In a follow-up video to one he did on how to punch, he addressed feedback he received on how to punch with long nails.
As a result, he made an entire video on ways to punch with long nails.
Making A Fist Is Difficult
The main issue with having long nails and throwing a punch is that the long nails make it painful to curl your fingers into a fist.
Brian has two solutions to this issue.
Hit With The Palm
The first solution is to not make a fist at all.
Instead, Brian recommends keeping an open palm and hitting the person with the heel of your fist with a lot of force.
Outside Of The Hand
The second way that he recommends punching with long nails is to curl your nails halfway into a fist.
From there you can swing and hit your target with the outside edge of your hand.
Thankful For The Demonstration
The recommendations received over 14,000 comments, many thanking Brian for giving these tips.
They were also appreciative of the lengths that Brian went to do the demonstrations by putting on the acrylic nails.
