"Introducing open palm striking"

The following techniques I am about to share are actually being used by different countries in their military. I am going to discuss the pro's and con's of punching and open palm striking.

An open palm strike is when you hit your opponent with the palm of your hand rather then hitting him with your knuckles. When used properly this technique can be just as valuable as a punch, without the risk of injuring yourself. There are mainly two types of open palm striking and that is the knife edge hand strike and the open palm strike.

The edge hand strike is great for hitting pressure points on the body, but an open palm strike is more effective for punches to the face and other targets.

Now punching is just as devastating but unfortunately if you injure your hand, you're not going to last in a fight very long. If you do not train with a punching bag, then it's safe to say you are at a higher risk of breaking your hand.

If you prefer punches I would highly suggest that you strengthen your knuckles and fists. If you want to try open palm striking, practice on a punching bag or with focus mits (with a partner.)
