The rule of thumb is hard on soft, soft on hard. Closed fist (hard) on soft targets (abdomen, groin, etc), open hand (soft) on hard targets (head, ribs, etc).

I love these empty hand fighting drills, whether it'd be closed-fist or open-fist, along with elbow strikes.

Being a medic in my early training and now in my training with self defense. I teach students to train with both open and closed hands. Most of my students don't have time to train their fists to strike hard objects. So I teach them to strike hard boney areas with open strikes and soft targets with fists. Great video. Thank you for all you do.

I love hand to hand competition. Thanks Paul for all your hard work.

As a completely new person to kali and self defense. The soft method seems like a good way to start. Like anything else you practice, continuously learning is essential. And hard will come eventually for myself. thank you for your videos

"Hi,paul I love to watch your videos and your demonstrations it's a wonderful drills on how panantukan have many different angles of entry of attacks

I like both closed fists to body open hand hacks chops to neck and face. Palmstrike as well.hammerfist as well.keep up the good work paul and kali center

I am a 60 year martial artist with arthritis in my middle and index fingers. A full fist punch can be painful but vertical ones, not has much. The hammer is one of my go to strikes or back fist. Some palm strikes. Elbow strikes are my knockouts. Being a smaller man, I need to get in close and that's how I train. This is also great for grappling set ups. I will slap the piss out of you if it's an option. Sounds feminine but it hurts.

I am a fan of both strikes. This is an outstanding video. 🙏🏿🇺🇸

That hammer blow to the ear is very dangerous 😳

Awesome lesson 👏

I like using both forms of open hand techniques.

Got to go with the flow. Which ever is appropriate.

Nice combo, As a old life time Martial Artist it's instinct to throw boxing punches to the head. But I tell my students to use hammer fists or palm strikes for the head and save closed fists for the body. I believe Uppercuts can be closed fist, as the danger is in striking the forhead and breaking your hand! What do you think? I too think that Kali arm is a cool training aid!

So true! 👍🏻🙏🏻

I'm always going to start open hands, up as if I don't want any trouble but ready to cover or block. I never present a fighting stance! I don't want an attacker to know I'm ready to fight. Open hands raised, try to de-escalate but kept them just inside my power range. 2nd Dan here.

I love the technique and combination.

Closed or open hands, both are preferrable and useful for offensive and defensive strikes.

There are many different styles of Filipino Martial Arts. They all differ from one another in different ways while having a few main principles that usually cross over.

@@kalicenter Something I love about FMA is that so many influences from Asia and Europe have influenced them. They've taken more formal and stylized systems, and given them more flexibility and spontaneity in the attack. The weapon influence is very apparent. I've studied some European arts, and FMA have very similar principles. Both cultures were influenced by edged weapons. And today both have adopted modern tools like firearms and collapsible batons.

Drop your elbows, relax your traps and lateral delts.

Open hand

I think it's important to know how to use both. The rule of thumb for me is hard weapons to soft targets, soft weapons to hard targets.
