Outside Vertical Forearm (Strike)

 

A distinct type of forearm strike which is physically distinguishable by striking in an outward direction (hand oriented upward).

 

Comments:

 

For all intents and purposes, this strike is barely distinguishable from the standard extended outward block.

 

This strike most effected on a line.

 

This strike mainly uses a Hammering Method of Execution, but could use Snapping if desired.

 

The word outside, in this case, is equivalent to outward in both direction and contact point of the forearm.
