BKJ1216 Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Hmm well I know karate has a lot of them, I mean a lot of them, so I'm sure most of them are effective. White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superleeds Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Kung fu and karate utlises many of the same hand techniques. I dont think that there is a definite answer to that one. I think a question like what is the most effective hand strike technique in a given context? For pressure points, the phoenix strike is probably the best option. and so on. Read a book!

superleeds Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I'm not quite sure how to explain this without being to clumsy. Its like a closed fist, only that your middle finger is a cm more forward then the others. I realise that this is not a good description. I dont think I have the vocabulary to explain it properly. Take care Read a book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryLove Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I'm not about to answer a groaner question that begins: "what style(s) has the most effective", but I am suprised at the many obvious arts being left out. Boxing comes screaming to mind as something that would be offered by an English board, and Hsing-I (Xingyi). Would have expected to see those two early and often. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcnavstar Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Wing Chun is most effective from a close range scenerio. While Karate all depends on your style and Lineage. I study Shorin Ryu Karate onder Ryu Kyu Kobudo Hozon Shinko Kai. The way they generate energy is very unique and allows for both close range and long range hand strikes. Which style has the most effective hand strikes, does not depend on the style, but rather the peron using the style is the deciding factor in any fight. With the exception of finger strikes, both styles utilize similar hand strikes. Wing Chun uses a vertical punch which gives you better "Bone Joint Power" because the two boes in the forearm are straight and not crossed as they would be in a typical karate horizontal punch.
