The Forefist Thrust

http://youtu.be/K937_rKxws8
 I make a Forefist just as I show in the video. The formation of the fist and making contact with the correct knuckles is very important.

Just as important is conditioning the fist so that it can withstand the impact of a strike. However, conditioning is complex, long term and challenging activity that must be maintained regularly in an educated and intelligent manner. It can hardly be covered within one video so I will just say that the fist should be conditioned (even if it is padded) and leave it for another time.

I am striking with a vertical Forefist (or standing fist) from the high guard with the rear arm. Basically, it is a straight punch that incorporates the hips, core, legs and arms.

Constant practice will improve it so that it will become a reflex. Constant monitoring can improve it as well (occasionally observing oneself practicing in a mirror for instance).

Without prejudice
