Why is the brachial stun not emphasized more in fighting like MMA or Muay Thai than strikes to the head and chin?

Cops are legally allowed to kill you so that's why they use this extremely dangerous strike. You'd be an absolute FAGGOT to do this in mma.

Gotta be the right circumstances
Glove makes it hard to do that also people that know how to fight don't leave their necks exposed

It's an unironic 'kill' move.

Attacks to vital areas are prohibited in most forms of mma. Just cause you haven'tt see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist & work.

When you punch someone do you aim for the chin or the arm?
So you admit there are vital areas you deliberately want to target
Interesting how mma fans will at the same time argue that knee stomps should be illegal because they're too damaging while also saying no moves are too damaging

MMA fans don’t want anything illegal, they want blood. Dana white who wants the UFC to remain in business wants knee stoops illegal.

because people have shoulders that blocks the hit, and if shoulders can be used to block strikes to the head then the coverage for the neck is even greater. Also, It probably requires a precision strike to a specific part of the neck with a specific amount of force, otherwise it does little damage, while any hits to the head deals proper damage.
its not very easy to aim for that part of the neck, but its not exactly illegal either. Necks are attacked in MMA, its called chokes. if you ever did bjj, you would know that choking mechanics arent as simple as they look. at least with chokes you have constant pressure and control of the neck, but now imagine trying to chop or kick a specific part of the neck and how difficult that would be. Youre more likely to miss and do 0 damage hitting the shoulders.

it’s very common to aim for the neck with kicks in both muay thai and mma, because the skull is harder

OP the real answer for what you don’t see it much is in this video. Do you see how much midget Mike is winding up his arm to do the brachial stun? He’s basically swinging it like a haymaker. You can pull that off on some idiot with his hands down but not anyone who actually knows how to fight

Why do people who don’t fight feel the intense need to talk about fighting?

Aren't the majority pro MMA fighter punches just haymakers but with better stability, power output and timing?

haymakers can work but that gif doesnt put into context the multiple rounds khabib has taken connors down from a slight level change and hand clearing, before ground n pounding him. That's why connor immediately looks down before getting socked, because if he gets taken down theres a good chance he would lose.

it's not THAT hard, it actually happens the most in cagefights because of the slimmer gloves. I think like a quarter of the knockouts we see from strikes to the head are actually glanced off of the carotid artery and lower neck.

It’s a sloppy overhand right, he threw it like that because as fights go on technique tends to breakdown. You shouldn’t be training to strike inefficiently
>BUT HE COULD HAVE
And I COULD potentially hit you by windmilling my arms in an autism tornado, doesn’t mean that’s a good technique to train.

No? And also that’s like saying
>aren’t the majority of punches haymakers without all the problems associated with haymakers

Just kidding, but if say boxing I'm mentally filtering all of your posts.

MMA to put it simply. I don’t know why you’d discount boxing though as if they’re not the best punchers in the game, just as bjj is best on the ground. When you minimize your focus you tend to be better at that specific thing.

Bad phrasing, when you narrow your focus you tend to be better at what you’re focusing on.
Forgive me, I’ve taken a lot of blows to the head.
