CLF: charp choi

You press the thumb against the index finger.

Pulling the thumb back toward the wrist is just retarded.

Do you see guys doing a phoenix-eye fist without a thumb brace? No, you don't.

Doing it without a thumb brace is a good way to **** up your knuckle AND your wrist.

CLF schools that teach a panther fist without a thumb brace should be ashamed they are teaching students a good way to ruin their fist/fingers/wrist/hand.

Thanks for this. Bracing seems the only way to go with push-ups and hitting bags too.

I've heard one line of CLF teaches the thumb pulled back to public students, and braced style to closed-door students. Is that a common practice?

Also, are there any other examples of fist formations traditionally taught differently to public and closed-door students? It's the 21st century now, so I'm assuming we're in the clear to talk about these things.
