Treebranch Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Taijutsu hand strikes are also very effective and the power generated comes from your entire body. Kamae is the key to it's effectiveness and power. Taijutsu strikes are designed to effect the structure of the body, it is not only used to knock someone out. Boxing strikes are very effective also, if you are using your body effectively. If you rely only on the power of your arms to strike effectively, your not doing it right. Learn to generate strikes that come from the momentum of your body and you can generate devasting blows that seem to come from nowhere.

MantisWarrior Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 well i think most styles would have efective hand strikes and a lot of the same strikes are in different styles. i dont really think there a "best" or "better". Fighting out of hate brings only disgrace.
GhOsCeLL Posted April 14, 2003 Posted April 14, 2003 Well, every style has good hand strike but I would just keep it simple with Boxing. "Osu!"
Treebranch Posted April 14, 2003 Posted April 14, 2003 The principles behind Taijutsu strikes are not only punch the opponent, but by following through with your body causing the structure of the opponent to move in the direction you want him to, taking his balance and taking him out, fast.

blitzcraig Posted April 14, 2003 Posted April 14, 2003 I was kinda leaning towards Kenpo such as KSN doug said. #1"The road to tae kwan leep is an endless road leading into the herizon, you must fully understand its ways". #2"but i wanna wax the walls with people now" #1"come ed gruberman, your first lesson is here.....boot to the head" #2"ouch, you kicked me in the head", #1"you learn quickly ed gruberman"
delta1 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Kenpo, American Kenpo in particular, has as complete a repetoir of strikes as any art I've seen. Far more than most. There are probably others which can also make this claim, but boxing? Freedom isn't free!
SevenStar Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 any style can have effective hand strikes - it's all in how you train them. That being said, The punch I would be most leary of is that of a boxer.
SevenStar Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 The phoenix eye will vary depending on the style you are in. I learned it with the forefinger, not the middle. IMO, the forefinger is more stable.
