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.

Actually, when done properly this type of punch protects the fist and works very well.

I have trained for years in Wing Chun, have some experience with BJJ, and recently started training in aikido. I know how to punch and I have taken several punches myself.
ReplyDeleteMy new instructor has over 30 years in martial arts training and has incorporated the hikuta fist into his teaching. I was skeptical of this punch at first, but after practicing with it I have found out a few things from my experience. It is a fast punch, you will not break your fingers or jam your thumb, and it does work. I think Hikuta, by itself is not a sufficient martial art. i feel that the punching techniques, when incorporated into other martial arts can be very effective. People are too dismissive and eager to see this fail. I had to practice a bit to change my habits in punching, but I assure you, it does work well, and you will not hurt your hand. The body mechanics take care of it for you.
Oh, come on, Al. This isn't some conspiracy to hate on Hikuta built around some elaborate network of my associates. People hate Hikuta because Hikuta is stupid. I was instrumental in bringing the system to light because very few people had heard of it before I published my reviews of it. Don't make this more than it is.
ReplyDeleteI want to buy the hikuta Dvd's and learn it sincerely. But the hikuta site is no longer functioning...plz help!!!
