Targets and Techniques

Striking Surface: Front edge and point
A useful close-range weapon that performs a similar function to the uppercut.
The rising elbow strike creates great power within a short distance.
To throw the rising elbow strike, thrust the elbow upward in a tight arc, curving your
body to add power. (Fig. 32)
The main targets for the rising elbow strike are the chin, solar plexus and
between the shoulder blades.
