DESCRIPTION: Eye rakes and gouges
      
Thumb gouge and eye strikes (yellow belt)
Finger strikes to the eyes disable an opponent quickly, viciously, and effectively. The eyeball can be collapsed with minimum pressure (3 lbs.). Blinding or partially blinding an attacker sets up pretzel follow-up strikes to end a confrontation quickly.

For a multiple finger strike, fold your fingers slightly inward and spread them just enough so they do not touch. Flexing the fingers inward collapses them into their natural articulation.
Execute the strike with a body movement similar to your straight punches but with the fingers making contact with the eyes.
The rule of thumb(s): if find the opponent’s cheekbone, you find the eye. (This is important if you cannot see your attacker, such as a ground-fighting situation or if it is dark.)

1) Finger strikes to eyes (fingers are curved down to avoid breaking them) focusing on index and middle fingers

Same movement as...
