Horizontal Elbow | 00:00:00 | ||
The Horizontal Elbow strike is detailed out to show you the mechanics of powerful hitting. | |||
Upward Elbow | 00:04:00 | ||

Back Elbow | 00:02:00 | ||
The back elbow, is an elbow used when you want to strike backwards using the back portion of the elbow to inflict disrupt, stun, or damage an attacker. Watch the video to learn proper use, power development, and ideas on ways to practice. | |||
Downward Elbow | 00:04:00 | ||
This is sometimes used at times where there is not a lot of space to strike with the hand because perhaps the attacker is too close. However, you still need to defend yourself so sometimes this elbow comes in handy. | |||

The Palm Strike and more accurately the Palm Heel Strike is useful in places where you are afraid to hurt your fist or that the positions and space are more suited for this kind of strike.
