Keeping the elbow down

[Scrap]

Try this its a good way of correcting, notice before and after, its all down to feel

Scrap I can see on the second part of the video he has some kind of resistance band around him, is it from his hands under his arms around his back to his other hand? Would like to try this myself.

It is, and works.

I've always thought that raising the elbow does two things: breaks the line of the body as it rotates into the punch, and tips off your opponent. Raising the elbow to throw a straight right looks like 'aiming' the punch- you can see it coming.

So the band goes around the wrist and around the ribs on the inside of each arm? Not around the elbow, correct?

And what around hooks with the bands, or is it for mostly straight shots?

Sorry, how to see in the video.

It goes round the thumb, thats the secret of why it works

I think there is a fine between between keeping the elbow tucked in nicely for protection, and getting it up in the air enough for proper rotation on a cross. I see a lot of crosses that look like baseball throws because of it being too low on the follow through. It's an ugly thing to witness, kinda looks like the flight of a wounded bird. And then on the other hand, is the high elbow punches, which though not quite as ugly to witness, is an invitation to getting your liver smashed in.
