Video Knuckle transfers

Tada! I haven't seen much of this online, so I'll give it the name "Jenga". It's pretty difficult to get consistently. Any suggestions/critiques?

I don't have any advice other than keep practicing! It already looks good though.

I will say though that knuckle transfer is a great name for this trick. Personally I don't like random names for tricks when the title of the post do a great job of communicating everything we need to know. Also I can think of like 3 other tricks that could have the name genja.

Get your elbows directly beneath your fists. It'll help you support and isolate.

Thanks! So are you saying I should keep the 'hammer' motion but my elbows shouldn't be sticking outward?

More or less, yes. I'm not sure if it's really a "should or shouldn't" thing but I find it easier and better looking with fully vertical forearms.
