🥊 Technique Tuesday: Setting Up the Spin Elbow
The best techniques aren’t forced. They show up when you recognize the opening.
A spin elbow can be set up by drawing out a reaction, recognizing when your opponent overcommits, and using that moment to step across and spin into the opening.
When we slow it down on camera, there’s plenty of time to see what’s happening. In actual combat, it happens in a blip. That’s why repetition matters. Drill the combinations enough that when the opening appears, you don’t have to think about it. You just react.
