How to Perform a Palm Strike
-
Stance & Positioning: Begin in a balanced fighting stance with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hands up in a guard position.
-
Hand Preparation: Keep your fingers relaxed and slightly curled, ensuring your palm is open. The strike should be delivered with the heel of your palm.
-
Strike Execution: Extend your arm forward in a straight or slightly upward motion, aiming for the opponent’s nose, chin, or solar plexus.
-
Hip & Shoulder Engagement: Rotate your hips and shoulders slightly to generate power. The movement should come from your entire body, not just your arm.
-
Follow-Through & Recovery: After impact, quickly return to your guard position to maintain defense.
