Okay, that slipped out without her meaning to. Uh. Whoops. Better dial that back.
"Okay, not quite. Fingers first, then thumb. And relax your grip a little. Check it."
She demonstrates by holding out her own fist, turned upward so Jolie can see the way the fingers and thumb are curled. First, she grips the thumb inside the fist, and demonstrates pressing it against her other palm.
"You hit like this, you're gonna break your thumb."
She then curls her fingers and rests the thumb along the side of her fist and demonstrated the same motion.
"You hit like this, the thumb's gonna hit first. Sucks, trust me."
She then curls the thumb around the closed knuckles and demonstrates a third time.
"This hits straight-on, thumb's out of the way. Still gonna hurt, especially if you never punch sh-stuff-"
She almost recovered. Damn.
"But it's not gonna break your thumb that way. Long as you keep your wrist steady, won't break that either. Now lemme see."
