## 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?
