A distinct category of a strike which is physically distinguishable by striking with the forearm of the arm.

Comments:

Forearm strikes can be executed in number of directions (e.g. straight, side, up, down, etc.), orientations (e.g. horizontal, vertical, diagonal, etc.), and using linear or circular motion (with a number of pivot points).

Additionally, forearms can be executed with different Methods of Execution, including (but not limited to):

Thrust

Hammer

Hook

Roundhouse

Lift

Loop

Given the numerous potential options available to effect the maneuver, one can see that the potential for creating a list of all potential forearm strikes is daunting. This is why primarily only the forearm strikes included in the original written curriculum are individually listed in this section.

Derivation:

The term forearm is taken from the physical characteristic of the strike's contact point being the edge of the arm.
