Punching the head isn't a great idea in general, it's better to just open palm it and save knuckles for the soft places. Better yet, just use your elbow or forearm, or a baseball bat.

Thumb in or out? I always forget… :/

That dude's neck placement is hilarious

My ring finger is longer than my pointer finger, though I can't tell if their knuckles are the largest two. Should I punch with those knuckles?

Probably yeah. You want the most stability in your punch. Think of the line the force has to take back into your body, the more bone and muscle that line goes through the better.

But if you really want to learn to punch go take lessons. Join an anarchist gym if you're fortunate enough to have one.
