We use punches, claws, finger strikes and palms.


The dropping of the palm is a concept onto itself.....



I could say the same things.
I think that's rediculous, when will you find yourself standing in a position above your opponent and trying to hit him downwards.

The only way I can see that downward strike is applicable is when you are on the ground with your opponent, with yourself in well postured position.
