How to Perform a Palm Strike

  1. Stance & Positioning: Begin in a balanced fighting stance with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hands up in a guard position.

  2. 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.

  3. Strike Execution: Extend your arm forward in a straight or slightly upward motion, aiming for the opponent’s nose, chin, or solar plexus.

  4. Hip & Shoulder Engagement: Rotate your hips and shoulders slightly to generate power. The movement should come from your entire body, not just your arm.

  5. Follow-Through & Recovery: After impact, quickly return to your guard position to maintain defense.
