Colombianas Juan Martin

This piece appears in Juan Martin Solos Flamencos Vol2 Level 6 page 24.
I couldn't figure out how to play the strumming indicated by **.
The playing notes say"knuckles of closed hand hitting the strings. The chords are notated by X's for the notes."
DVD video shows him knocking on the golpe with middle knuckles.
I hope someone could explain how to do this technique in details?

RE: Colombianas Juan Martin (in reply to larrygraham)

Here is a copy on youtube: Colombianas starts at 9:09, and the pattern in question is shown starting at 9:29. Seems fairly clear. You can slow it down to half speed or even down to quarter speed via the custom setting, still with sound.

The audio is slightly off-sync with the video (the sound precedes the video by about 200 ms) , but he is NOT knocking on the golpeador - it is knuckles on the strings at that moment. I think the off-sync is throwing you off.

Here - I did two loops of the 9:29-9:35 strumming pattern with synced audio and video, at 1/8 of regular speed (12.5%):
