The Palm Strike is aimed at which part of the body for what purpose?

The Palm Strike is primarily aimed at the upper torso or chin with the purpose of stopping aggressive forward momentum from an assailant. This technique utilizes the natural strength of the palm to deliver a powerful upward or forward strike, which can disrupt an attacker’s balance and prevent them from continuing their advance. By targeting areas such as the chin, the Palm Strike can effectively jar the head, which may lead to disorientation or temporarily incapacitate the assailant.

This striking technique is particularly effective in self-defense scenarios, as it allows for a quick and decisive action that can create an opportunity to escape or further defend oneself. The focus on the upper torso and chin emphasizes the goal of neutralizing a threat rather than causing severe harm, aligning with self-defense principles that prioritize personal safety and de-escalation wherever possible.
