Shoulder Whirl Drill

The shoulder whirl is a movement by in which one
shoulder whips forward while the other whips back.
The process is also assisted by shifting the weight
from one leg to the other. You need to concern
yourself only with moving the shoulder. And the
assisting muscles and movements will come
naturally. To do this whirling movement. Turn your
shoulders to your own left, at the same time, you
extend your right fist to the chin of an imaginary
opponent. As the right fist moves toward the
imaginary opponent's chin, rotate the fist with your
palm facing down. As you get the feel of the whirl, Do
a sudden whirl with your shoulders to your right,
and let the shoulder-whirl shoot your left fist straight
at the same spot where your right fist has landed.

Note: Be sure you let the whirl shoot your fist instead
of letting your projecting left arm pull your left
shoulder around.
