  • um sorry but i dont see the point of all the bitchslapping to the head. hit the ears at least.

  • @sAmZy1993 Yes, ears, throat, eyes. etc are the targets. We're not hitting hard for real for obvious reasons. Also, punching to the skull with a closed fist just breaks your hand which is why open hand strikes were taught to U.S. soldiers in World War II for fighting the Japanese in the jungles of the Pacific. Knuckle punches are for soft targets like the kidneys and liver. Open hand strikes snake into the eyes and throat better.

  • @mattkovsky

    I teach filipino martial arts and your right we learn do open hand striked primarily unless we are attacking soft parts. Also we leave our hands open so we can continue a strike without pulling it back in order to flow it in to strikes, parries etc.. There is no retraction for strikes just continuous motion (which is imposible with a closed fist to the same degree as open). But I train kyokushin as well and those guys will crack you full force close fist and not get hurt at all :|

  • @Ilanactingreel Thanks, good points. I did kali, silat and kyokushin before doing this and there are some useful similarities.

  • This looks like tai chi chuan.

  • @Butchzzilla Uses similar principles applied in a totally free-form, non-ccoperative manner. We have many tai chi students. See our website attackproof[DOT}com and do a search for "combat tai chi".

  • How on Earth are you going to pull of a double eye gouge when your opponent has double underhooks, and can simply change levels to avoid your fingers, scoop your legs, and dump you on your head? Unless, of course, the grappler you're using as a demonstrator has absolutely no idea how to clinch.

  • just remember the grappler can eye gauge too...

  • What kind of "grappler" was that? Looked like a guy with about a month of high school wrestling at best.

  • @mattkovsky m'kay, makes sense. but personally im an advocate of the vertical fist or 45 degree angled fist with bottom threee knuckle landing, it feels quite good for me.

  • Looks like Erle Montaigue dim mak vs. grapplers. 

  • @dougdoug2006

    If you start to take big hunks of his flesh out with your teeth, he will change the position of his head - you could eye gouge him then.
