The Inverted Lunging Snaps

There are two weapons involved here. An overhand forehand hammering backfist (done to the face) and an underhand backhand hammering hammer fist (done to the body). They are called the ‘Snaps’ because that is how they feel.

Both weapons are delivered in a speedy, light movement that looks deceptively mild. It isn’t.

Either of these strikes can be a finisher in its own right.

Usually, though, the strike is used like a jab. It is meant to flick out and damage an attacker. This damage might to minimal but it can also set me up for a powerful follow-up (like the swings I did yesterday).

The strikes snap out and measure the distance too.

Without prejudice
