Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Approach your opponent from a grapple position

2. Extend your arm and aim with the fleshy part of the inner forearm

3. Make contact with a controlled swing across the chest or upper back

4. Pull back slightly at the moment of impact to protect your opponent

5. Stomp your foot simultaneously to create the impact sound

6. Follow through enough to be believable but safely

7. The receiver should sell the impact with a snap of the head
