How to Sport Karate Adding the overhead ridge hand

[tapoutcampion111]

a ridge hand is never used in mma i am surprised

this looks like a really good technique for scoring points in light contact, and i may try using it in such competitiions, i doubt that in full contact that the would be a strike of choice.

iv never tried it but it seems that this techniques could cause injury to the elbow joint if done with full force.

@OPMDOPEINTHEM old post, I know, but if you train ridge hands on a heavy bag, you quickly realize you've got maintain a bend in the elbow or yeah, it'll seriously hurt your elbow. But once you train that little bend in your arm, you can use as much power as you want safely.
