Self defense course handing out free stupidity?

This IS a practical joke, right???

"This does not work when a woman is 100 lbs "

Why does everyone assume that all women are pathetic little ectomorphs? Most women I know are around 5'8 for fuck's sake. Bloody stereotypes.

By the way, that move of swivelling the wrist does actually work. I've done it against my sensei. What's that phrase...oh yeah....fully resisting opponent. I'm around 5'7 and 8 and a half stone. He's about 5'11 and heavyset. Yeah, it's a ridiculous notion, but so is the earth being rammed by a huge asteroid, and it's happened before.

Just out of curiosity, how much do you weigh?

[Moleculo]

he told you Kungfoolss...

1 stone= 14 lbs.

Apparently the feminist lap dog lives with Xena Warrior Princess and her roving band of militant lesbian Amazons.

Most women I know are tops 120 lbs and 5'5-5'7ish if that. My mother is 5'1 and 108 lbs for christ sake. I'm not referring to the beached whales that have developed legs from their extra fat or the occasional battle axe wielding she-beast.

Edit: Your Sensei isn't going to grab you and punch you in the face while trying to slam you into the pavement and take your manpurse. An assailant most likely will.

I just fucking told you, I'm eight and a half stone. That's 119lbs, but I'm only 14 years old.

"he told you Kungfoolss...

Dunno what the fuck you're on about with that last, but I'm a SHE, not a HE. Or I wouldn't be called Trinity, I'd be Neo.

Oh, and Akira Musashi? Ass kicking does not equal lesbian. Sunshine Fettkether has a husband for fuck's sake.

There are no girls on the internet unless they have a webcam, everyone knows that.

Until I see your webcam, you are a dude.

This post has been brought to you by the word "fuck" and the phrase "I want to be a grown-up, I do, I do!"

I guess it comes down to wether you think the person's going to shoot you or not. If they're going to shoot you, you might as well go for the disarm. If you can pacify them, you should.

Running's kind of like abstinence - it works, but some people have a problem with it. . .

Hey, nice one Feedback. If you cite my age, you can safely ignore any painfully valid points I make.

[Moleculo]

Does that mean that Feedback is not allowed to address you as "Trin"?

Okay, Trinity. The first serious martial art I studied was JJJ, and guess what? The first move I learned was a wristlock, kotegaeshi.


Yes, wristlocks work once you have already succeeded in bending the guy's wrist 90 degrees, and then applying enough rotation to lock the joint.

But the whole, entire problem is that getting that to work on a skilled opponent who is actively defending is very difficult. It's definitely one of those moves that is tricky to get.

Furthermore, since it's a small joint manipulation it's less likely to be incapacitating than a major joint manipulation. You might break the man's wrist but he might keep elbowing you.

So, yes...they work once you've got everything biomechanically in position. The big problem is that it's relatively hard to get everything biomechanically in position, and once you do breaking the wrist (the best possible outcome) dosen't guarantee that you will have defeated your opponent.
