Nukite
is the strike with the tips of extended fingers. At times it traditionally
calls “spear hand” strikes. Those strikes are targeted vulnerable soft body
points – primarily neck and throat as well as abdomen area.
Very few today
practice the older hand conditioning for Nukite.
Of course it
still can be very effective to soft tissue areas, such as into the throat, the armpit and the groin. But far
less effective to areas of the body with heavier muscleture.
However, there
is a method of nukite use which can still be successful.
The method I am
going to describe, I learned long ago, however I do not believe I have ever
described it.
When
you move to strike into your opponent (target of opportunity, say the heart of
the abdomen) You strike forward with you nukite.
When
it hits the hard musculature without extensive training you will likely not get
much of a reaction from your opponent.
Instead
you use the striking of your fingertips to make the opponents body tense
automatically. This creates a more rigid surface.
Then
you immediately collapse your fingers (either into a turning fist or a vertical
fist) and drill that fist into their body.
Thus a
1 strike technique becomes a 2 strike technique. The 2nd strike the
primary one to do damage.
They are more
unprepared for the 2nd strike and thus it can penetrate further into
their body.
Of course this
does not limit other possibilities, all of which are still open for you.
We drilled on
this many times over the years, but another movement we never filmed.
