Return Body Palm

Return Body Palm should first be practiced stationary on the left side moving in a counterclockwise direction. Once these movements are learned, you should do the right side or mirror image of the Return Body Palm going in a clockwise direction. Once you have practiced this stationary for about 1 month, or as long as it takes to properly execute this palm change, you then would move on to doing the palm change walking or continuous.
