What if you introduced a different distance into the mix? Karate has a very effective forearm strike that does just that. Long is for punching and short is for using the elbows. If you know anything about these styles, you’ll know there are generally two fighting distances - long and short (when talking about hand strikes). Most MMA fighters’ styles are based on some mix of boxing, BJJ, wrestling, and Muay Thai.
