Using the elbow

This video shows effective use of using the elbow demonstrated by Geoff Thompson and Peter Consterdine. The elbow is typically used in a close range situation, and if executed properly is extremely powerful.

To use the elbow effectively on an attacker, you must first move out of the way from the attacker. Then use your hips and shoulder to deliver all the weight and power on the attacker. Towards the end of the video you see how powerful the elbow strike can be.



When using the elbow always remember to use your whole body weight by using your hips and shoulder when delivering the strike. This allows you to deliver maximum power to the attacker.
