One Finger Thrust

Key steps

1. Extend the striking finger carefully and support it with the rest of the hand so the shape stays precise.
2. Deliver the thrust only with measured control and exact targeting, keeping the elbow and wrist aligned behind the finger.
3. Use the hips to support the line but avoid overcommitting body weight, because this is a precision technique rather than a heavy driving strike.
4. Retract the hand carefully and reform a safe guard position as soon as the technique is completed.

Coaching points

• Stay relaxed until the moment of impact.
• Let the hips and stance support the strike.
• Recover quickly so the next action can flow.
