Can't beat a good combination of Muay Thai and BJJ. Just about every single cage/UFC fighter uses the 2 of them over anything else. Can't say I know much about Wing Chun.. But I can't see a little chop to the arm will beat a knee to the skull or a ground and pound battering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garryn Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Depends on the skill and intention of the practitioner. Would a fist to the eyes have more or less effect than a strike with the fingertips? You do get a couple more inches range that way also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2learn Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 a fist wouldnt fit in your eye socket so wouldnt cause much damage to the actual eye ball but significant damage to the surrounding area. a finger strike would cause great damage to the eyeball but have to be greatly accurate to avoid damaging your fingers. you thought i was serious bjj4life baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garryn Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Originally posted by want2learn a finger strike would cause great damage to the eyeball but have to be greatly accurate to avoid damaging your fingers. Position, then push. Also depends on how much you've conditioned yourself for striking like this. As I've posted before, Takamatsu conditioned his fingers so much his fingernails were 4mm thick. Not knocking BJJ, would like to give it a try at some point. Just pointing out that there was more to other styles than "a little chop to the arm" from the Gazb post.

Crayfish Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I've heard this about his fingernails before... someone showed me an old photo once, seemed pretty impressive. Um... what sort of training gives you thick fingernails though? I train fairly regularly and have experienced no fingernail thickening to speak of.
