Wakeman, in addition to being a tremendous scholar of the Republican era, had also practiced quite a bit of xingyi until his knees gave out. Wakeman told my friend that the fingernail trick was also the origin of the death touch. I.e. there's poison under the finger nail, the practitioner scratches the opponent, and then boom. Dead in a few days. A friend of mine took a class with the late Prof. Fred Wakeman.
