After I noticed people failed to understand my previous thread's first intention I had to start a thread dedicated solely to this subject. Braking your opponent's arms with your own arms / elbows : Which fighters were the best at it ? how often did they do it ? is it legal ? I know of 3 ways of achieving it : (1) by punching precisely with the elbow / arm on a weak spot on the opponents' arm , probably the hardest way to achieve it but this interests me the most (2) by defending with your arms and elbows (or even head) and hoping your opponent will hit you wrongly and break his arm (3) By wrestling technique which currently interest me the least out of these 3
But it prevents its user from countering and leading in time. No wonder it passed from the world , not that it was common in the past . And I don't think it is more effective in breaking the aggressor's arms than the usual guards / defensive maneuvers . Were Archie Moore , Ken Norton and old George Foreman known for breaking their opponents' arms ? no . Why ? because it was not more effective at it. Who were the boxers whom their opponents suffered arm injuries the most ?
You do know its illegal unless by a punch? Foreman broke an opponents arm with a punch. The best way to break an arm is the third method, the other ways are pretty unreliable
Only the third way may be illegal . The first you just stated is legal and the second is merely a relatively passive method which can not be blamed upon the defender but I want to know how to make it less passive and more reliable . Actually there can be cases in which there is a combination of the first and the second ways.
