I've been hitting the speed bag for about a year so now I'm trying to learn how to do elbows which has proved a bit challenging. The gym I hit at just got a deville swivel as I was using either a uhook or a chain link style swivel since they have three platforms at my gym. Took me a week or so to get use the deville but now it's really nice.
I've seemed to be able to get the hang of outward then fist strikes but the inward elbow with a FSP has proven a bit tougher.
I think I may've tried to learn how to do this incorrectly. I was doing more of a hook with the punch circling down and then my elbow popping upward and then in the direction of the hook punch. Is this incorrect? Or is this too much movement.
I looked at some vids and it shows a FSP and then the elbow in with the FSP and the elbow always on the same plane. I've tried this but when my elbow hits the bag the bag just stops so it feels like I don't have enough follow through with my elbow to make the bag move. I don't know if I'm standing too far back or if I need to move my hips more into the elbow to get enough power.
I ultimately want to do a 4 way continuous elbow. I've seen some vids on here that are very impressive and they make it look easy. Hopefully someone can help from description.
