Elbow-strike forward and inward: Start lifting the elbow in an angle, hit horizontally, turn the body in a strong torque. Shift the weight to the side in the direction of the attack. Turn the leg so the heel will point sideways. The hitting path in this strike is the couple of inches, about five centimeters close to the point of the elbow. Your center of body should pass the target.
Horizontal elbow-strike sideways: Start with the hand movement, shift the weight, turn the body. Strike with the backside of the elbow, the last couple of inches, about five centimeters closer to the point of the elbow, the lower part of the triceps. Remember to pass the target 20/25 centimeters, about 10 inches, recoil very fast. The other hand is positioned with the elbow near the ribs and the palm near the face.
Horizontal elbow-strike backwards: Start with looking, sending the elbow, in an arch, horizontally backwards. Pass the target, send the weight in the direction of the strike, strongly turn the hips and the opposite heel to the attacking hand.
Should hit with the area closer to the elbow, the last two inches, about five centimeters of the triceps, the lower part of the upper arm. This strike is almost identical to the elbow-strike sideways. However, the body turns more, about 90 degrees.
Training with a partner on the different elbow-strikes. Horizontal elbow-strike inward, this is forward one. Elbow-strike horizontally sideways. Elbow-strike horizontally backwards. During the strike, pass strongly the target, remember to recoil fast, to be ready and able for the next action. Naturally, we should combine different strikes. Here, we are making combinations of the elbow-strikes.
B. Ready Stances and Movements
Notes: Punches are first practiced from a semi-passive stance;
later from a general ready stance. Practitioner should understand
principles of attacks and proper way to make a fist.
F. Kicks
Note: Kicks should be taught first from the passive stance, later from other stances.
G. Combinations Using Learned Attacks
General Note: Emphasize recoiling in all attacks (especially straight punches and regular kicks).
