Tuite Myths 02 - Thumb is Weakest Part of Grip?

[@bradymboyd]

I give this a strong thumbs up.👍

If you are being attacked, do you really have time to think about what part of the hand you are going to use your technique on? All of these techniques look great but in the heat of the moment, in the middle of chaos, you have to have simple methods of defending yourself. This appears to lack that simplicity to me.

What techniques? Not a single technique is shown in this video. This is a discussion of what part of the hand is stronger than the other. In a fight you are going to do the techniques that you have perfected during training. So if you are training thumb attacks rather than pinky attacks, you are working harder during your training and less likely to succeed in an encounter because you will do the attacks and motions that you most trained on. In the middle of chaos, you cannot get much simpler than a binary system (thumb/pinky). Choose the better techniques in training and you will perform those techniques.
