5 Common Elbow Strike Mistakes: How to Cut Your Opponent

This tutorial explains 5 common mistakes when throwing the Muay Thai elbow strike, and how to properly cut your opponent in a fight. Though it's short-ranged, the elbow is extremely sharp and can easily draw blood -- so make sure you're throwing them correctly!

You mean I can't just stick my elbows out like I'm doing the chicken dance and start spinning to become an invincible cyclone of elbow strikes?

[HNXMedia]

A perfect elbow should NEVER be seen coming!

I don't have money to go get actual muay thai lessons or any fighting style of the kind. Your videos replace that and i just want to say thank you. Your fight tips are like straight to the point and i love that. I wanted to come to your 1 mil party but i live in the UK. You deserve your 1 mil Shane!

1. Just the tip (that's what she said)
2. Being too far for effective footwork
3. You let your guard down to throw a strike
4. Don't get fancy, it's a spear like strike, not a ballroom dance. Unless you are very well trained
5. No angle, you'll hit their defense or miss a good shot if you throw randomly

Good video. I agree that these are things I notice when I practice

I gotta say, this is one of my favorite youtube channels ever. You know what you are talking about and you know how to explain these things even to people who don´t know anything about them. Keep up the good work man!

Once when my local police force visited my high school to talk about careers, one of the police sergeants said that she once "sliced open" an attacker's throat clean using her elbow, with many of her colleagues confirming her story. She always said that using your elbow is a great way to confuse and do very high damage to attackers if done correctly. I miss that cop lady, she had bad-ass written all over her XD.
