Why does amateur mma ban elbows instead of just putting something soft on them like amateur muay thai?

Makes grappling more awkward. Whether they say it or not, that's also why they use shin pads. Anything but a vanilla knee bar can get funky, so less people hobbling each other.

Might as well get them used to all the UFC rules in place to protect grapplers from getting instantly heemed

Your guess is as good as mine, but there is probabaly some uppity concerned citizens or something. Almost every time odd overprotective rules are put in place here its cause some politician with a stick up his ass made a fuss.

the guy who banned elbows saw a demonstration where a guy crushed cinder blocks with an elbow strike
of course the cinder blocks werent REAL cinder blocks\were weakened, etc
but he thought elbows were super scary and thus he banned it
>maybe this is an urban legend tho

watch second ufc where black guy destroys ninja ginger's face with elbow strikes and ends his ninja career. I forget their names but you can easily look it up with the description I gave.
