To Punch or Not To Punch?

Just this weekend I was running some players through A1 Slave Pits module. They entered the burned guardroom and were suprised by 8 ghouls and 2 ghasts. Things started going south when it came to save vs. paralyze rolls. The priest failed his on the very first hit he recieved and soon all but the mage were rigid on the ground getting eaten by the remaining three ghouls. Now this mage is not your typical mage -a 6'11" 300+ lb. brute who used to be a pit fighter(lvl 4) in Jalpa before turning to the magical arts. Out of usable spells he simply rolled up his sleeves and started pounding the ghouls brains out with his bare fists. He made every save when he was hit, and as I was in a generous mood I didn't make him roll vs. paralyze when his punches connected. We all had a good laugh when he saved the day, and I made a note to ask how others handle punching a ghoul. Is it the touch of the ghoul or touching a ghoul that causes paralysis?
