"This is Kelly and Rob from South Florida Tang Soo Do coming to you from Muse Art in Hollywood, Florida. Before you saw a traditional hand technique, a high block. In Tang Soo Do, we also do modern techniques against modern types of scenarios. For example I might need to use a very simple in to out block against a hit in which I simply go in to out, it takes very little training. I’m using a nice long hand so I have less chance of missing, my stance is nice and low and stable. And this way I’m going to quickly follow up with something so it might look like this. To practice the palm-heel part of it, again it’s always good to practice the block and then the follow up and on that part I use my palm-heel and I just stay nice and low and punch. Keeping this hand up because this was using that block. "

on 8/2/2008 Kelly is right about keeping up with the times and using an open hand in the block. When I took karate in the past, the emphasis was on the closed fist, both in blocking and striking. When I studied Tai Chi, open hand was within the form; your instructor explained the hidden applications. When practicing against the training bag and the makiwara board, I found I preferred the open hand to the fist when striking, as Kelly is using when striking the body shield. I've returned to studying karate, and still prefer the open hand to the fist. An open-hand block is faster than a closed fist one, and the palm heel strike is "straight bone" so-to-speak, not only against the face, as demonstrated, but to the chest.
