This may come as a shock to you, but if you use your elbow, which is halfway down your arm, you have half the reach and way less mobility. Elbows and forearms are good for certain occasions, with forearms being used sparingly as they do way less damage and leave you way more vulnerable. If someone tries to win a real fight only using elbows and forearms, not only will they get destroyed, but bystanders will perceive that person as a spastic mental retard.
