What Causes a Chicken Wing?

The lead elbow collapses and points outward through impact, causing flipping and weak contact.

The lead elbow bending outward rather than staying connected through the hitting zone.

Key frames to check:

  • P7 (post-impact) — is the lead elbow pointed down or flaring out?
  • P6 — is the left arm breaking down at impact?
