If it's good and realistic fight scenes we're after, Louis L'amour's fist fighting scenes were always both convincingly written and fairly engaging.

There was a great fight scene about a third of the way through, where the hero and his opponent both started on their knees. The hero took a side mount very early, and then there were 15 blank pages where fuck-all happened.
Eventually, the bad-guy got gassed, did something silly, and the hero subbed him with an arm-bar. Sadly, it was all tangled in Gi, and the hero's back was in the way of the view, so we (the reader) didn't get to actually visualise it.
I tell you what though... it made for some really engaging and exciting mental imagery.

So, it's scenes like this that make me love the Dresden files:
Harry: "So, there's a new group of vampires in town."
Bob: "I see. And you're waiting for them to make their move, to see what their after?"
Harry: "Hell no. I'm going to break into their house and kill them in their sleep."

His kung-fu and grappling were the only things that actually won him fights, though.Last edited by Goa Tse; 9/04/2012 9:31pm, .

Book one down, not much but a passing mention or two of Aikido. ([email protected] "Aikido Trophies".) Into Book 2 and the bullshido is starting to work its way to the top of the sluice pit.

You had the chance to join us, my friend, but instead you have chosen the path of suffering.
DEATH TO THE FALSE MODERATORS! LET THE SUB FORUMS BURN!
Your move, brother.
