You know like how you knock on a door, with the joints right above the knuckles you punch with. Alright. Knock like that on the top of your head. It FREAKING HURTS!!!! Do any styles or would any people use an attack like that? I would. If you get the right opportunity, just be like SMACK and crack your joints (I dunno what that part is called) down on the top of his skull. It might not knock them out, but it would likely cause unbearable pain (it might break your knuckles, too).

FMA attack with those second set of knuckles.

Maybe not like knocking on a door, more like weilding a pair of hedge scissors.

The Elephant fist is formed to attack with that set of knuckles. I don't like using it myself because it hurts my knux to strike with them like that.

I believe that is the preferred attack of the Crested Buttmaster (http://freaks.davezilla.com/index.php?p=17).

Ironfist: Try using such a strike on the forearm, triceps, biceps of an attacking arm. FMA method.

We use that fist shape often, but so far I have seen it used as a raking fist or as chen zen is describing.

I tried it on myself just now :D Still hurts much much more on the top of my head.

IF: 'Knocking" on the bicep/tricep/forarm/elbow (area) is closer usually and can disable an entire arm for a short time.

Of course hitting the head is better. Then you can break their neck.

IF: it can be used against a jab. zone to the outside & knuckle-strike his triceps, elbow joint. trust me, it hurts.
Other targets: floating ribs, throat, eyes, temples, stomach pit, solar plexus, groin, thigh muscles, pecs, lower back (kidney area), etc. vulnerable targets.

I have been taught a strike using the 2nd knuckles of the forefinger and middle finger. It was described as a goat knuckle and the strike was executed like a rake (imagine knocking on a door with your knuckles) at the centre of your opponent's chest. Very painful for your opponent, and you hardly feel it.

We are using a similar fist in Taijiquan.

Here we extend knuckle of the middle finger a bit.

Strikes include top of throat, ears and temple, front of shoulder joint but I think that there are way more uses for it.

Very nice for attacking smaller vulnerable targets.

yep, it is one of the three basic stikes i learned. we called it "ginger fist". or sometimes cup-choy(spelling?).

usually we used it to hook across the face, especially to draw blood from the eyebrow.
