How to do it

  1. Take a fighting stance with your hands up, open, palms facing forward.
  2. Drive one hand straight out at shoulder height, striking with the heel of the palm - fingers up, wrist firm, hips rotating a little behind it - then snap it back as the other palm fires out.
  3. It's a punch delivered with the base of the hand: same speed, same rotation, same snap back to guard.
