Question for Viewers: Can you guess what's in the package? First person to get it right gets a free t-shirt!

Kamil Pawlowski says:

I love the comment about having to do open hand strikes perfectly. Thats the long and the short of it. If you screw it up, there's a high probability of breaking fingers, bones in the hand.

Denis says:

People have different experiences, one might think something doesn't work when he is thought in one way, that might be less efficient, and another that actually used it in self defense situation might think otherwise. What I would like to know is how to defend against a stalker who works for the police and can frame you, slander you in a 100 ways. Law protects the criminals if you use force (not jedi force 🤣) you are screwed …

crocfixio says:

i use the karate chop to break the arm bar defense. works pretty well. wouldnt use it as a strike though !!

Monkey Fist says:

Myabe I do not look like… But I am a big fan of SUMO and they can slap or do pump punch in the match. I had see a few times KO with those moves. Soo I think if this technique could put to sleep THAT big guy – prapobly this technique is efective : D (but they have extra waight for making this technique very powerful, sooo this is why I said "prapobly" heh)

And yea, hammer fist is the simplest and the best technique ever… Because you can atack soft spot and hard ones with out getting your self hurt- with karate chop if you miss neck and hit the head, prapobly you will feal it in your hand : D

Alex Ong says:

They are 100% legit, but the secret lies in conditioning.
If you conditioned your palms to be as hard as steel , one palm strike to the face is as lethal as a punch
A palm strike to the head is even better than punching. While punching the head , there's a risk of Injuring your fists , but not with palm strikes ,if you conditioned them well

tmWasted says:

Headgear solves most of the problems about sparring with open hands. Just don't palm the face – you can still attack the jaw, neck, liver, s/plexus, etc.

Aria Nugroho says:

In 3:10 you said that kind of punch is not real…. True…. But…. In chinese martial arts there are so moany different punch for different targets and different positions…

That kind of punch is meant to hit your cheek, shake the brain inside the head…. Not to hit your chest….

Other kind of attack… Such as.. Spear punch is to hit eyes and throat…..

Palm attack is to hit forehead, chin, ears….. Makes you dizzy….

You will understand these…. if you learn many different style of kungfu…..

10K? Bullshit. I see 11K up there.

MvC 2 is my jam..Someone busted it out on the Dreamcast in college and I dominated. They called me The Wizard. Then I played it in arcades in Japan and dominated using 3 Guiles.
