Karate Secrets and the Offensive Thrusts

This is the most frequently used striking point. However, it can only be mastered after constant practice and training. When properly executed to­ward the right pressure points, the Clenched Fist can drop your opponent for the count of ten- and out! Do not be fooled into thinking that the Karate Clenched Fist blow is as easy as it looks. Be sure to study the illustrations. Notice that the forearm and the knuckles form a perpendicular line. Notice also that the front of the fist and the top knuckles form a 90° angle. In order to carry the maximum striking power from your body, thru your arm, and to the fist, that line must be straight.
