Many pressure point systems focus a lot of attention on where and even when to hit. Where to hit is important but it should not be the first priority.

Open Hand Basics - Part 1 Of 2 By: Richard Clear The teet lung pai system taught at Clear's Silat Schools includes pentjak and kuntao silat, tai chi, and aspects of shaolin chuan kung-fu, hsing-I and paqua.

This article will concentrate on the benefits of the open hand strike in general and five ways to strike in particular, as well as how they are utilized in specific styles.
Hitting through the target is more commonly practiced in the West. The hit is much more effective when it is led by the waist and when the intent is to hit through the target.

I immediately went and asked Tyrone about this. He simply smiled in a telling way and said “Don’t break, Just Keep Practicing”. I then realized that he was teaching me vibrating palm and how to transmit the energy through objects without damaging the surface. I got really excited and we were in the process of tearing down an old little 3 room guest house that was sitting in our back yard. I began striking the ti...
