Well theres always a kick to the nuts, im not being funny a kick to the goonads will drop any man no matter how big he is, and it gives the victim time to run away or put the boot in and then run away. When fighting how many street fighters or just plain thugs do you see protecting their private parts. None. They're always protecting their pretty faces. A firm power Kick in the nuts preferably with steel cap boots will drop him!

And just to be picky and clarify - I am not training in or for a sport - what I'm taught is considered a martial art in the strictest sense of the phrase: a war art. It is taught that way by my instructor and that is certainly my approach to it

Okay so your doing it for reasons as in War art I don't understand but I'm presuming you want to learn how it was back then and all the discipline that comes with it? Fare enough.
