Self Defense Combative Striking Tools Training Against Bamboo Bad Guy With Knuckle Saving Palm Strike

The palm strike is similar to the hammer fist in that it is a very effective way to weaponize the hand to deliver full force with minimized risk of injury to oneself. A full force strike with the knuckles can very well result in more harm to you than your opponent. The palm strike, or heal palm, is much safer and more reliable. It's effective mostly as a direct straight forward jab though it can be delivered at many angles if extreme care is given the positioning of the fingers to prevent injury.
