I don't see much loss in ability to control the arm and your partner by letting your hand slide nearer the hand a little so that the lower two fingers are at the joint, and this does decrease your partners joint flexibility which must be a good thing if this is a realistic attack. It also places the upper fingers at the pulse point on the wrist, which I am lead to believe is another part of the reasoning, although I do not yet understand the implications of this.

As for reducing RSI, I'm afraid I don't have any better solution, Paula! However, wrist attacks do not make up a lot of our training so I'd put this down as a low injury issue at our club compared to other sources.
