Types of Arm Attacks

Punches

Punches are attacks that use a closed fist.

• The fist may be positioned vertically, horizontally, or anywhere in between.
• Usually the striking surface is the first two knuckles but all four knuckles may be used. 
• Techniques include jab, cross, hook, and uppercut.
• Usually delivered in a linear or hooking motion.
• A punch may be a single power punch or a series of punches where the back and forth action-reaction movement transfers power from the retracting arm to the punching arm.
• Punches are usually targeted to the face or upper torso.
