Why we slap the elbows in solo martial arts practice and katas

[@saburwolf2792]

I definitely get what you're saying about slapping your elbows. Does it also increase blood flow in your arms?. Cuz i know the FMA Panatukan, they do that when they practice.

It's also for conditioning, to toughen up your arms and your palms as well. I've done quite a bit of Panantukan by the way, as well as Silat and Kali.

@@SabeelCombatives Hmm, very interesting. So it does increase blood flow in the arms when you slap.
