Rolling Reverse Punches
Rolling Reverse Punches
Rolling reverse punches can be used in place of uppercuts. The
main difference is that rolling reverse punches are very circular
eliminating strain on the joints.
All of the previous rules apply. Centerline and center should
be adhered to. The back remains straight and the punches project
out the center.
Start your punch by putting your hand in front of you, palm out.
Make a circle with the hand as if you are running the hand around
the outside perimeter of a beach ball. The hips should turn to
keep the hand basically in front of you.
As the hand approaches the impact point, close the fist and continue
to rotate the fist to bring the two striking knuckles underneath
and up. As the punch is reaching it's impact point, squeeze the
hand and drive off of the floor. Concentrate on the Gluteus muscle
squeezing to power the punch throught the impact point. As the
punch hits it should be reinforced and connected all the way to
the ground.
As the punch is finishing the other is starting. Together they
form a figure eight motion. Squeeze each gluteus as the punch
reaches its point of impact.
These punches are best done out of a square horse stance to prevent
bouncing.
