Elbow

View this post on Instagram

Elbow (Inward and Outward) - use elbows in the clinch when you're unable to throw full range punches or kicks. Aim for opponent's chin, jaw, or solar plexus. The elbow can also intercept/counter a boxer's punch - potentially breaking their knuckles as your elbow bone is stronger than the fingers. Twist your hips for power. Throw a left elbow and follow with a right in case opponent tries to dodge. . .
