Extend the hand in a complete line with the forearm, just as one would in forming the edge of hand blow.
Bend the wrist upward at NO more than a 45 degree angle.
Simply tense and "hook" the fingers slightly. This resembles a Tigers Claw.
This blow is used JUST like a fast and hard LEFT JAB. Piston like, NO fish tailing!
Target
the eyes with the "clawed" fingers. As the fingers make solid
contact(and it DOES NOT matter if you strike the eyes or NOT!) the
wrist will NATURALLY flex and the PALM will crush the nose and the HEEL
of the hand smash the chin. At least that's the ideal.
Now
an assailant MUST come into your range to do YOU any damage. Whenever
he DOES...........TIGER CLAW! Once, twice three times........whatever.
Get the job done.
Take
a lesson from boxing here: How often is a good left lead blocked or
avoided? Not often at ALL. Any boxing coach worth his salt knows the
left is your bread and butter so to speak. As it is with the Tigers
Claw.
And...............old boxing cliche' - "lead with speed - follow with power".
Re-read my post under Essentials for more info on the Tigers Claw.
Hope this helps!
