Correction

I received a very insightful email from someone who knows alot about such things and has asked he remain annonyous. But he pointed out something I failed to mention when I described what I called the Ball Peen Hammer punch. (I just made up that name - as I also did the Bull Whip Kick - for dramatic and more descriptive effect. No one ever called it that. It was just a description of the resulting effect when someone was hit with it.) He quite correctly noted that the index finger is not pressed down towards the palm but, rather across towards the middle knuckle. That's exactly what I do, and what I was taught. Thanks to him for the correction and a bunch of very interesting and educational information about the history and practices of Hawaiian kenpo, the many great martial artists who have come from the Islands over the years, and the many contributions they have made to our arts.
