"It makes no sense that 12-6 elbows are banned"

please stop describing a moment of impact with units that measure pressure.

If I place my hand on your chest and push you can measure the pressure. Pounds per Square inch is a good explaination of what is happening here.

But those units have nothing to do with me taking my fist or a point head stick and thrusting it into your abdomen.

Velocity and Mass matter.

I understand you are throwing a guesstimation at it but think a little. You are implying the shin lands over a 2" x 24" area. That doesn't seem possible. Perhaps 2" x 4" or 8 " sq.

I'm also going to imagine most people can kick much harder than they punch.

Force= mass. acceleration
However what should be measured here is kinetic energy.
KE= 1/2 MV^2

Then you can distribute that number over area to get an idea of what kind of damage the strike can cause.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? ;)

Mass and change in velocity give the force. Force divided by area is pressure.

Banging my head against the wall... what kind of pressure is that?

F=MA (kg m/ sec^2)

what happens to the seconds in your equation?
 
Before Jon Jones DQ: 12-6 elbows illegal. Sure, yep.

After Jones DQ: THEY SHOULD BE LEGAL
