I tried to search the articles on this, didn't see anything obvious, so I'll throw the question out there.
I'm a karate practitioner. One thing we teach religiously at our dojo is a good pullback - you project power into the striking fist with a good snap back in the opposite hand (along with some good hip rotation ).
Lately I've tried this with one arm swings as an experiment. Instead of having the off arm follow the bell, I reach forward with the off arm during the hike back, and pull it back as the bell swings up - essentially moving the off arm counter to the bell. It actually feels pretty good.
But, this seems to be outside of the generally described technique. I'd love to hear opinions on taking this approach, or if there's some article out there I missed.
I'd post a video, but I'm scared of youtube
