I think that effectively ends the debate.

As fine a 7th post as you are likely to see.

Wait, wait, I don't understand what kind of elbows are allowed and what aren't
I know you can't spike the top of the head...but can you do a hitting elbow, where you fold your forearm in and have the end of the elbow come down vertically?

throwing a forearm elbow is the side of the elbow not the tip
