Gotta love throwing elbows! dangerous strikes especially in self defense close quarters
Perfect to do in the wrestling range ;)
The elbow does much more damage, when im using my kick bag majority of my striking is using the elbow, especially when im doing limb destructions on my dummies arms.
The versatility of the up-elbow is amazing! It can be a strike, it can be a block, it can be a anti-clinch tecnic... all in one simple move :)
Easy to mess it up but so satisfying to get it right
When i was doing wing chun kung fu i always loved and favored using the elbows for striking..
Wing Chun has some good elbows, gotta say.
Elbows, knees and roundhouse kicks are my favorite strikes!
They are among the best!
Elbows and Knees are mine
Good video. Elbows are underrated. Good luck with your channel.
Thank you so much!
I remember Urijah Faber used all elbows in a fight due to him hurting his hands. I believe the outcome was a success.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Thank you! Great insights
I like that band idea on the bag. I will try that elbow, while pulling the opponents arm. I learned in kajukenbo- and I will try to explain.. (similar to the back elbow), with your other arm you use your open hand to push the elbow by gripping the elbows arm fist. I hope, I provided a good description? Im a big fan brother. Ohana!
You can definitely use the other hand as a pushing hand, but I’m not a big fan of the method since it presupposes that your single arm is somehow unable to to move without being pushed by the other.
Not saying you don’t get power out of it, but you don’t get so much more that it justifies making a one armed strike suddenly a two on strike.
Generally, my philosophy is “the least amount of effort for the maximum amount of return,” in this case you can get roughly the same efficiency from the single elbow strike that you can from the “pushed” elbow strike.
@@CombatSelfDefense I agree. The only time I use it is a spinning attack. Like all spinning attacks i like setting it up with a nice jab. And man it gives extra power. But yeah the other hand is barely blocking,, but if you feel you can pull it off... then Go for Broke. Thanks for the detailed response!
I’m interested to know your thoughts - do you think the extra power comes from pushing on that spinning elbow, or does it come from the combination of the spin and the extra loosening of your shoulder to allow for greater range of motion?
@@CombatSelfDefense I like all elbow strikes, and all strikes. I dont want viewers to think this is the only elbow to do. I went to my garage right now and outside. On different surfaces barefoot and with shoes ( seriously- lol). With and without the bag. I did regular spinning elbows and push elbows: Spinning attacks are strong already- Rob you make a good observation, the push forces the shoulder to assist with the extra range of motion. (This move may work like a thrust elbow to create space). I believe the opponent will be forced back and lose footing. The answer is the push allows the shoulder to assist with extra range and the spin assists with more momentum. I will ask my Senior at the dojo for his input. Lol Thanks for the question it made me analyze more the move. And by accident I performed another variation with a slide/leap... Sorry everyone for writing a long comment.
excellent stuff! Thank you
Great stuff
Excellent work
Thank you!
thanks for the pointers
Thank you for watching!
Can conditioning help not messing up my fists, arms or elbows? And how can I do it safely?
I would say not necessarily conditioning, but more like desensitization.
The time it takes you to build up callouses and harden the bones is longer than the time it takes you to ignore the pain from slamming a tiny part of your body into another object.
So step one before “conditioning,” is learning to throw proper punches/elbows/whatever. Make sure the form is correct so that your skeletal structure isn’t compromised.
After that the goal is to use that correct form across a wide range of training methods to teach your brain to ignore the pain of impact. So practice punching a heavy bag full power with gloves on, then at a slow and restrained power without gloves on, rinse and repeat until success.
@@CombatSelfDefense thank you so much, I will start with that, and slowly learn to ignore the pain and finally condition enough. I will start with kyokushin soon, and your tips are amazing :D
Thank you. Good luck with your training. Remember, it’s a journey, not a destination, so a 1% improvement every day is all you need.
Does being short make it harder for your opponents to attack you?
Being shorter makes everything except avoiding overhead obstacles more difficult.
The real tough part is not beating up the taller guys who kick like they’re trying to pee on a fire hydrant.
