Uppercut:
The uppercut is the most difficult punch in terms of structure. It is triggered by hip rotation. In preparation, the fist and upper body are dropped slightly. The forearm is then brought up vertically in front of the body and the legs, hips and torso are stretched at the same time. The fist should hit the chin from below.
Exercise:
From the starting position, the partner stretches one hand slightly towards the other participant and raises the elbow so that the palm is pointing down towards the floor (open fist). The upper and lower arm are approximately at right angles. The attacker strikes an uppercut crosswise into the palm of the partner's hand. After a few punches, the roles are reversed. Caution: the attacker makes sure that the palm of the hand is facing their own body during the uppercut and that the upper body is dropped slightly before the punch.
