The Uppercut

“	The point, as with any forum, is to dicuss or communicate. Forget the author; Do you like the article? Do you like uppercuts? Do I have to post questions at the end of each thread to get responses?	”

The uppercut is a fine tech. Just trying to figure out what it is you are posing for us to discuss. You are vague when it comes to discussing topics. Maybe you should try being more "straight forward" when posting. Just a suggestion.

so 47...how about listing some of the common flaws using an uppercut strike, give us about 5 or 6 and how about listing about 5 or 6 methods of countering them. You could also ad a few non-strike counters to them...please be detailed then we can talk about them with better results.

We know that.

“	Originally Posted By: 47MartialMan Forget the author;	”

We're trying but you won't leave.

“	Originally Posted By: 47MartialMan Do you like the article?	”

Not particularly. It doesn't read.

“	Originally Posted By: 47MartialMan Do you like uppercuts?	”

Yeah I do a couple hundred a week in drills & setes.

“	Originally Posted By: 47MartialMan Do I have to post questions at the end of each thread to get responses?	”

Yes since you tend to post the miscellaneous, non-descript topic & expect any/all readers to know where you're coming from, what you're fishing for & how to converse with you on your terms since any other clearly aren't what you're antcipating.

So yeah... unless it's concise, clear statement... ask a question after the ramblings.

A lot of martial artists dont practice uppercuts as it ressembles boxing rather than the Asian projection.

What do you think are the pros and cons?

When you answer the questions in post #18 then we can talk about the pros and cons

Fair enough.

The upper cut is a nice move. But like any other move, it has to be used in combination and not thought of as the "magic bullet"

The target is not large and not always accesible.

It is hard to do once any type of clenching is involved.

It is a close range application.

Actually, quite the opposite is true....

The target is not large and not always accesible. In martial arts the typical uppercut target is large and being accesible is backward thinking, moves are options that are applied as accesible targets are presented, or made

It is hard to do once any type of clenching is involved. in some cases it is one of the few strike options

It is a close range application. Not in many long fist styles

47 let me repeat the questions

how about listing some of the common flaws using an uppercut strike

listing about 5 or 6 methods of countering them.

also ad a few non-strike counters to them

have to agree with cam and aqira one of the few strikes that work in clinch for me. "Dirty boxing type" is probably one of the better with a single arm clinch to the back of head followed with rapid uppercuts .

Quite true.

But Cam remember... he's forgotten more than you know.

I am not talking about the boxing clinch...the grappling double arm

Since I started the thread, how about a few others doing the same....

I think he was sent by a rival forum in an attempt to drive us all to suicide.
