Wouldn't that be the same fixation, saying that it is not about the power of the elbows, and yet still just saying that if you put your elbow here or there relative to this or that and move it this way it is powerful or not in some way? Could we rather posit knee power? Toe power? Finger power? Knuckle power? Hip bone power? What is so conspicuous about the elbow here that you wish to grant it special status?
I don't know what you're trying to say... Maybe you should ask the heir apparent to shioda, inoue Sensei.

Draw strength from stillness. Learn to act without acting. And never underestimate a samurai cat.
