How to do it

  1. Take a fighting stance with your fists up in guard.
  2. Punch one fist straight up overhead, arm extending fully toward the ceiling, then pull it back to guard as the other fist fires up - alternating in a steady rhythm.
  3. Reach a little higher with every punch, keep your torso tall rather than leaning side to side, and snap the fists back to guard as fast as they go up.
