How To Perform
1
Take your guard stance close to the bag, hands wrapped and gloves on.
2
Bend your lead elbow to roughly 90 degrees and raise it so your arm is level with your shoulder, fist beside your chin, palm facing the bag.
3
Pivot on your lead foot and rotate your hips and torso toward the bag so the power comes from your core, not just your arm.
4
Swing in a short horizontal arc and land with your first two knuckles, keeping your elbow height steady.
5
Rotate back to your guard and repeat. Keep your rear hand up to protect your chin.
