- New students and practitioners from other martial art systems or styles sometimes struggle with how Bagua Kuntao Silat creates and utilize certain movements due to the internal nature of the movements we generate. Piercing Palm is one of those movements that is continuously used in Bagua Kuntao Silat but is often improperly performed in the beginning or misunderstood, which causes poor form and unnecessary struggling with moving properly when performing the movement.
This video will hopefully instruct those students on how to properly perform Piercing Palm with Jing and how to test it with a follow-up exercise or test at the end which can be conducted any time. While it may seem very easy, is much more difficult than it appears. If not performed correctly, the desired results may occur. A small hole is not acceptable. A simple tear in the paper is meaningless. The student should only feel the paper strike on the tips of the fingers as the entire hand creates a hole seemingly all at once. At first, perform the test as shown in the video with a step for assistance. Later, perform the test without stepping. That is a more advanced method. Of course, you'll have to find your proper range which is an arm's length away which stops at the wrist. This will force you to create the proper qi, or energy, movement for Piercing Palm Jing.
Piercing Palm is introduced in Section One of the 64 Palms Form because it is a building block for many striking techniques, throws, weapons defenses and attacks, and more. It can be said that you can't practice Piercing Palm enough, and the more Piercing Palm is mastered, the better all of the other techniques and movements become due to the requirements for proper movement. The practice greatly helps with explosive movement especially at the higher levels of practice.
For self defense, a Piercing Palm strike to a sensitive or vulnerable area is devastating. It can be a fight ender. While emphasis is placed on the finger tips, the forearms and back of the hands may also be utilized dependent upon the desires result and technique being performed, however, the classic Piercing Palm penetrating motion must be appropriately master before variations can be performed well at all.

Bagua Kuntao Silat is kung fu that works!
Pops ty
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the comment.
That kind of reminds me of snake kung fu.
It is a serpentine/swimming dragon type of movement so there will be similarities to snake. Good eye!
