In class on Saturday our focus was on a combo starting with the upward elbow. In the fight below, Anderson is south paw and Tony Fryklund is regular lead. This sets up Anderson with the perfect recipe for the inside angle. Since Tony covers up by putting his hands on the sides of his head and bends at the waist he is putting his head in the direct line for a knee or elbow. As I mentioned in class, this elbow can be done either in regular lead or false lead. It is very hard to perform in “off-lead.” The elbow could be replaced by an upward hammer fist and both flow well with the upper cut being directly behind the initial strike. Follow with a hook or cross after the upper cut, add two cups of flower, stir.
Just the knockout:
