The recoil is achieved by the body/hip pulling the strike back, not simply by bending the elbow and pulling the arm back.

As you pull the left hip back, shift the weight so that it is more evenly spread between your feet. At the same time, drive the right hip forward—pushing off from the ball of the right foot. As your right arm starts to pass your left arm, begin to extend it, making sure that you keep the elbow down. As it starts to close in on the target, rotate the fist so that the knuckles are up and the shoulder engages—just as with a lead straight punch, keep the shoulder down, seated in the socket. Just before your fist impacts into the target, clench it tightly.

Rear “Crashing” Elbow

To deliver a “crashing” elbow, recoil the right hand by pulling back the right hip. The hand and hip move together. The pull should be strong enough that you pivot on the left foot, as if you were throwing a lead hand punch. Once both hips have turned to face to the right and your weight is on your rear leg, unwind the hips towards your assailant, and start to transfer your weight forward (if your aggressor has moved back as a consequence of your punches, you may need to step forward to reach them—this movement can help you transfer weight forward). Make sure your head remains over your hips.
