That is just ridiculous. Sitting in the guard of someone like the majority of the times that an elbow is thrown prevents you from hitting that hard. A punch can strike much harder than an elbow since you have more movement that allows you to build up speed and you can put your whole body behind it. Same with a high kick. Should we ban both of those. I mean you do see far more people get KO'd from punches and kicks than from an elbow. If the strike doesn't cause a KO I think it would be less likely to cause a serious head injury than one that does cause a KO.
