Types of Arm Attacks - Other arm attacks

Wrists

Most wrist attacks are hooking or rising. Impact area is usually the top of the wrist.

Forearms

Forearms are usually used for blocking, so they are not usually thought of as an attacking weapon. Forearm attacks, such as a rising forearm to the chin or a hooking outer forearm to the side of the head are very effective.

Elbows

Most elbow attacks are circular. Arc of attack may be vertical or horizontal. Impact areas are front, back, tip, and sides of elbow.

Shoulders

When in close range, such as in a standing struggle, snapping the shoulder up under the opponent's chin is an effective attack.
