I'm tall and skinny and have boney elbows. I've always used them for that very reason,my hands are boney also and tend to get damaged. But, those big knobby elbows are like a weapon. That's why I use open hand strikes.
I have been training martial arts for many years and can still appreciate learning the nuances of a technique. One critique: your camera is too close. Being able to see your foot work would be beneficial.
Your comment means the world to me! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the emphasis on footwork and the option to escalate or escape. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel!
Mr. Norman I really enjoyed this video! I have been studying a few self-defense systems for awhile and I just ran across your channel. I'm always looking to perfect and learn more simple ways of protecting myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 👍
Excellent video Mr Norman. I really like your self defense techniques, very simple but devastating for sure, I'm learning a lot with your instructions, thank you !!!
Hey there! I'm glad you're enjoying my self-defense techniques. Just remember, if you ever have to use them, make sure to yell "Bam!" for maximum effect!
Thank you for your amazing comment! It means a lot to me that you think of me as a Shakespeare of fight techniques. Your support keeps me motivated to create more awesome content for you all. Stay tuned for more!
Hey, thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment! It's awesome that you noticed the similarity between my spear elbow and the "supported elbow frame" by Sifu Joseph Simmonet. Keep watching for more cool stuff!
Hey, thanks for checking out my video! I'm glad you liked the elbow strikes. The Alto Shuffle style in Atlanta sounds cool, I need to check it out sometime. Keep watching and stay tuned for more awesome content!

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your kind words about the advice and techniques in the video. I'll definitely take note of your suggestion to improve the lighting for future videos.
I've boxed for many years & boxed in the military while serving 20yrs active, you can seriously hurt your fist with an elbow but no they can't break your elbow. the elbow is really tough, I wouldn't start with elbows because you have to be really close
Thanks for watching my channel. No, punches will not break your elbow. The bones in the hand are more fragile and smaller than the larger and harder elbow.
Very good question sir. If the arm is extended.... the right kind of punch to the elbow can cause long term debilitating resonance; not to mention a broken.... or permanently crippled arm. ♠️THE VANITY ADDICT♠️
Thank you for the valuable content. If i may and with the greatest respect, the technique is wrong. Although the strike is powerful, i can see that there is no structure behind. This may put the subject in great danger, especially if facing somebody with martial art experience.
I respectfully disagree. These movements are not for sport. In the street what makes any technique/movement effective is preemption. Self-defense is not pretty. You can have perfect form and many years of training. However, if I go first attacking your vision, breathing, and mobility with constant forward pressure...you lose. Many variables influence the delivery of a strike. Having studied the martial sciences for 58 years, it has been my experience that people with martial arts experience don't fight in the street.

Dude, that's awesome! Your elbows are like your own personal weapons. Keep rocking those open hand strikes and show everyone what you're made of!

Elbows are an extremely strong weapon to use when it comes to defending your life.. but be quick and precise. 😊
You are absolutely right. Maximum damage to the attacker. Stay safe.

If a man punches your elbow can they break your elbow. ? Thank you for your videos.

Elbows are great until you get a chronic injury, then they become something you can never do and have to think again 😂
I understand. As I got older, 71 years old, I had to modify my movements. You can use edge of hand and chin jabs instead of elbows in close quarters.
Or switch elbows..lol
