The Elbow Block (エルボー・ブロック, Erubō Burokku) is a block using the elbow, the sharpest joint on the human body.
Usage[]
Damaged elbow due to overuse of the Elbow Block.
The user raises and bends either their left or right arm to block an incoming punch with their elbow, reversing the impact of the punch to the offender's fist. It is effective against body blows[1] and body blow related techniques such as the Heart Break Shot.[2] The more power the attacker uses against the block, the more likely the attacker's fist will break, and it can break through to the wrist.[3] A drawback of the block is that if the attacker is able to repeatedly strike at the elbow, it can disable the blockers arm that was used for the block.[4]
