theyre actually heel palms strikes and are more effective than punching because the area of impact is smaller and the heel of the palm is more dense than any punch that you could make with a fist. I would tell you to checkout youtube and search for kenpo karate as reference. I often ask my students which hurts worse, a punch or a slap, everyone of them will tell you that my slaps hurt way worse, because of the heel palm slap striking that I utilize. and I promise you that you will rarely hear of someone breaking their heel palm bone, whereas, boxer breaks happen frequently, just look at ultimate fighter this season there has been two fighters who have broken their hands punching.
When you look up videos search for lord shandor on youtube, you find some crazy rock videos, but if they are still up, you will find one of the fastest kenpo guys known, blazing speed. good stuff. and AJ, try to be a little more open minded about the traditional arts, they have their good points too.
