Karate- Elbow Technique

Most karate practitioners don't practice elbow techniques. However is good to remember it's one of the best technique to apply in a short distance.
Here is one example of drill and combination.

Thank you Sensei.
I always work elbow and knee in my training.
This will be a nice combo to add to it 😊

Great techique! The enpi also allows your chin to be protected by your shoulder, and your other hand naturally protects the other side of the chin. Can you show the use of enpi for a counter to a right handed swinging hook, which is what most people attack with on the street? Greetings from a JKA karateka in Scotland.

Great, my favourite martial art and super effective in mma, I wish there are more schools in world based on functional karate, so much time wasted on I would not say uneffective, but too complicated stuff, this is good approach, It simplifies KARATE. I wish I trained, I am mostly self taught, can do bunch of tricks and crazy kicks but I would get my ass kicked in second by any machida student. Does your academy have ranking system sensei Machida ?

[@PLSCORPION227]

very nice techniques sensei Chinzo, osu!

this is one reason I don't like the rules of Karate Combat, even they limit the techniques to mainly punching and kicking, they need to open up the rule book, Elbows, Knees. Chokes (standing,) allow 20 second control time .... allow 20 after a takedown takedown to work these same techniques, along with joint locks .... Real Karate is a complete self defense system and the rules of competition in a full contact league such as Karate combat need to reflect that (thus they should be modified imo) , similar (but not the same) to Combat Sambo OSS / OSSU

Hi Nicholas, thank you for your comment. Maybe they want to preserve more the fighters physical integrity in order elbow is so nasty
