The
edge of the hand is sharp and penetrates the nerve centers. Therefore,
it is a very dangerous and effective weapon to use against an opponent.
Hold
the hand rigid with thumb extended, fingers straight and close
together, hit opponent with edge of hand from the first knuckle of the
little finger to the beginning of the wrist.
Always
hit with the arm bent at the elbow Never hit with a straight arm as you
lose power and speed. When delivering the blow snap it out quickly with
the entire weight of your body behind it Caution must be used in
practice since these blows will easily kill or knock a person
unconscious.
The
Japanese have developed the edge of hand blows so well that they can
easily break a half-inch board with one blow. They practice all day
long toughening their hands until they can snap a man's neck with a
single stroke.
Striking
a person with your fist may injure your knuckles and is not as
effective in delivering death-dealing blows as the edge of the hand.
The fist is blunt and will not penetrate between the muscles and tissue
of the body into the vital nerve centers. Since the edge of the hand
covers less area it easily penetrates the nerve centers and is very
deadly.
