Where the fingers (extended) go first, then only the knuckles. Is it supposed to be more effective? I believe it will break your fingers instead.

I won't say that there aren't martial arts that use this technique. Ving Tsun (better known to the West as "Wing Chun") uses all sorts of combinations to cause pain to the opponent, for example. But most will only use a finger jab as a distraction to set the opponent up for a more measured attack because, as stated above, there is as much risk to the aggressor to break their fingers as there is to the opponent to be harmed. No martial artist is going to take the risk of hurting themselves unless they feel it is necessary.yucheng said:@Rive No no I did not learn it from the anime It was some random thing school kids once talked about and tried on each other.
The physics behind a punch involves the transfer of energy from the person throwing the punch to the target. This energy is generated by the muscles in the arm and is transferred through the fist upon impact.
The force of a punch is directly related to its impact. The greater the force, the more damage it can cause. This is due to the fact that force is a product of mass and acceleration, so a heavier and faster punch will have a greater force and impact.
Newton's laws of motion are crucial in understanding the physics of a punch. The first law states that an object will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an external force, which explains why a punch has to be thrown to generate movement. The second law relates force to mass and acceleration, and the third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which explains why the person throwing the punch may also feel a force in their arm upon impact.
The proper use of body mechanics, such as utilizing the legs and hips to generate power, can significantly increase the force and impact of a punch. This is because the larger muscles in the body can generate more force than just the arm muscles alone.
Yes, the speed of a punch can greatly affect its power. This is because the kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass and the square of its velocity. So, a faster punch will have more kinetic energy and therefore, more power upon impact.
