The Ridgehand

In some ways, making a Ridgehand is similar to making a Knifehand. The fingers are held together. The knuckles are held in line.

There are some main differences in making the Ridgehand too. Hand is canted toward the little finger side. The thumb is pulled across the palm to the little finger.

I perform a horizontal swinging forehand Ridgehand that makes contact with the opposite side of the palm.

Like I said yesterday, it is much more time consuming to write and complex to read than it is to do…Watch the video.

I usually preface this move with a jab, grab or ‘slap’ block that distracts my opponent for just a second. I also perform this as a big swing (which is different than how I first learned it.
