You see this type of strike in many mixed martial arts such as Ninjitsu, Karate, Tae Kwon Do.

This strike is formed by bending the wrist and fingers to expose the palm of the hand.

The striking surface is the lower palm area.

Palm heel strike is good when protecting fingers, knuckles or wrist from unnecessary damage. An excellent jamming strike, good for stuns and blocking.
