    One of the most under-rated moves imo, so helpful in close quarters and can even deliver a harder hitting blow than hands from less distance. Plus the bonus, its a great way to avoid breaking your hand in an awkward strike but you gotta learn distance over again. Its for fighting in a "phone booth" and doesnt have the keep at bay ability / reach of punches. Love your vids, they seem to always hit a good nail on the head even when it was one I might've not known was sticking out! Keep doing what you do 🙏 Ending round out is great, prefect pointer on how but also the why's in some pools of thought. Dont get caught up looking for style points in a street fight peeps. Go where it can hurt them most, opens you up the least and has the fastest transition to another advantageous position or exit 👍

    @@Selfdefensegoat Might be a worthy follow up to do "locked-in" versus not on lateral elbows like 3 to 9's or 9 to 3's from left. A friend of mine used to repeatedly drill to lock under the arm pit with your hand so you create a no-budge zone for the follow through on those. Always wondered if it was worth the effort. It feels like it hits harder and hurts less on the rebound but idk if its just the mind playing tricks on me. Basically clenched fist method or "chicken wing" style with your thumb resting below your armpit, behind your peck with knuckles facing your opponent/target not smashed into the armpit. Not locking in is easier to flow into and out but I dont want to hit someone more than I have to if its actually worth it to take the extra step. It does seem like open is better for "cutting" blows while locked is for pure force transfer?

    @@xXScissorHandsXx I use those elbows when I throw a Wing Chun style elbow. I’d have to measure the force difference somehow. Thanks for the thoughts .

    Buddy when someone's violently attacking you to do you harm I don't think your immediate concern should be about them unfriending you for using an elbow strike sorry. )) And no elbows won't make killing of someone, least not anymore than any other strike could. More often they're used more as a tool to cut the opponents face above the eyes actaully, so as to cause it to bleed alot and get blood in their eyes to obscure their vision (and freak them out if not experienced) Even knock-outs are alot more common from fists/punches then elbows
