Uppercut-

The uppercut is a powerful blow when you are close to your opponent. It relies on exploding your body weight upward to generate great knowledge power.

From a fighting stance, dip a little and bring your lead shoulders and hip slightly forward. Do not drop you lean hand before the punch. In a short, snappy motion, turn your palm to face you, and rip your uppercut between your opponent's hands up to the chin. Return to a fighting stance, unless you are going to the next step of a combination.

The uppercut can also be thrown successfully with the rear hand. Utilize the rear hip and shoulder to add even more power to the blow. The uppercut is an excellent counter tot the opponent who changes level into a takedown. Time his level change, and launch the uppercut with commitment straight to the chin, catching his forward movement and generating great power.
