Continuing in the vein of the knee lifts in the last session, we often use the forearms to 'cut' through the torso of our training partner. This movement is very powerful and usually causes the training partner to turn away from us, giving us easy entry from the side or rear positions. Also being closer to our own body, most people can more easily feel the ability to deliver their full weight into this kind of strike. Using knees and elbows, along with grabs, pushes, and pulls, starts to give us the ability to 'maul' our opponent. Basically it boils down to controlling their core, balance, and positons. Part of the controlling comes from being able to access our power in the form of body weight, physical strength, angle and position of delivery, and similar skills.
