- Primary study focus
- The near fist, receding forearm and advancing shoulder as one connected chain above staggered foot contacts.
- 30-second exercise
- Place the two foot contacts and the near fist as three simple masses. Connect the fist to the shoulder with one arm direction.
- 2-minute exercise
- Compare the near fist with the far hand, then trace the visible wrist, elbow and shoulder overlaps. Add the ribcage and pelvis without inventing the hidden elbow contour.
- Reference limitation
- The arm is partly foreshortened. Study visible overlaps rather than treating the image as verified punching instruction.
