Or if you’re still not sure you can pull that off, try this:
The palm is thicker and sturdier than the knuckles, and you’re less likely to crack or tear something against the Nazi’s skull. Personally I think it works even better when you’re at a height disadvantage; thrusting upwards comes more naturally to me than punching. Also lots of people expect punching over this so you may be more likely to catch them off guard.
May not seem as satisfying in concept, but go break a nose with it and see.
Just wanted to add a bit more tips for proper punch technique, make sure your thumb is tucked in over your first two fingers, otherwise it could catch on something and get snapped back, potentially broken.
Also just like in the first set of images, keeping your hand in line with your arm is important from the top down too. The point of contact should be your first two knuckles, if you try to strike with all four you’ll be twisting your wrist in a way that may cause strain or damage. Even though I too want to punch Na/zi’s with my whole fist, you’ll get more power for your punch with the first two being lined up properly
^^^^^^^just adding onto that last bit that b sure to NOT tuck your thumb inside your fist while punching ever. it’ll break
Elbows, people. ELBOWS.
The comrade who hit Richard Spencer used their elbow.
It’s like a club made of solid fucking bone powered by the muscles of your shoulder and upper arm. You have a wider hit range too – you can get people coming up behind you.
The back of your fist is also good to use. You can land a blow from arm’s length while still working with the torque of your shoulder and elbow, and the bones of the back of your hand are much stronger than your fingers. You still want to keep your arm and hand straight, or you could break your wrist, but you have a much wider hit range.
Also, if you’re lucky enough to get an opening for a body blow, USE IT.
