Palm Heel Strike

Before beginning this new physical skill and self defense move, I would like to preface with an understanding as to why we do not teach self-defense students how to punch using a fist, and why I feel that using the palm of your hand is the preferred and natural choice of a self defense strike to an attacker.

Those readers who have had any boxing training immediately understand that learning to punch involves a great deal of practice and skill. Keeping the wrist in line with the arm to transfer the power takes practice, discipline and time.

Also, the strike zone of the fist is a small area, and it is possible to break fingers or the wrist bones using the fists to strike the head. Using your fists can be dangerous for you as a self defense move in womens self defense.

However, using the palm of your hand as a self defense strike gives you the advantages of a larger surface to strike with, safely transfer the striking power generated from your body through your arms to the target, and you have additional abilities to use your fingers to visually cripple the offender.

A Simple Plan: Use "offensive" types of self defense moves that require only a minimum of practice and are easy self defense strikes to use under stress. These are the essential ingredients to a successful womens self defense program.

Using the bottom portion of your hand is the safest way to strike!.
