Elbow Form

Here is a pattern that trains 5 angles of elbows, I can't remember where I learned this drill - I think it was from Matt Hume at AMC Pankration.

Here is Lockflow Capt. Slick demonstrating the form and also on the Mitts:

• Step 1

I start in a basic fighting stance
• Step 2

Pushing my left shoulder forward, I drive the outside blade of my lead forearm/elbow straight forward - like a jab with the flat of my arm
• Step 3

Bringing my left arm back to protect my face, I bring my right elbow down in a quick slashing manner
• Step 4

I twist to the right bringing my right hand up to protect my face as I slice my left elbow horizontally to the right
• Step 5

I drop my left arm down across my chest
• Step 6

Stepping forward with my left leg (not pictures) I drive my left elbow upward
• Step 7

I step across with my left foot
• Step 8

Pivoting on my left foot and turning my left knee in towards the right leg, I spin and look over my right shoulder
• Step 9

I finish the elbow form by dropping the right elbow downward - finishing with the spinning elbow
