How to do it

1. Take a fighting stance with your fists up in guard.
2. Bend one arm to roughly 90 degrees, raise the elbow to shoulder height, and swing the fist horizontally across your body - pivoting on the same-side foot and rotating your hips into the punch, as though your whole side turns behind it.
3. Snap back to guard and hook with the other hand.
4. The arm holds its shape; the power comes from the pivot.
