In the Back Elbow move, which action describes the process?

• A. The back elbow involves looking behind to see the target, spinning toward the target with one foot planted, and delivering a horizontal elbow.
• B. The back elbow involves a downward strike from above.
• C. The back elbow uses both fists.
• D. The back elbow is a knee strike.

Answer: (A)

The move relies on turning and delivering a quick, close-range elbow strike. You first check the target by looking behind you, then pivot toward it with one foot planted to stay balanced, and finally snap the elbow horizontally into the strike. This combination—visibility, stable rotation, and a horizontal elbow hit—embodies the back elbow. Why this fits best: it describes the actual mechanics—looking to locate the target, spinning toward it with a planted foot for stability, and delivering a horizontal elbow strike. The other options describe different actions: a downward strike from above isn’t the same plane or intent as a back elbow; using both fists ignores the elbow as the weapon; and a knee strike uses a different body part and motion.
