Outward Whip Finger Technique

 

A distinct type of Whipping Finger Technique which is physically distinguishable by striking on an outward circular direction - making contact with the tip(s) of the fingers of the hand, palm pointing relatively inward.

 

Comments:

 

This maneuver is most typically effected on a relatively horizontal circle typically at eye height, but may be altered depending upon need.

 

Ideally, this maneuver is enacted with all four (4) fingers, but this is not a requirement.

 

This maneuver starts from the opposite side of the vertical (width) center-line of the striking hand and travels toward the same side of the vertical (width) center-line.

 

The word outward, in this case, means to follow a path of travel that is relatively perpendicular to the vertical (width) center-line, to the same side of the body.
