Targets and Techniques

Striking Surface: Front edge
To throw the roundhouse elbow
strike, pivot quickly and whip your
elbow round in a circular path, striking
the target with the front edge. (Figs.
27 and 28)
It is very important to keep in mind
the idea of whipping the elbow
through with maximum speed,
curving the body behind the blow.
There are many target areas for the
roundhouse elbow strike. These
include the temple, jaw, throat, solar
plexus, liver, floating ribs and the
kidneys.
