The palm changes on the way

The palm changes on the way I first endeavor to touch my opponent with my fingertips, and then the middle of the palm, and then finally the heel of the palm. This is often referred to as seating the palm. If I raise the fingertips up at the wrong time, it allows my opponent to easily sweep my hand aside , but when I keep the wrists rounded and the fingertips triangulating on my opponent, the arms act as a shield or a ward off and hold my opponents countering force at bay until I enter in and seat the palm. This method is almost lost by modern practitioners. Thanks for watching! If you like what you saw, there’s a link below to my online course!
