I don't understand the negative comments here. Clearly it's a technical definition of how to "throw" an elbow. Keeping it tight and letting go compact to the body. Anyone who knows sports knows it's like shooting a basketball shot. Keeping the elbow in, making a T and releasing the ball. It's the same example here just flipped. this explanation probably lets you throw a more controlled elbow shot.
It almost looks like he's combining the horizontal and slazhing/verticle elbow. His overall technique isn't that bad really as the most important part is what part of the elbow your striking with. The angles used can vary depending on person and situation, within limit, as long as you strike with the tip of the elbow.
that was... just awful. Heres the real way how to do it:

he didnt even cover his face when he threw the elbow. that is an elementary beginner lesson. ALWAYS COVER YOUR FACE WHILE THROWING ELBOWS!

Wrong.seriously.
his wrists are supposed to be inverted further,to make the sharp point on the elbow jut out.
Even the guard is wrong

My sister throws better elbows ;), but that did look very effective if you were going for the nose or the cheekbone.
