These videos show you how to utilize a spear hand strike. In
this technique, you use the tips of your fingers (on an open
hand with fingers together) in order to strike soft areas such
as an opponent's neck. To make this strike more effective, try
to pull your index back modestly so it is parallel with your
forefinger (you want the fingers at the same level because it
generates a greater striking surface & lessens the chance of
injuring your index finger). For other strikes & punches,
please visit our
