As you begin the right reverse punch, your right fist leaves your hip, angling upward toward the focal point. As your elbow reaches your side, rotate your fist counter clockwise to a position with your knuckles pointing upward (fig. ssss1).

The punch is now "focused" — there is one solid line of bone stretching from your knuckles to your right shoulder. (You should focus the blow in your first two knuckles — a smaller area of concentration increases the force of the blow.) Your shoulders should remain square and level.

You are now ready for a left reverse punch, which is thrown in the same manner as the right, while drawing your right fist back to your hip (fig. ssss1). Repeat the punches, right, left, right, etc., until you learn the motion.

In order to practice, have your partner shout "Punch!" Punch with your right hand, leaving it in the extended position until he shouts "Punch!" again. You then punch with your left, pulling your right fist back to your hip. These punches should be practiced for about five minutes.
