Walk, if you change the fist to an ox-tounge shape you have discovered a fairly common cma strike called 展 'zhan'. The hand hits but the forearem and elbow following in the continuing arc is what actually cause damage. If you "believe" in (or don't believe, as it doesn't change the outcome) affecting and taking advantage of how an opponents 'wei qi' responds to and naturally attempts to protect the opponents body- then the zhan strikes have a serrating effect as their wei qi follows your hand and leaves nothing to protect their body from your elbow, it has a tearing effect on muscle tissue and can detach muscles from attachment points, even done lightly it hurts like hell.
