Why Did Homer leave the left thumb out?

[Spike]

If I may.....

....be so bold?

I would ask him why the left thumb was not designated as a pressure point for hitting or swinging.

Not so bold....

Homer would say becuase the lifeline of the palm—the #1 Pressure point—is right on top of it.

Having said that, I use the left thumb when I need it.

I would think he would probably say because the right heal pad supplies the force by pushing through the thumb
but I could be wrong

When would you need the use of the left thumb?

When would you need the use of the left thumb?

maybe when PP#1 isn't right on top of it?

 

[Brian Manzella]

'cuz.

When would you need the use of the left thumb?

When THAT'S what works for THAT particular student.

 

[kebeal]

I always thought it was because of 10-E-1 (cross hand grip) or left hand low.

Brian, your are the 2nd TGMer that has ever admitted that the left thumb can be used as a viable component.

Again, showing me the openness of your teaching skills. I'd say I would want to grow up to be just like you but it's too late, I'm prolly 15yrs older than you, hehehe.

I thank you again for being here. I'm learning a lot from you all.
