It is a striking technique where the edge of the elbow is used to deliver a powerful blow, usually at a downward angle of approximately 45 degrees, with the opposite hand (palm) striking the edge of the elbow for added force. The Elbow Smash can be used in close-range combat and is known for its effectiveness in delivering devastating strikes to an opponent's body, particularly to vulnerable areas such as the ribs, solar plexus, or jaw. It is a versatile and powerful technique that requires proper execution and control to be effective in combat situations. In Choy Li Fut Kung Fu, Bao-jang is one of the many hand techniques used for offensive and defensive purposes, and it is often trained through repeated practice, conditioning, and sparring drills to develop skill and proficiency in its application.
