How to train the slap strike in the Pekiti-Tirsia system. There should be a progression of steps in your training to equally develop power, timing and accuracy. I often use this drill to teach slap to groups I won't have much training time with, such as LEO & military groups. The slap is especially useful for groups that use a firearm as their main weapon, since it is much less likely to result in a hand injury than using a punch, (in the 1990s the NYPD's reported that 20-25% of injuries during assault on officer cases included a broken right hand of the officer). In my martial arts classes, slap training would also include many hours of hard contact drills with rattan sticks (which I call "Filipino iron palm training."), plus many hours of hitting focus mitts.
