What is a Hikuta fist?

It’s a revolutionary way to stop an attacker with one punch (and
it’s much safer than the injury-prone tight-fisted punch).

The Hikuta fist is formed by having your fist relaxed and partially
closed without allowing your fingertips to touch your palm.

Your thumb should be in a relaxed position, resting on top of your
pointer finger. The key is to keep your hand relaxed.

To feel the mechanics of the Hikuta fist, do a push-up with your
hands formed into a Hikuta fist.

Most of the force should be concentrated on your middle and ring
finger knuckles and it’s important for your wrists to remain
straight.

While in the push-up position, be sure that your fingers are not
touching your palms.

Doing this type of push-up will help to show you the basic
elements of the Hikuta fist which can stop an attacker with one
punch and help you avoid injury.

Some of the other advantages to the Hikuta fist are:

The Hikuta fist can be formed quicker that a tight fist, thus
allowing you to respond sooner with a defensive punch.

Having greater quickness is a tremendous advantage especially since
a majority of attackers try to surprise you, leaving very little
time to respond. Being able to respond quicker can mean the
difference between defending yourself and being knocked out.

Another advantage of the Hikuta fist is that it gives you about
three inches more reach than the popular open palm strike. Having
the extra reach allows you to be further away from the attacker
when you punch him.

One other advantage of the Hikuta fist is that since it uses a
smaller contact surface (two knuckles), to deliver a punch, it will
remain in contact with the attacker for a shorter amount of time
allowing you to get away quicker.

When you punch with a Hikuta fist, your hand should quickly whip
out towards the attacker, trying to penetrate the attacker’s body
about 2 or 3 inches and without hesitation, your hand should
quickly whip back. This will deliver much more force into the
attacker, enabling you to stop the attacker with just one punch.

U.S. Govt. Shuts down Hikuta?

You may have noticed that for the past three days that Hikuta.com disappeared.

Someone asked if the U.S. government shut us down; well at this point we’re still looking into it; however the good news is that Hikuta.com, the authority on Hikuta, is back up.

We will continue to provide you with updated information on self-defense and violence prevention.

They tried to shut us down but we’re still here. Go see us at http://www.hikuta.com/

Stay safe,
