The Pit Online Dojo... There are so many techniques That I have brought Over from my original style, KaJuKenBo... But if I have tested it, or I truly believe it is ineffective in a real-life combat situation, I will immediately Drop it from my curriculum... I want everything in my Hawaiian Kempo curriculum to be 100% usable and effective.

I destroyed an attacker at Disneyland, he head butted me, but I had my hat on, then the attacker took me to the ground, I blocked his blow with a hammer fist block, then flipped him bk over, we both jumped up, then I pushed him off a little two foot walking ledge at Disneyland, and downward hammer fisted the guys head 6 times, then punched his face 3 times, and almost landed an uppercut, before Disney security stopped us. All I got was a scarped left knee, and scratch on chest. These really do work in real life situations, especially if you connect with soft tissue areas on the face (ie ears, nose, jaw, cheeks), with cheekbones it’s better to break them via elbow blows.

They sure do have their time and place. I'm pretty sure if you took out hammer fists and groin strikes from classic KaJuKenBo/Kempo you would be down about 80% of overall strikes! Those Cats would just hammer EVERYTHING ! Being an UKE was tough business, I learned pretty quick why the Old Timer wore Judo GI's, gave you at least half an arm to eat with when you got home. One version I still love and think is absolutely hard to beat is a spinning hammer fist. Lord have mercy if you can set that thing up and land it. As always much respect from Seattle, this is still my favorite Martial Arts channel. If you are new to the Arts get onboard and follow and learn.

There is 1 more useful variation of the hammerfist. It’s basically the standing downward Hammerfist. Say your an orthodox stance fighter with your right hand behind. Hit downwards and aim for the opponents left chin. Means you have to turn your elbow outwards (12 o clock to 9 o clock direction) It can also be used to strike the nose from above

Thanks for raising another important discussion point.In combatives a straight hammerfist is repeatedly "cycled" in a circular motion resulting in a fluid powerful combination.Again, avoiding hand injury allows for transitioning to weapons.Quality tactical flashlights with crenellated bezels can blind the bad guy and tear him up good with hammerfists. Love your vids!Thank you for sharing your experience and insight.

Charlitos1988 Depends where you hit, that’s the issue with most strikes Punch to the throat and solar plexus, hammer fist to the neck, hook to the jaw That kind of stuff, never do a straight punch on hard bone in a self defense scenario

Thanks for explaining what is actually the point of a hammerfist because I thought they were useless but they look devastating with the downwards hammer fist and somewhat as devastating with the side hammer fist.

@eazyicecube 2 жыл бұрын

From the side can definitely be devastating. I've trained a lot of punches etc on the boxing pads, but it doesn't come close to the impact of the hard hammer fist

so first you talk about hitting concrete is safer with the hammer fist instead of knuckles BUT then almost at the end you say you prefer a jab and hook instead of circular hammer fist ? so what happen to the fragile knuckles doing a hook ? contradictory

When practiced correctly not like what you were showing,the inside hammer fist (pack sow ) is and even more effective than the others it’s just that you don’t know how to train it so don’t knock what you don’t understand

I disagree especially if they are in your face. You step forward for momentum and hammer fist them as hard as you can in the center of their face. "Repeat" don't kill them it's not that hard.

Why wouuld u want to hit someone in the back of the head for any other reason than killing them? Why are you teaching people to hit other people in the back of the head?

@ThePitOnlineDojo 5 жыл бұрын

Hitting the back of the head, or the front of the head are exactly the same when it comes to danger... And somebody is attacking you must assume they are trying to hurt you badly or kill you and you must stop the threat

@keaponlaffin6737 4 жыл бұрын

@@eduart732 these techniques are clearly for self defence, as a last resort. when talking is no more an option, when walking away is no more an option, when running is no option: when someone is coming at you or your loved ones with violence and is clearly not stopping until they get what they want from you or your loved ones. when that moment comes, you must use all force nessecary, and you cannot be thinking any longer about "oooh i'll try to stop this guy but i'll do my best not to kill him". it's what self defence is about, but you kinda missed the previous memo's i believe

@carsondwayne 3 жыл бұрын

@@eduart732 Not every strike to the back of the head is lethal... We see many people get punched and kicked in the back of the head in mma (mostly unintentionally). I don't recall ever hearing about a death caused by that. I have however heard of a man who was punched squarely on the chin, was unconscious and fell and hit his head on the ground which killed him. Self defense in a life or death situation has no room for considering the well-being of your attacker. The goal is to survive
