Yeah, I had a friend who trained in Kali, and I think that technique was called, defanging the snake? Not sure, quite awhile ago.

Had another friend when he sparred, and his opponent would try to throw a left to his body, my friend would try to drop his right elbow on his opponents fist or wrist area to cause damage.
