A distinct category of Finger Techniques which is physically distinguishable by being delivered with a Claw Method of Execution.

Comments:

This is the Clawing version of this specific category of Finger Techniques.

This category of Finger Techniques is specifically grouped by Method of Execution, rather than by grouping by physical similarities. The classification is done in this manner because specific Methods of Execution for Finger Techniques forces specific hand formations - which then facilitates a more logical grouping.

Claws are closely associated with the Heel-Palm strikes which are used in tandem to create a sophisticated basic. Another way to think about this is: one should not say claw without saying heel-palm, and visa-verse.

This category of maneuvers was specifically included in the standard basics curriculum and are a distinct subset of the more general claw reference listed under the Applied section.
