Palace Hand (Udundi) is an old martial art rarely seen outside of Japan. Unlike many other schools of self-defense, Palace Hand has not been turned into a sport, and, because if this, it preserves a focus on practical, straightforward self-protection skills.
Palace Hand was designed as a battlefield and bodyguard art for the royal family on the island of Okinawa. It is specialized for enabling a person to handle a larger and stronger attacker or multiple attackers.
More than just punching and kicking, Palace Hand is a martial art, philosophy and path for personal development and self-mastery.
