It's simpler than you think.

I really can't recommend broken bottles. I have trained my hands for this weapon, and I don't think it matters what system or style you practice. You need to strengthen the hand and focus it to strike in as stable a manner as possible. I use the ring and middle finger as the striking points, the little finger and the pointer tend to brace them and help hold them together under impact. These fingers are in direct line with the wrist and forearm bones and are closer to the same length, making them a better choice. Now, When striking you have to give your hand an option in case it strikes a solid surface. You strike with an angle so that the hand can collapse up or down or toward the knuckles should this occur.
That said, I used sand in a large box or pail. You drive each hand down as deeply as you can into the sand. Your hand will at first not penetrate well. The fingers will seperate and go in different directions. The wrist will collapse. Continue doing this a while, every day, over and over, and eventually the fingers will hold together and the hand will strike in a more stable and direct manner. The hand will not collapse and will penetrate up to and beyond the wrist into the sand. I do not feel using gravel is going to help stablize the hand any better, but it might help deaden the nerves and kill sensation to prevent pain. I don't recommend this if you intend to make a living using your hands. Most people use their hands no matter what sort of work they do. This simple method of training your spear hand (kill hand) will give you the ability to inflict grave injury with your hands. This weapon is more suited to striking nerve centers, and areas of the body not well protected. Groin, not testicles, but groin, the line from pelvic bridge to the hip bone, is a dangerous strike, the throat, eyes, liver and solar plexus, and several other striking locations. You can paralyze an arm, or kill a person. But in order to do this you have to have the weapon trained to do it. The reason people tend to make fun of the eye poke or finger jab is because they do not have the ability nor have they seen this ability before and it to them does not exist.

LCP: obviously your teacher taught you wrong.

not really a big fan of spear hand. I was taught it but in a fight i feel i'm more comfortable with just a fist. to me it leaves to much room for error and a hurt hand. but everyone there own.
seen a lot of people on here talk about phoenix eye and the apps they do with it. I'm guessing with proper training it could be applicable same as spear hand, but again i'm just more comfortable with fist and kicks.
