Ive done boxing for a long time and i can say this guy knows what hes on about. A lot of self defense teachers come up with stuff that just isnt practical but i was very surprised in this video
Yes this guy is the real deal I've used open hand in this way many years , and know from real street fighting it 3 times more powerful then a punch .And being thrown from a relaxed delivery when you adrenal is pumping is faster then the eyes as well .And allways remember its a strike not a push .
That is fantastic to hear and the total goal. Thanks for the support. Please let me know if you ever have any topic requests for videos. Hope to train with you soon. All the best from Montreal.
I'm consistently impressed with the quality of instruction on this video and other videos by Secoure. He's technically excellent and provides the kind of rich and nuanced understanding about conflict that I seldom encounter.
Love the palm strike and Kevin Secours makes excellent points on how to properly set up and deliver these strikes. I like palm strikes because as opposed to a closed fist, I feel I can deliver the same amount of disarming power/energy with a meaty palm and at the same time potentially protect my knuckles and wrist from damage. I also feel I can get closer to my target in an "apparent" defensive posture with open hands than if I've assumed a "fighting stance." Palm strikes to the chin, nose, TMJ, ear, carotid complex, trachea, solar plexus and groin can all disable an opponent instantly. From a bystander perspective, the guy with open hands is on the defensive and regardless of how things go down, it may be to your benefit legally to be perceived as the passive party in the altercation!
Perfect discussion - thanks! These are most of the same things I emphasize myself, but I honestly don't think I could have said it better myself. Kudos and thanks! Subscribed, sir - I like the way you analyze and present. 👍
excellent info. i appreciate the behavioral and psychophysiological approach to the instruction and considering applications first, rather than simply tools-based. i also like that you stress deescalation continually throughout so that the martial focus doesn't unbalance the video, if that makes sense.
RE number 3, in bagua zhang, you do a lot to generate "bear shoulders", which creates a LOT of range of motion in the shoulders, and makes that "cross" position much more functional, useful and powerful.
this info is very useful for bagua, as many people who train bagua mostly do forms. this could help people use their palms much better. thanks for posting...
The stepping forward whilst striking tip is excellent. This blitz style of attack is done excellently by ex UFC champion and karate master Lyoto Machida
Ive been binging your videos lately because this quarantine has me missing training and these videos help keep me mentally sharp. I find the palm strike to be a really important topic especially since it applies directly to our flinch response. I broke my hand 10 years ago so although I think my fist will deliver a solid punch theres no guarantee.. palm strikes seem safer in that regard as well.
Great content. I would encourage people to almost always preemptively strike and combining it with a straight blast seems really effective. Never really understood how to straight blast effectively. Do you have a video on that subject?
What if the opponent changes the angle of his head so that something bony sticks into the middle of the palm, which may bend and hurt your wrist, or hurt the metacarpal bones. I'm talking about too much pressure above the heel of the palm.
Anything can happen in a fight. People even miss the head and hit walls sometimes. What I can say with certainty is that the palm is far more durable and forgiving than the fist. I’ve used palms numerous times and find it far more reliable. One key thing to consider is to never throw anything with full power. It helps protect your own body

