Abdominal Strike (sit-up strikes)


From the FUNDAMENTALS OF MARINE CORPS MARTIAL ARTS

 

Comes this interesting abdominal striking drill. In my opinion this could be a form of Kokite-ti.

 

l. Abdominal Strike (sit-up strikes). 

Partners will assume a sit-up positions with the feet interlocked. On the first count they sit-up and each strikes the others stomach with the right hand followed by a left hand strike. They then return to the down position which completes one repetition. The strikes should be centered between the navel and xiphoid. Avoid striking the ribs, below the navel or sternum and do not hyperextend the arm while punching. Begin at a slow speed and power

and increase as proficiency and toughness develop. Some soreness will be experienced initially. Begin by alternating with 10 repetitions to each arm.
