How to make the fist of Karate, Not from a pinky finger. Don't trust a urban legend of Karate

In the Japan mainland Karate like Shotokan, all of Senseis / Masters / Instructors said “To make a strong fist, please fold your fingers, from pinky finger, ring finger, middle finger, index finger, and thumb, which may be a lie or urban legend in Karate world.

Have you ever asked yourself the question “Why?”.

Do you have enough time to do that to make your fist in front of a bad guy or opponent?

No way.

In Okinawan Karate, 4 fingers are folded at the same time and immediately, and use thumb to fix the index finger and middle finger like a lid.

You need to make a fist as immediately as possible for a street fight. Right?

I hope this helps.
