The Krav Maga palm strike employs identical body mechanics to the straight punch, with the key distinction being the striking surface: the heel of the palm rather than the knuckles. Both PsycheTruth and Krav Maga Worldwide instructors emphasize maintaining a straight-line trajectory, keeping the elbow down until the final moment of contact, and rotating power through the shoulders and hips while exhaling on impact. PsycheTruth stresses proper stance fundamentals—feet slightly wider than hip-width, back heel elevated, and body alignment along an imaginary centerline—while drilling the technique through progressive exercises including heavy bag work and dynamic "monkey in the middle" drills that incorporate directional awareness. Krav Maga Worldwide-Fort Lauderdale addresses two critical errors: improper hand positioning (thumb protruding, fingers curled) and telegraphing. The instructor prescribes thumb flexion with the knuckle bent inward to tighten the entire hand structure, keeping fingers relatively straight to avoid fingertip injury on missed strikes, and maintaining a relaxed neutral hand position until impact to preserve speed and prevent telegraphing. Mixing palm strikes with straight punches during pad work reinforces this relaxed-to-explosive transition. Both instructors agree the palm strike serves as a protective alternative when hand damage has occurred or when striking harder target areas where knuckle contact risks self-injury.

Krav Maga prioritizes the palm strike over the closed fist for self-defense — the palm heel distributes impact over a broader surface, reducing the risk of hand fractures. Imi Lichtenfeld designed the system for real-world effectiveness, not sport competition. (Lichtenfeld system; Krav Maga manuals)
The palm strike is safer for your hands, especially if you've already injured them during a fight or if you're striking harder parts of the body like the back of the head where knuckles are more likely to cause self-injury. According to Krav Maga Worldwide - Fort Lauderdale, Florida instructors, the palm heel uses a softer part of your hand, allowing you to keep fighting even if your hands are compromised.
Bend the knuckle on your thumb and tuck your thumb in next to your hand to prevent it from sticking out and getting injured. Keep your fingertips relaxed and open rather than curled back, as curled fingertips can bounce off the skull and cause injury if you miss slightly, per Krav Maga Worldwide - Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Keep your hands relaxed in your stance rather than pre-tensioning them. According to Krav Maga Worldwide - Fort Lauderdale, Florida, you should only lock your hand into the proper striking position at the moment of impact—relax, relax, then tighten up as you deliver the strike.
Practice delivering nonstop palm heel strikes as fast and as hard as possible for continuous seconds, with a partner ready to bump you from any angle so you can pivot and immediately transition into the fight leading with your weapons, per PsycheTruth.
The Krav Maga Palm Strike uses the heel of the palm to deliver a powerful strike to the face, chin, or nose, reducing the risk of hand injury compared to a closed fist.
