This strike is most typically effected on a relatively horizontally upward diagonal circle.
By definition, this strike uses a Looping Method of Execution.
The contact of this strike is made after the apex of the circle - thus, the pulling nature of the strike.
The word looping, in this case, refers to the Method of Execution of the strike.
The word overhead, in this case, refers to the path of the Return Motion traveling over the head.
This is essentially the inverted version of the hook punch. |
