How do you throw you uppercuts?

[Kickzilla]

A recent(ish) thread by Sinister on the lead hand uppercut illuminated some things for me.

A little different from how I was taught the uppercut in general (sit down rotate the torso and shoot it).

Wonder what other variations on it exist.

Also curious what people deem the fundamental combos involving uppercuts.

Not really. Mine's pretty basic. Weight the front and arc it up. I might dip the shoulder if its done off an evasion.

Lmao I should've seen that coming -_-

More pertinent question would be how you set it up!

i bend my knees a bit more and lower my lead hand below the knees. then i spring up, using my legs to drive the power of the punch as a rise upward to the sky screaming "SHORYUKEN!"...

If you connect, your opponent is as good as done. Don't even bother with a 10-count... If you miss... well just don't miss... for your sake...

I never miss...

How do I throw uppercuts?

In theory, with an upward and outward arc of the arm, transferring weight from one side to the other with a slight upward push and good body twist.

In practice, poorly.
