3. Uppercut - An "uppercut" is a blow that
shoots up straight (along an imaginary line
from the floor) to an opponent's solar plexus
or to his chin. See Picture 40 below. Because
an uppercut rips up straight, it is very
difficult to block or evade. It comes up inside
the protections used against other blows-the
guarding elbows, forearms and hands. The
hip beneath the striking arm shifts. It shifts
aside somewhat as does the hip of a man
driving a golf ball. And the upward surge of
body-weight is somewhat similar to that in
the completion of a golf swing.
