The Rear Elbow Strike (palkup dwit chigi) is an Elbow Strike in which the elbow strikes to the rear.

  • In WTF-style, the hand of the striking arm is held open, palm-up.
  • In ITF-style, the hand of the striking arm is held as a fist.

The eyes look to the rear, over the shoulder at the target. The arm should be tightly bent and the hand held close to the torso.

The Rear Elbow Strike appears, for example, in the forms Hwa-Rang and Palgwae Pal Jang.
