We've never done it to each other, we salute, hand over fist.
What does this hand over fist represent?
Is it a technique or some sort of other meaning?

Some beleive this is a "readying" motion, others ( myself included) read a stricking motion to the middle secton.
This sounds more like the movement of Shotokan's Kanku - sho(sp) where the hand covers the wrist. I'm having truoble invisioning the hand covering the front of the fist being used in this way.I'm not saying your wrong I'm going to think on this some moreThe open hand is grabbing a hand that's grabbed the wrist of the closed hand and the hands are moving to execute a lock.
Interesting thought............wonder why nobody has done it before ................or maybe they have.

But rather than share it and get attacked as a "know it all," I'll just remain silent and keep it to myself...

We may be picturing it differently; I see the hand on the back of the fist (as in backfist), not the front.
I beleive we are thinking of different motons.I took hand covering fist, to relate to the front 'punching' knuckles.We may be picturing it differently; I see the hand on the back of the fist (as in backfist), not the front

But after the last exchange, I figure I will let those who are junior in the arts figure stuff out for themselves rather than help them in their pursuits...
They, after all, know far more than the rest of us...
Those who would like an alternate version of the reasons behind the open hand/closed fist salute can feel free to email me privately...

I have this neighbour that ... well, she is a lovely woman and means well but she is rather nosey and VERY opinionated as I experienced this morning.
Oh, forgot to add outspoken!
My daughter and I were out in the backyard practicing. My daughter studies EPAK and TKD, and I am solely Kenpo. Our yard is totally fenced in and has many large bushes/trees on the perimeter to provide privacy - or so I thought.
Seems the other day this lady watched us sparring in the back yard from her upstairs window. This appears to be the worst thing a mother can do with her child according to this woman...
I am teaching her to be aggressive apparently. She continued to tell me that I am not helping the violence in the world by showing my daughter how to trip someone and hit them with that big stick. (the bo we were using)
All this she was willing to overlook until this morning. She felt compelled to come over and confront me after watching us practice EPAK salutation.
This woman is very religious and she didn't hesitate to tell me her views on my family/friends and our martial arts practice.
So here is a question for all the folks on martial talk - is the practice of martial arts a religion? In many arts, students follow a "master". There are those individuals that studied directly with this "master" so are they "disciples"? Those who practice continue to "spread the word" or art and in doing so we "recruit" new souls?
This morning has been an interesting one ... lets see what your comments are.
:asian:
P.S. I will use the asian bow here, hopefully no one is watching through the window! :rofl:
