Chops

Steven Ragatz - 18th October, 2000.

Doing chops on one side is the same as doing an under the arm throw with the other side. The only thing that makes it look like a chop is the action of emphasizing the downward movement of the hand.

A good step to learning chops is to be able to do continuous under the arm throws with both sides separately. Once you get some control with each hand, try doing them together. When you try to do both hands together, you will start to "see" the chop action.
