    Quite well, if it's the right sparring partner, usually set it up first with some grappling/BJJ and then unleash the Donkey Punch for a finish

    Would you recommend taking the back before executing it?

    Phoenix eye fist is karate's ippon ken. Dragon's head is usually the name I've heard for the nakada ippon ken. Taekwondo calls them "single knuckle fist" and "middle knuckle fist" respectively.