Thanks, teacher. I noticed with mitt training, the trainee has to punch across the centerline, be it jab or cross. Of course that's because the one holding the mitts holds it that way. Then here's the concept of attacking the centerline. Why don't we hold the mitts such that they're in the centerline, where were expected to strike? Thanks.
You need to remember that the mitts represent the targets but that the holder indies not represent the person you are fighting. When you punch a punching bag you are cultivating power on a target that doesn’t move. When you strike mitts you are imaginary by a persons head that has slipped from one side to the other. They can be held dlighrky closer together or at different heights to represent head and body targets but you are imagining you are hitting someone on the move rather than hitting through the position of the holder. Does that make sense? The most important way to defend your center line is head movement and footwork. You need to train to strike a dynamically moving opponent.
Tai chi of all systems with brush knee push utilizes palm strikes. I’ve trained Japanese karate, Muay Thai kickboxing, and Taijiquan since the early 70’s and find that palm strikes in self defense and street situations are more effective. I’ve also found that you don’t have to throw your techniques quickly to get that message across. For some reason it is difficult to defend against an open hand whether it’s a straight shot to the head or an open hand hook.
Open hand body shots are very powerful with kenitic linkange .And the laws of physics states 2 objects moving at the same speed the smaller object will receive more damage. However , so the knuckles are small and will not do the damge that a larger palm strike will .
Tyson generated tremendous power transference by moving forward similar to the biomechanical footwork motion of ice or rollerskating. As he V stepped obliquely outward with his left foot he would execute s straight right hand punch or overhand right punch. Then as he stepped forward on an outward oblique angle with his right foot he would execute a straight left hand punch or left hook punch. Effectively each time he utilized the full step forward tactic he would alternately switch stances from lead left foot to lead right foot or vice versa.
Of course. In fact old styles or martial arts from ancient times are not the joke,but we need more extra time for do it,unfortunetly in present time we (mostly) too busy for seeking some money or studied in school 😊
Another thing I had happen to me in a confrontation if you don't bring those fingers together on impact to a hard head your in a world of crap with a damaged finger or hand just run
yes the australian SASR special forces jab with the heel, buuuttt on impact your thumbs should be facing your own face as your heel hits there face. Now do an uppercut to the underside of his right jaw again as you heel impact your thumb faces your own face, now hook a slap with the heel to neck/face, backhand the windpipe with that heel again like a backhand flick jab. Open hand swung up between the legs so your thumb impacts the nuts, anyways all fun..
Your opponent may not be a he with nuts, and even if they are, don't count on a precision strike with small point (thumb) on small target ('nuts') while people are in motion. Of course a near miss can still hurt...
This is precisely the opposite of every I believe and an example of working a tool without context. Training power for the sake of power while reinforcing the bad habits of keeping your hands down, squaring off inside the aggressor's shoulders, and forsaking all distance control to stand chest to chest is not a self defense technique--at best it's a bully technique that can get you sucker punched just as quickly as you are instigating things. It's fine to say look how little distance I need to generate power but its a very dangerous thing to creating these habits in my opinion. This at best is an example of getting lost in the biomechanics of power generation. At best its a risky sucker-punch move.
I’ve never had anyone catch a strike out if the air or injured my fingers. There’s are a lot of reasons to flay the fingers from a muscular contraction perspective but you need to use what works gut you,. Results matter more than method.

Absolutely no better teacher. I feel like these lessons are being downloaded straight into my brain like the Matrix.

"know the path, walk the path."

Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any topic requests.
I really like the overhand strike in the wrist area like the clothesline punch it's good in close if you have short arms
100% im a lil guy and I luv it to. Only downside is that Radial Nerve. But if its good enough for bas ruten, its gd enough for me.
Excellent content delivered with incredible attention to the type of small details that empower the student on their path to mastery.
I strive for your levels of both martial and linguistic skill, fantastic instruction

Palm strike in the groin must be devastating !! Have you ever been forced to hit the groin in a real fight?
Makes sense thank you 😊 for your teaching .
Excellent work Kevin~!

@@Combatprofessor Thanks same to you! I hope to stop by the new ndg studio when this is all over!
Simon Dayan that would be great :)
AWESOME EXPLANATION! THANKS!!!
My pleasure.

Thanks for watching. I do have video on the straight blast but I think its in a download. I will try to prep something for youtube for you.
Anyone notice the combination of lowercase and uppercase letters in his writing. Example - TooLS, SySTEM, DELIVERy
No i DiD nOt.

I use to hit with palm strikes, i feel like its more effective for the streets
Great video

@@Combatprofessor It makes much sense. So, I should imagine the mitts to be heads that are bobbing/weaving. Million thanks.
Reducing force going back into "your own structure", also means you are reducing the force of the blow... That is the first rule of physics.
Yep

I’ve trained Japanese karate, Muay Thai kickboxing, and Taijiquan since the early 70’s and find that palm strikes in self defense and street situations are more effective.

Do Karate palm strikes (keeping the palm rigid and hard) work well in street fights?
Absolutely. There are lots of different ways to throw a palm strike.
toujours aussi intéressant tes posts! 😎
Merci Sebastien.
Anything on elbows Kevin?

interesting, i loved it

Instead of moving punches into your opponent like a locomotive in wing chun, use your palms.

I've used palm strikes you don't hold your fingers open,somebody can grab a hold of your pinky or any finger and break it
I’ve never had anyone catch a strike out if the air or injured my fingers. There’s are a lot of reasons to flay the fingers from a muscular contraction perspective but you need to use what works gut you,. Results matter more than method.
My fingers get in the way
