You might recognize the Palm Heel strike from many mixed martial arts such systems such as Ninjitsu, Karate, Tae Kwon Do etc.
 The Palm Heel strike is formed by bending the wrist and fingers to expose the palm of the hand.
The striking surface is the lower palm area. The Palm heel strike is good when protecting fingers, knuckles or wrist from unnecessary damage. The Palm Heel Strike is an excellent jamming strike, good for stuns and blocking.
The Palm heel strike is great for self defense in general and the first strike to teach beginners as well as woman and children. The Palm Heel Strike is very effective and easy to learn. You have less body parts to injure as you are not using the wrist, knuckles and fingers, only the butt end of the forearm bones. It is a much stronger strike then a normal punch as well.
