Mikey Wright Movements | Self defence strikes | Hammer fist 1

In this short series of videos then we look at strikes that we learn specifically for self defence.

The hammer fist is a great strike to learn for our self defence training as it has many unique benefits particularly for those who aren't familiar with martial arts training.

The hammer fist incorporates fluid natural body mechanics which make it a very powerful strike that can be learned quickly. Its also a gross motor movement which means it is more likely to be used when under pressure or when fear and adrenaline has kicked in! Because the surface area of the striking limb is so large it means you have more chance of making a good connection with a target whilst importantly avoiding damaging the hands.
