The Knifehand

http://youtu.be/ZFusJC1ZY-4

Making a Knifehand is similar to making a Forefist. The fingers are held together. The knuckles are held in line. The thumb is cocked (although this is a little higher than in the Forefist).

The main differences in making the Knifehand are the fingers are held straight out and bent only at the last joint and I am striking with the edge of the palm instead of the knuckles.

In this case, I am thrusting with the Knifehand. I wind up my Knifehand to the opposite side ear. From there I turn my striking hip and arm toward my attacker and thrust the Knifehand palm edge into them.

Actually much more time consuming to write and complex to read than it is to do…Watch the video.
