The Palmheel Thrust

http://youtu.be/CytmRTuFqVw
I make a Palmheel just as I show in the video. I simply pull the palm back and expose the base of the palm. I can then use what I call the top of the Palmheel for thrusting. This is different than the bottom of the Palmheel which I will cover another day.

The disadvantage of using top of the Palmheel is that it exposes the fingers to damage. I also have to be closer to land a thrust. And if I am a little off, I can land the palm instead of the Palmheel which can cause damage to the wrist.

On the other hand, this thrust is very similar to the Forefist from the high guard with the rear arm.

The padding of top of the Palmheel allows for a very strong strike and it requires very little practice to form it (although using it is a slightly different story).

As I said before, constant practice will improve it so that it will become a reflex. Constant monitoring can improve it as well (occasionally observing oneself practicing in a mirror for instance).

Without prejudice
