Vertical hammer forward is part of a series of attacks. In a motion similar to a wave, lift your fist towards your temple, the elbow towards the outside, and strike forward and diagonally downwards to pass and hit strongly the target, recoil fast, turning the heel and the whole body to enable the shoulder to move forward as much as possible. Series of attacks that include the hammer punch vertically downwards. Raise your fist towards your temple and the elbow a bit towards the outside. In a wave motion strike downwards. Recoil fast. The body turns, strong turn of the hips, the heel towards the outside, sending the shoulder and the elbow of the striking hand above the imaginary target.
Elbow strike vertically backwards. Start with looking while sending the hand backwards, striking upwards with a fast recoil. Remember to pass the target. The whole body turns. The heel turns to the outside. This is the opposite heel. Look from the side of the shoulder, bend the upper body and the area of the shoulder blades forward so you are able to strike freely upwards. Hitting targets as response to a verbal or visual command with single strike or with series of attacks. Here we are striking with vertical strikes. Horizontal hammer strike sideways is an opening punch to a series of attacks sideways. The elbow starts the motion. It travels on a path like an arch. Life the heel to shift the weight and turn the body. At the moment of contact, the elbow already passed the line of the target.
Horizontal hammer strike backwards. Start with looking while striking backwards, turning the whole body, the opposite heel, the hips, the torso, the shoulders, enabling the elbow and the striking hammer to strongly pass the target. Hitting targets as response to a verbal or visual command with single strike or with series of attacks. Here we are using horizontal hammer strikes plus other punches.
