An '''Elbow Strike''' is any strike made with the elbow. Sometimes (such as in [[Taegeuk Oh Jang]]) it is performed with an assisting hand: the off-hand palm pushes on the fist of the elbowing arm, to provide the elbow strike with additional power.

An Elbow Strike is any strike made with the elbow.
