Flashy Martial Arts suck and here's why

As a British Police Officer I was trained in Aikido but always found that on a 'one on one' confrontation a good smack to the nose or chin 'when warranted' was always most effective

Lotsa truth in that... a hard rap on the beak takes the fight out of most people; hard to see well enough to hit when you can't keep those involuntary tears outta your eyes.

I wrestled a long time ago. Not the fake TV stuff, but legitimate roman wrestling.

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of guys go for the wrist - including my friend in the National Guard.

Him and I were fighting just for fun one time - and - as usual - at first he went for the wrist. He quickly learned I'm not the average punk.

I snapped the wrist and twisted, and got my wrist out. Then he got both wrists - so I brought my arms over the top and turned - giving him a good back chest kick.

Thanks my 2 bits. Learn how to get them off your wrist.

One of the very first things I learned, back in the day: how to break a wrist-hold.
