How Do You Throw A Straight Punch In Kyokushin Karate?
• Position your fist at the chest level. The shoulder must be relaxed, not tensed. • Make sure that your elbow points straight back, not winging out to the side. It should be at a 45 degree angle to the shoulder. • Execute the move so that the fist and forearm travels in a straight line to the solar plexus. • Lock your elbow down and keep your shoulders square; do not reach. It should be in a straight line from the fist to the shoulder. Hit at the solar plexus.
