Karate Thumb Attack - Drop Someone Fast

In Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate the thumb has a formal position in certain kata movements (particularly tora-guchi), and even during warm up (junbi undo) exercises. The thumb must be held in a certain position when lifting the nigiri game (gripping jars), so that the first knuckle joint is used to grasp, and not the thumb tip. This video demonstrates one of the reasons for this position.
