Yep and to attack their forearm with your elbow as a block to anything thats comes in round works a treat but if you dont turn to face it, it will come around your elbow and clock you hard so it has to practiced and timed so you know when you can use it.

You wont hurt someones arm much with a glove unless you can trap their arm straight out with one of yours and attack under their arm with your other one r catch and turn your body weight into the outside of their arm thats not legal.

Thats why I recon a light tap on the way in for interruption of their movement and balance counts for allot more than a committed attack on their arm that will be countered.

Think ba bang/ interuption redistance smack. or tap ba bang interupption ,slip, smack. Its a bit like pulling someones foot a little further towards you with your lead foot hooked in behind theirs as they step forwards,its not legal, wont hurt them, but watch their arms go out.

Of course none of this stuff will work all the time. It works best when your both tired, end rounds or when they are schooling you and you cant get out of a rut. Then anything that disrupts the timing of the fight gives you an edge; if you know how to capitalize on it because you have been training it into your system.
