The 2 hand palm strike to the face is an old move. Really old. Its an integral part of the traditional Kung fu styles that I have spent a lot of time practicing. But I have never seen it actually trained outside of traditional forms and put to use in a practical drill. Traditional martial arts (TMA) forms are interesting. A form is like a piece of poetry, or a mantra, that people practice so they can remember all the important techniques (words and phrases) of a style. This move is in many forms of many styles, so a multitude of practitioners throughout the last several hundred years thought it valuable enough to remember. A problem that I find is that there has not been a practical way to actually safely and repeatably practice the techniques of many TMAs under useful training stress conditions in our modern world. However, it was useful in the past doesnt seem to be taught anymore. Now that we have equipment (@spartantraininggear ) that allows us to have repeatable stressed training drills, we can start to explore techniques such as this in a meaningful way. #wildmanathletica #themarkwildman
