7 Best Elbow Strikes for Self Defense
คนไทยใช้หมัดเท้าเข่าศอก ในศึกสงครามป้องกันชาติบ้านเมืองมาแต่สมัยโบราณ และพัฒนามาเป็นกีฬาการต่อสู้ที่ดีที่สุดชนิดหนึ่งของโลก
I trust men with lisp when it comes to fighting…they been fighting all they lives like mike tyson.
Thank you for the instructions, awesome!
That turning elbow! LOOOOOL
That was the part of the elbow I was talking about. Even though I have long reach I like to move in to fight close. I can feel and intercept. I believe in attacking what is open and weak. Strike limbs clavicle: ext. In combat it’s not about fear it’s about Survival.
Do not underestimate how powerful your elbow strike is
Your training partner is how Patrick Stewart would have ended up had he trained in self-defence. Great video, by the way – THANKS!
เขาไม่ได้ฟันศอกให้มันเฉี่ยวหน้าผาก แต่เขาฟักโดยใช้ปลายศอกที่แหลมสุดเข้าเป้าหมาย ถึงทำให้หน้าแตก ถ้าคนฟันไม่ถูกวิธีโดยมากจะใช้ท่อนแขนฟันแทนศอก
One of my fav JJ guys does SD too! Awesome.
First of all, elbows strikes are fine technique. You'll never learn proper execution of elbows from watching vid clips. you need one on one training at legit gym, then watch clips to review what you've forgotten from training with your teacher. Incidentally, spear elbow strike#4 @5:53 is better, if you place palm on your forehead for support, and protect your jaw with your deltoid muscles.
Choosing between a cutting or smashing elbow is asking yourself for more precision than is available in a street fight. Not knocking this gent, just sharing my thinking.
Good tutorial synopsis on elbow strikes.
5:57 This Spearing elbow is weak because just vertical so should be horizon. It's strong like Chinese kunfu style elbow
There's no best. It depends on a lot of factors.
yeah but what if your opponent is taller than you?
Should mention to keep your hand open (not making a fist) and the hand tucked (flexing bicep) to make the surface as hard as possible. And don't forget the lawnmower elbow Anderson Silva famously used
5:50 spearing elbows to the neck should probably be illegal in MMA before people learn about it.
Clubbing elbows are AMAZING against top of hand and wrist and also the THICK parts of peoples muscle. Getting clubbed full power right on your popeye muscle makes your arm feel like 50% power sometimes. IN ground grappling I love to just rest on top of opponent stomach with an elbow and REALLY dig my 250 lbs into them in and force them to have to push my shoulders or try to shove my elbow off them so I now have free strikes open or crawl up them.
Alot of people scratch with t heir elbow instead of using it like an antler or a bullhorn.
Alot of these elbows become AMAZING with the right footwork. Suddenly you are turning your elbow into an antler with 200+ real lbs floating behind it. When you can learn to STEP and SPIN at the same time instead of just SPIN they become insanely powerful and thundering.
