I've noticed from watching fedor's fights that he hits alot like the way they do in Systema, which is a russian fighting style. Also it is taught to hit with these type of looping punches with a snap at the end in the Russian military, so could have picked it up there.
Now Bruce lee also hits with a snap but it is more of a straight punch. I think Lee hits the same way just alot faster, both are intended to damage internal organs.
what are your guys thoughts on this.
And also if anyone knows which knuckles bruce lee lands with tell me I could'nt find the answer.

Fedor = professional fighter

Bruce Lee = actor

Alot of that hit with "these two knuckles" or "these three knuckles" stuff works great punching flat and stationary targets (makiwara) but the human head is roundish, irregular and usually moving. If you land a hard shot square on the pinkie finger knuckle you are likely going to break a ****carpal, don't do that. Otherwise I am not convinced it makes much difference. Focus on keeping the wrist straight and strong and don't worry about your knuckles.

i noticed that about fedors punches they seemed odd to me. and its best to hit with ur index and middle finger if u can. but in the cage just fucking giv'er.

in the street i wouldnt punch full power with my hand. ball of the wrist is the best for that.(what royce gracie used to do back in UFC 1/2/3 days

I can say with 100 percent certainty that Bruce Lee is the best fighter to ever live period(after the flood that is)

And why exactly can you say that? Bruce Lee had exactly zero professional fights.

Yeah but look at how he killed kareem abdul jabar in Game Of Death. Name me another martial artist who fought a basketball player 10 weight classes above him. WHAT NOW

In all seriousness I think Bruce Lee could of taken out most people back in his day in a real fight, because in areal fight it's not smart to go to the ground and wrestle like in mma cause of biteing, and his athletesizm. As for the knuckles I was curious to know becouse when I just got into martial arts I read somewhere that Bruce punched with the bottom three, so that is what I trained mostly, and I have never recieved an injury that way probably because they are conditioned for it. Now I mix it up.
As for systema my friend and I tested out which hits hurt the most on the body. We found that hits to the right side hurt about 2x more than on left, and a hammerfist thrown from the bottom up to the solar plexus with a wave motion hurt the most because the pain lasted a long time. The hammerfist was thrown like a backfist except with the bottom of the hand landing while traveling upwards starting from the legs.
Give it a try Aye

Back in "his day" there were real fighters fighting "real fights", Kyokushin and other promotions. Bruce Lee chose not to compete in either full contact, point style fighting or boxing at a major competitive level. He was a great actor, promoter, writer and teacher but he was not a fighter.

The primary attribute of a fighter is the willingness to fight, and, outside of a handful of highly suspect anecdotal street fights, Bruce Lee never fought a serious competitor.
