Okay. Now that we have learned about how to make a proper fist and we've talked about where you are going to be coming from the chamber position on your strikes, we are going to start on your first strike and that's going to be called a Middle Thrust Punch or Chudan Tzuki.
Okay, I'm going to want you to try to make sure you repeat after me anytime I give you the terminology because that's part of your training as learning the terminology for each of the techniques. So we are going to start with your right hand and you are going to notice, I am going to be left hand because everything that we do, I am going to try to use mirror technique to help you understand it a little easier.
So I want you to place your right hand on your hip and we are going to start on that thrust punch. We are going to work it very slowly. I want you to bring it out, rubbing your arm alongside your body right when you get to where you're completing the technique, you are going to rotate at the forearm and stop the punch.
Aiming with these two knuckles which we called seiken, that's what you're striking with, the seiken. Once again bring your arm back, palm up, chamber position, bring it out slowly, keeping your elbow down, right on completion of technique, the hand turns over. Your turn over is in the forearm, not with the elbow. One of the most common mistakes made by people throwing punches is allowing the elbow to come to the outside of the body.
Once you do that, that allows your punch to collapse if it's hitting something solid. So I want you to be very conscious of keeping that elbow down. Anyone can throw a punch but throwing a punch with proper bone alignment so that it'll be the most effective punch your body can throw, is very important. So if you need to in the beginning, touch your elbow, fill your elbow and when you are turning that forearm over make sure you don't allow the elbow to go to the outside.
