Outward Back-Knuckle (Strike)

 

A distinct type of back-knuckle strike which is physically distinguishable by striking in an outward direction.

 

Comments:

 

The standard outward back-knuckle is the default strike one thinks of when referring to this strike.

 

This is a relatively generic basics term and not limited to any specific Method of Execution, direction, or type of travel.

 

Most typically, this strike is effected on a circular path of travel, but can be delivered linearly as needed.

 

The strike can be delivered using differing Methods of Execution. The most common are:

Thrust

Roundhouse

Snap

Lift (which is called out with its own basic - here)
