Why It's Effective:
Close Range Power: Elbows are one of the most powerful strikes you can use in close quarters. The short distance they travel allows for a lot of force to be generated, making them ideal for confined spaces like jail cells or crowded environments.
Target Vulnerability: The back of the head is a vulnerable area. Striking here can disorient or incapacitate an opponent quickly because it targets the cerebellum and brainstem, which control balance and motor functions.
Surprise Element: In the chaos of a fight, especially in a jail setting where fights can break out suddenly, an elbow to the back of the head can catch an opponent off guard, ending the confrontation swiftly.
How It's Done:
Positioning: This strike is usually executed when you're behind your opponent or in a clinch. It can also be delivered if you’re turning away from an opponent and they’re closing in from behind.
Execution: Use your core and hips to generate force. Swing your elbow back and down in a swift motion, aiming for the back of the opponent’s head or upper neck. The strike should be quick, precise, and powerful.
Follow Through: After delivering the elbow, be ready to continue with other strikes or moves if necessary. Maintain awareness of your surroundings, as fights in such environments can escalate quickly.
Risks and Legal Considerations:
Injury Risk: The back of the head is a sensitive area, and striking it can cause severe injury, including concussions, brain damage, or even fatal outcomes. It’s a high-risk move that should only be used in life-threatening situations where you have no other option.
Legal Consequences: In many jurisdictions, strikes to the back of the head are illegal in sports like MMA due to the potential for serious injury. In a jail or self-defense situation, using such a move can lead to significant legal repercussions, including charges of excessive force or assault.
Moral and Ethical Considerations: While self-defense is important, using such a potentially lethal strike must be carefully considered. It should only be used if you genuinely fear for your life or safety, and there's no other way to defend yourself.
Conclusion:
An elbow to the back of the head is a powerful but risky technique. While it can effectively neutralize a threat in a jail fight, it comes with serious ethical, legal, and safety concerns. It's essential to weigh these factors carefully and consider less dangerous alternatives when possible.
