4. Uppercut
Punch in an upward thrust with the fist pointing at the ceiling.
Imaginary Target: Chin
- Stand with your left foot forward in fighting stance.
- Drop your right hand slightly and bend both knees, then twist your hips to the left as you thrust your right fist straight up and slightly forward with knuckles facing the ceiling and palm facing body.
- Keep your left fist by your face.
- Recoil immediately and return to fighting stance.
Quick Tip: To generate more force, drive the punch from your legs up. Don't punch up beyond the tip of your nose.
