Video Transcript

"Now, if you could turn around please, stand up towards face me. You can aim this palm heel strike to areas other than the nose. The second place I want to show you where you can go with your palm heel strike is actually to the ribs. Now, to go to the ribs you don't want to keep your palm straight up and down like we were doing it to the nose because you can see right here how that's perfect for hitting the nose. You want to rotate your hands sideways so that your fingers are pointing outside, okay sideways. Now, aiming with heel still you want to direct towards the ribs and it will hurt, trust me. Getting knocked in the ribs with a palm heel strike doesn't feel pleasant. So then you just go like this, like this, like this. So a little combo action for you; you can go 1, 2, 3, 4. For the third palm heel strike, you're going to love this one ladies. Where do you think it's aiming towards? The groin, yes the other vital area that has no muscular protection. To adjust our palm heel strike for that area you're not going to go like this, you're not going to go like this, you're going to turn it upside down. Okay, fingers are pointing straight down. So with our fist pull back you can be in somewhat in a stance, you just need to aim down directly and hard. So, pulling your fist back, fingers are pointed down, you're aiming with the heel, you're going to go down with focus and direction. You don't want to like miss because you'll hit belly button, you might hit like thigh and that's not going to do anything you might hurt your wrist. You want to make sure that you're aiming right here and put some shoulder into it. Okay, so let's review palm heel strike to the nose, to the ribs, and to the groin. That's palm heel strike."
