I'm talking about in the style of White Tiger Kempo like Hackney which he threw to fell a 600Ibs man.
Nowadays we don't see it as the gloves make palm heels almost impossible as well providing artificial protection to the knuckles, although we still see broken hands common.
So for barefist how viable is an overhand right with closed fist vs overhand palm heel?
I definitely favour the palm heel. Can generate just as much force and the overhand has too much chance of hitting the top of the head and causing a break to be thrown with full power as a closed fist.
