Karate:Chops and open hand strikes in Karate

In the Online Karate course offered by Zelus Academy, mastering Chops and Open Hand Strikes is an essential part of self-defense training. These techniques focus on using the palm’s heel or edge to deliver powerful, precise strikes to critical points of the opponent's body. In Karate online learning, students are trained to use these strikes both for offense and defense, giving them the tools to effectively disorient or incapacitate an opponent.

Open Hand Strikes are versatile and include:

  1. Palm strikes: A direct hit using the palm heel, targeting the opponent’s face or body with force.

  2. Finger strikes: Quick jabs using the fingers, aimed at vulnerable areas like the eyes or throat.

  3. Knuckle strikes: Striking with the knuckles in a close-range scenario, often used to target soft tissue areas.

  4. Palm heel strikes: A powerful upward thrust with the palm's heel, ideal for targeting the chin or nose.

Chops involve using the edge of the hand and include:

  1. Neck chops: A sharp strike aimed at the side of the neck, designed to disorient the opponent.

  2. Collarbone chop: Targeting the collarbone area, a sensitive spot that can cause severe pain and hinder movement.

  3. Reverse chop: Executed with the back of the hand, useful for hitting an opponent from an unexpected angle.

These techniques, emphasized in Zelus Academy's online Karate course, enhance self-defense by enabling learners to strike effectively and create opportunities to escape dangerous situations.Continue reading
