Palm Heel Strike

For the typical trainee, the palm heel strike will be the most important striking technique.

The palm heel strike is preferred over punching with fists, since it negates the possibility of breaking your hand when you strike and opponent.

The palm heel strike is delivered by striking with the bottom of your open hand.  It can be delivered as a lead technique, or as a follow up technique.

It can also be delivered to the body when in close quarters.  I’ll demonstrate that in future videos.

In the video below, I demonstrate how to throw the palm heel strike and how to train it on the heavy bag.
