Hey, don't knock this highly useful technique for fighting off a bunch of rabid six year olds!

I know firsthand that spearhand tickling is effective against my son ... this stuff works!

Oh, I have t3h absolute best antigrapple you've ever heard of. If a grappler is grabbing you by the shoulders (not trying any takedowns or anything, grapplers automatically go for the shoulders), then you completley swing around, grab his ankle and pull up to your chest, effectivley pulling them to the ground. Now I know this works sometimes (it worked for Bas once), but it gets better. With their leg in your grasp, you do nothing foolish like a kneebar or anklelock. No, you sit down on them, lean back, and elbow them in the face. Let me elaborate. You sit back (give them your back, inside their guard), lean back (stretch yourself out), and elbow them in the face (slide your neck beside their arm), T3h TKD antigrapple.

You ankle pick them and give up your back?

Sounds like your sensai is a whole heap of ****. In fact he is probably a conartist.

#1 -> against a knife stab, you catch the hand, so that the knife stabs your palm i in the middle, than you just beat them, while still holding the fist of the attacker (yea, the knife stuck in your palm) :adora:
#2 -> again a knife stab - sidestep and (his hand proned, just standing there) a scissor-like strike with your both forarms hitting his wrist ... saw this on a Ju Jutsu brown belt exam, on the third strike the defender screamed "let go the knife, damn it" and the attacker droped it even before the 4th strike :5shocking awesom ...
#3 -> against any knifer - just double-leg him and then go for the armed hand ...

I fucking love this. Take the knife through the hand like a real man and beat the **** out of the guy before pulling the knife out and walking away. If I could do that, I'd probably be the one starting the fights.

half-fist punch...you curl the upper half of your fingers...but you don't bring the fingers all the way in to make a real fist.

Hmmm...some gems from my Shorin Ryu days:

1. Nukite. Fingers are great for lots of stuff striking not being one of those.
2. "Drunken" techniques. Why would I want to fall face forward towards an opponent with my hands at my sides so that I can shuto his ass in the testicles? I wouldn't.
3. The X block. Not too common in Shorin Ryu, but one in particular in a kata where you kneel and X block a mae geri type kick. I guess the sheer fact that you attemped such a stupid defense would cause your attacker to be mezmerized giving you enough time to stand back up, dust yourself off, take time for a latte and then chi blast that fucker back to the third grade.

Or you could do the smart thing and just walk around with a knife already through your fucking hand. It could be useful in preventing fights.

Drunk: You want to start something, Bitch?

You: *silently raise up bloody hand with knife stuck through the center*

Drunk: Nevermind. Can I buy you a drink instead, sir?
