How to do it

1. Lie back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor, and your hands up in guard by your head.
2. Sit up and, at the top of the movement, drive one elbow horizontally across your body in a strike, rotating through your torso - then lower yourself back down with control and sit up into a strike with the other elbow.
3. The sit-up powers the strike: come up fast, rotate hard, go down slow.
