A distinct type of palm-heel strike which is physically distinguishable by striking in a backward and upward direction - with fingers pointing downward.

Comments:

This strike is most typically effected on a relatively circular Path of Travel, due to the arm typically remaining stiff throughout its execution. Although, this is not a requirement of the strike.

By definition this strike employs a Lifting (or Snapping) Method of Execution.

Due to the nature of this strike's application, the clawing portion is only excluded on the Snapping version.

It could be said that this strike is a form of an underhand palm-heel strike, but is individualized due to its distinct Method of Execution.

This strike typically follows a Path of Travel that is relatively parallel to the vertical (width) center-line (and relatively perpendicular to the vertical (depth) center-line).

The word lifting, in this case, refers to the Method of Execution.
