История и происхождение
The standard palm strike technique is the basic execution of the palm heel blow, delivered with a thrusting or rising motion to the opponent's chin or face. [1] Fairbairn described this as 'one of the most effective blows that can be delivered,' noting that even a relatively weak individual can generate knockout force with a properly executed upward palm strike to the chin. [2] In Shotokan karate, Nakayama documented the teisho technique in the Tekki and Bassai kata, emphasising that the palm heel must be driven forward with full hip engagement. [3] The technique continues to be a core component of military combatives and law enforcement defensive tactics training worldwide. [1]

Эффективность
The palm strike delivers force through the heel of the palm, which is a dense, padded bone structure that can absorb impact without the risk of hand fractures associated with closed-fist punches ('boxer's fracture'). [1] This makes it a practical self-defence technique, though it is rarely used in sport competition where gloves protect the hands. [1]
Родословная
The palm strike (shotei/teisho in karate, zhang in Chinese martial arts) is found across numerous martial arts traditions. [1] Bas Rutten popularised the palm strike in Pancrase competition, where closed-fist punches to the head were prohibited, forcing him to adapt boxing technique to open-hand delivery. [2]
Соревновательные результаты
Bas Rutten used palm strikes exclusively to the head during his Pancrase career due to the promotion's rules, winning the King of Pancrase title three times (1995-1998) and demonstrating that palm strikes could be used as effective knockout weapons. [1]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Striking with the heel of the palm — transfers force similar to a punch while reducing risk of hand fracture
Joints Involved — Wrist (extended, locked), shoulder (flexion/rotation), hips (rotation for power)
Force Vector — Linear or circular — same trajectory as equivalent punch but with palm contact
Safety Advantage — The palm heel absorbs impact across a larger area — lower risk of metacarpal fracture compared to closed-fist strikes
Позиция и вход
From fighting stance — Drive the heel of the palm forward with hip rotation, same trajectory as a punch but with open hand
From self-defence situation — Use the palm strike when punching risks hand injury — targets the nose, chin, or ears
Варианты
Standard variation — primary execution of the strike from the most common stance
Power variation — modified mechanics for maximum force generation
Speed variation — minimised telegraph for a faster, harder-to-read attack
Counter variation — timed to exploit the opponent's offensive commitment

✓Begin from guard with both hands at chin level
✓Extend the striking hand straight from the chin, pulling the fingers back to expose the heel of the palm
✓Drive through the target using the same hip rotation as a straight punch — push off the rear foot, rotate the hip and shoulder
✓At full extension, the wrist is locked, fingers are pulled back, and the heel of the palm contacts the chin or nose
✓Retract to guard immediately after impact — snap the hand back to the chin
✓The non-striking hand stays pressed to the face in guard throughout
✓Drill on focus mitts: the trainer holds a mitt at face height and you palm-strike it with full mechanics, focusing on the sound of heel-of-palm contact
Типичные ошибки
!Extending without hip rotation — arm-only palm strikes lack the force to affect the opponent
!Not pulling the fingers all the way back — they can jam on the target or poke the eyes
!Bending the wrist at impact instead of keeping it rigidly locked
!Reaching with the head forward instead of stepping to close distance
!Using a slapping motion instead of a linear driving motion
!Not training the technique with full power — many people treat the palm strike as a light, throwaway gesture
!Failing to retract — the hand lingers at extension and becomes vulnerable to a grab

How should I position my fingers when executing a palm strike?
Group your fingers together rather than relying on individual fingers to make contact. Premier Martial Arts Marietta GA emphasizes turning your hand slightly to ensure proper finger alignment for the strike.
