The actual grip is good for fighting, I just don't like the name. Whereas Icepick Grip is very descriptive of its purpose (stabbing more or less downward like an icepick), Hammer Grip does not accurately describe stabbing more or less upward.

Imi Lichtenfeld calls this grip "Oriental Grip" (he calls Icepick "Regular Grip"). I think I actually like this name better. Is this grip particularly popular in Oriental methods of fighting?
