In tournament, 捅(Tong) is only allowed to punch on opponent's shoulder to break the grip. Most of the time, it starts from a side door upper color grip.
I once wrestled with a Judo instructor, Since his loose Judo jacket, I accidently punch on his face instead. He won't wrestle with me after that.
In the video the Tong move looked more like a push than a punch.
Should the Tong move done right damage an arm or potentially numb it or are their rules around how it hits?
I have not tried to punch a SJ jacket wearer but I know if I grabbed an opponents arm & hit (with bare knuckles) the chest or a connecting point between the chest and arm it would not be pleasant. This is even with a short range hit.
