$Image titled 'Proper Fist Alignment is an Absolute Must!' from the Georgia Karate Academy and American JKA Karate Association. The image shows multiple diagrams of fists with text explanations for proper and improper fist alignment. - Top-left image: 'Good alignment with the contact area of the knuckles and the elbow will properly generate a straight line of force and power transmission.' - Top-center image: 'Completely tuck the thumb at the base of the clinched fist to protect it.' - Top-right image: 'Use only the two major knuckles closest to the hand for the fit of the two lower fingers to strike with.' - Middle-left image: 'Incorrect alignment of wrist with contact area of knuckles and fist will cause injury and lack of force.' - Middle-center image: 'Do not wrap the thumb inside of the fist. It will end up in pain with this hit!' - Middle-right image: 'Do not bend the wrist. This will improperly align the direction of force and may cause serious wrist fracture or injury.' - Bottom-left image: 'Good alignment of wrist with contact area of knuckles and fist for forceful striking.' - Bottom-center image: 'Clinch the fist completely to have zero air pockets between the fold of the fingers and the palm.' - Bottom-right image: 'The contact surface area of the straight fist is to be the first and second knuckles, no more, no less.' Each point includes corresponding illustrations of correct or incorrect fist positions, marked with checkmarks or Xs.$
