Inward, Overhead Elbow Strike Sequence

form_pattern_push_down_elbow

 

The inward, overhead elbow sequence is as follows:

1)Step through reverse into a right neutral bow with a right, hammering, inward overhead elbow, while simultaneously retracting the left arm to a left chambered position
2)Repeat the sequence on the opposite side (toward 1:30H)
3)Repeat the sequence on the opposite side (toward 1:30H)

 

An analysis of this sequence exposes the following information:

it uses one-in-one timing

it demonstrates retreating on the minor angle ('x')

it travels on the opposite (perpendicular, overlapping)  angle of the Inside, Downward Palm up Sequence

it reverses the direction traveled by the Push-down Sequence

 

Inward, Overhead Elbow Specific Information

An analysis of this maneuver exposes the following information:

it does not have direct line-of-sight to intended targets

the maneuver switches rear weapons to front weapons after foot maneuver execution

the maneuver begins execution as a circular line of travel and completes on a linear line of travel

the linear line of travel shows the opposite (downward) direction to the upper-cut in the Half-knuckle Sequence (upward)

settling into stance during the execution emphasizes the power principle gravitational marriage

part of the executing arm travels outside the Outer Rim
