Ok the move today is called the Horizontal Elbow. I said last time that this is the easiest elbow move and very often used as elbow technique. How to do the move is to swing your hitting elbow parallel the floor at the shoulder level from right to left if you’re using your right elbow and from left to right in case you use the left elbow. Confused? Take a look at the clip.

This Horizontal Elbow is called in Thai “Sork Tad” so if you see this name anywhere, it is the same with Horizontal Elbow. Targets for this elbow technique are chin, jaw, brow bone, and temple.
