Single Palm Strike and Chain Palm Strike

Chain Palm Strikes

The Palm Strike is a strike with the palm.  Similar to the punch, it travels along the centreline in a straight line.  This let's the strike travel the shortest distance between two points.

An advantage of the Palm Strike is that it is much safer to do compared to punching.  There is no risk of damaging the knuckles unlike the punch, and the palm strike has a natural alignment with the arm and wrist.

The Chain Palm Strike is when Palm Strikes are done continuously.  Similar to Chain Punching.
