If you do not raise your elbow to shoulder level, you will probably hit your assailant’s arm before you hit his jaw, reducing the effectiveness of the strike (see Fig. 63).
The Uppercut
After teaching this powerful strike to law enforcement personnel for over sixteen years, I’ve found that you get the best results if you throw it from the strong (or gun) side (see Fig. 64).
The Palm Heel Uppercut
Starting from the self-defense boxing stance, quickly rotate your waist forward. Let the heel of your palm strike your suspect while it moves upward. Your palm should be facing up, with your fingers pointing away from your body (see Figs. 65 and 66).
As with other strikes where the impact is created by the heel of the palm, you need to pay special attention to the positions of your fingers. Make sure that your fingers are pointing to the side of your body—away from the suspect. If your fingers point toward the suspect, you run the risk of striking the suspect with your outstretched fingers before the heel of your palm hits (see Fig. 67). This could both injure your fingers and lessen the effect of the strike.
