Love this - although I felt sorry for the chap he's demonstrating on. I trained on Lee's 'Sharp edge' knife defence course a few years ago and he's the real thing. Nice bloke but very dangerous.
Thing is, palm strikes are some of the simplest we learn in training, yet often get bypassed as people look for the more 'advanced' stuff. Geoff Thompson was teaching the same sort of thing in the 90's and the traditionalists were horrified. If you don't drill palm strikes to the face already it's always worth doing.

I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything!

yup, been teaching this for years, I favour the open hand strikes as the UK courts look less favourably on punches  |

Much easier to teach a non combatant as they usually don't have the reflexes or wrist strength for punching.

I tore a meniscus in my wrist by slapping the ground ( Judo). I'll have to come up with something else to shock the brain (tongue twister, sudoku, ball peen hammer?)  |
