasterPain Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Well, try squeezing a fleshy part of your own body as hard as you can. When you get done saying "Ouch, that's really annoying."- consider how much harder you would have to do it to actually remove a chunk of flesh. If you had that kind of strength, the blunt force of the palm strike would be all you needed anyway.Note, I will not be held liable for any flesh you rip from yourself. My fists bleed death. -Akuma
lowereastside Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 From a Chinese Kung Fu perspective - there is much more than just hitting a block of wood ( Dummy ) or sand bag.......and I will leave it at that.

RW Posted May 24, 2016 Author Posted May 24, 2016 I fully agree with what you guys say. I'd not use it to strike, IMO. I am still a bit intrigued about the "raking the face" technique though. Part of me tells me it could do some damage, part if me tells me that's how 5 year old girls fight LOL. Thoughts?

Thoughts?My 5 year old daughter doesn't fight like that. then again, neither my 5 year old nor 3 year old daughter fight. My 3 year old will throw a hammer fist or an instep kick every now and again, but there's not much intent behind it.

cheesefrysamurai Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 I'd only use it in a close struggle.across the face- not as a strike from punching distance. Nothing Worth Having Is Easily Obtained - ESPECIALLY RANK
