I prefer palm strikes myself, but I feel the need to clarify 4 things:
>I am not the original guy who made the claim
>Palm is slower and more telegraphed than a jab
>Fist is not just used for jabs to the face, but also for hammerfists (arguably safer than palm strikes and more effective, albeit slower and require more specific opportunities), body shots (particularly liver shots) and cutting which can also end the fight
>Risk management is important, but dangers become negligible with basic training and both palm and fist become less a matter of personal safety pragmatism and more of a preference
