Why not a demo of your PE while sparring with a (genuine) muay thai fighter?
Actually, the point of that demos was how to STRUCTURE the PE fist, hence I mentioned how he can't even do a PE fist push-up so he has no business even trying to do it in a fight.
As for me doing it in a fight, I have done them in real fights and in bare knuckle matches, certainly not in MT, gloves and all that, but I used them in my kyokushin matches, though at the time it was not as well developed as I have it now, and they worked "just fine".
I used to do them in sparring but my partners didn't think it to kosher so, like elbows, I tend to use them "half power" just to make a point.
By the way, I don't know if you have ever been hit by a full force tempered PE fist, I have, in a full contact match and took out my right shoulder in one shot.
I friend of mine once described a true PE fist as a "blunt push-dagger".
