[KS10.0] Basic Mount Technique-[Circular Elbow Strike]

When the opponent places you in the guard, striking is not eliminated from the fight. Never stop striking the opponent. One of the most powerful blows is made with your elbow. You need to generate power through shoulder rotation.

Note: The elbow is a large bone and rarely will be injured. This basic technique should have been taught in their karate/kickboxing training.

Warning: Never, purposely follow an attacker to the ground.

Execution:

• Student is in the guard or in top or full mount.
• Rotate the shoulders right and left driving the elbow to the opponent’s head.

Note: Do not let the grappler grab your arm. However, you may want to tie-up one of the opponent’s arms while you punch with the other. 

Note: Try to cut the eyebrow and get blood flowing. This is a distraction to the opponent and, it can limit their vision.

Target Area:

• Eyebrow area.
• Temple
• Nose
• Jaw

Note:  Alternate the circular strikes right and left, combined with knees strikes, headbutts, and elbow strikes.
