it is a TRIGGERED SALUTE,

kinds like that punch that puts guys out where the lead hand moves only a short distance, yet hits like a anvil. This is about what the right foot (front foot for the boxer/mma type)is doing when the contact is made. If the front leg is rooted and pushing slightly inward, that lead hand punch gains some needed stability. I just worked TS with Jack and when I lifted my knee forward instead of sliding my foot along the ground, the pin was secure and I checked his leg quickly as the palm heel touched. The primary difference was the hip rotation as the right knee came up and forward. Drive the hips counter clockwise, lift the heel of the right foot, point of origin with the right heel palm and take over his space by checking the lead leg.

Correlation of Forces. Gotta love it!
