Buddha Boy in Gi Doing Elbow Break

In everyday orstralian parlance, “giving someone the elbow” means ridding yourself of unwanted company, or getting rid of nuisance. I daresay that quite a few of us have been given the elbow in one form or another. To most Martial Artists, however this innocent phrase has other connotations!

The elbow is classified as a ‘Secondary Natural Weapon’ in Bac Fu Do Kung Fu- the extremities such as the hand and foot are ‘Primary Weapons’,the knees, forearms, shins and elbows are ‘Secondary’ ones and the hips, shoulders, teeth and head are ‘Tertiary’ ones. Primary weapons are meant to be used at longer range than Secondary ones, and they at a greater range than Tertiary weapons.

The elbow is one of the most important Secondary weapons in our arsenal, because of its value in delivering knockout power at close quarters.
