Do you ever use tips of elbows to rake and cut the face?
Or drop the whole body weight with a head butt.
Devastating stuff.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your question and comments.

We strive to terminate the fight with each and every strike. In the process of striking an opponent with our elbow they may get cut from our elbow but ending the fight is our primary intention.

We almost always drop or move with our whole body weight when we head butt. The head butt is driven from our body and never from our neck.

Keep up the good training and thanks again for the questions and comments.
