This strike involves all of the fingers tips being put together in order to reinforce each other (as a single finger has a greater chance of bending backwards or breaking). It is used by martial artists to target small vital points such as the eye and groin. The hand can also be opened in order to grab when the hand is being withdrawn.

Martial arts punches & strikes and all other martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor.
