Edge of Hand – Fingers Bent or Not Bent?

[Damian (Instructor)]

Hi Damian,
I’d like a bit more in depth information on how to best hold your hand for the edge of hand blows. I seem to get the best, most accurate shots in if my fingers are relaxed and a bit “bent”, and the mid-finger knuckles don’t clang together like they do when I try to keep the hand stiff. What say you?
Thanks,
Scott

I have to agree with you and it does vary from person to person, but having a slight bend in the fingers and a little “relaxed” does hurt less. It gives them a little movement and “a place to go” so to speak.
