i like using a ridge hand strike. where i strike at disrupts blood flow enough to make them melt/fall down. i do this to all the teakwondo peeps that insist on kicking me. i tell them you have a better chance at hitting me than kicking me. a good just below sternum strike is fun also with the heel of the palm

No. If it's hand-to-hand and I'm that close, it's eye gouge and/or throat punch. IMO.

In my agency, we're actually taught open palm strikes in our defensive tactics. One handed and two handed. And various blows with elbows, too

So where we, because it looks better on camera than a fist punching the dog snot out of someone.

i'm a big fan of the "purple nurple" followed by the dreaded "rear admiral wedgie".
that's why i'm called the "big dog" around these parts.

My teacher back in to 50s taught using the palm strike along with the thumb in the armpit. Palm strike to the ear when head turned and palm strike to the lower left t side of the heart. He said fight to end not win. I had my share of bare knuckle and it was $10 if you lost and $25 if you won. No measured rounds no count outs and you couldn't strike when opponit was on the ground. I came home a couple of times with $20.
