Infighting MMA http://www.infighting.ca/index.php is a Mixed Martial Arts school located in Downtown Vancouver.
There is rampant confusion over whether to throw the hook with the fist in a thumb up position (if you were to take your fist as you execute the hook and open up your hand the thumb would point to the sky) or the palm down position (if you were to open up your fist at the moment of impact for the hook, your palm would face the floor).

@massivojohnson best advice ive ever heard, thanks

[massivojohnson]

I think you are making too much of this. It is impossible to tell what position he will be in and to have a seperate plan for that in a fight. I think that you should explain that its the two striking knuckles (index and middle finger) that should be the priority striking area. When you think of throwing these at the target then the hand position will naturally accomodate to suit. If you are unsure then hit a bag for a 'litle' bit with bare knuckles. Then you will see. and save yoru thumb.
