1. Circular hammer blow «Hammer-Hook» with front hammer

We start the course syllabus for level P2.

In this block, we’ll continue learning arm strikes, this time lateral and vertical.

In this first lesson, let’s learn the circular front hammer blow, «hammer-hook.» It’s a powerful strike that hits our attacker’s jaw.

STEPS

1. Neutral Position
2. The front hammer circle punch can be performed with either the right or left hand, depending on the situation.
3. The arm is thrown vertically and laterally inward, with the fist closed (knuckles facing outward). We strike with the side of the hand.
4. Turn your torso, tuck your shoulder, and slightly rotate the leg on the same side as the punch.
5. When you have struck, return your arm and step forward with the leg on the same side as the punch. Then, assume a combat stance.
6. Remember to keep your non-striking hand in a defensive stance to protect your face.
7. Perform several strikes, switching arms to practice from both sides.
