BLH28 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 every time i punch, my elbow pops. it does this with both arms, but mainly my right arm. is there any exersizes i could do in order to prevent this, or is this not even an issue to worry about? Also, could you include a workout plan to increase punching power? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 It sounds like you're hyperextending your elbow, which isn't too comfy-feeling! My suggestion is that you avoid fully extending your arm when you punch. You should never fully extend any technique, because you run the risk of hyperextending your joints. 1st dan & Asst.

WhiteBelt Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Avoid fully extending when you punch/kick air, but fully extend when you punch a bag/person/wall/stuffed animal/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
