In every striking technique, regardless of which martial and whether it is with the hands, feet, knees or elbows, there are three different sources of momentum to consider.
1. Limb/Speed Momentum
2. Hip/Mass Momentum
3. Whole/Range Momentum
First Momentum - Limb/Speed Momentum: regarding the arm or leg itself that will deliver the blow. Its major contribution to the technique is speed.
Second Momentum - Hip/Mass Momentum: regarding the rotation of the hips whilst executing the striking technique. Its major contribution to the technique is mass.
Third Momentum - Whole/Range Momentum: regarding the movement of the entire body forward with a step or lunge as part of the technique. Its major contribution to the technique is range.
