Howdy, I guess that I don't think of the hand as opposing itself. It is just a grip, noting that the hand will technically oppose itself when holding something. Not that I use this particular technique, but I do notice that the shoulder, arm, hand, and even my fingers work in complex ways that create resistance and opposition for better control of the hammer. I do not use the Fujan, so that hammer may really call for a particular grip especially since it is so wide. That I can't comment on.
