Snap-Twist
The snapping and twisting of the hand into a hand attack or block.
- A microsecond before a hand technique reached its point of focus, the arm quickly twists the hand from its chambered position into its striking position.
- This applies all the power in the muscles of the arm to the technique and tenses the arm for the impact.
Hip Snap
The snapping and twisting of the hips into a hand or foot attack.
- Hips are chambered and then they snap over a microsecond before a technique reaches its point of focus.
- This applies body mass to the technique to help it achieve maximum power.
