re: If you haven't seen the "Useless Martial Arts" videos, you owe it to yourself

I worked with a guy who was a Filipino guy who taught self defense to to high level students (police, ex military, martial arts, etc) and while it wouldn’t teach you how to go on the offensive, that was by far the most effective fighting style I saw.

He always said when his opponent throws a punch is his favorite. Dude tries to punch from distance, leaving the arm out in space. He’d just grab it, pull it towards his center of gravity, and either break the fingers if possible or reverse to destroy the elbow joint

I joked around with him before in a couple of May rooms and it was pretty amazing. The moment a limb left my body, he took it, took control of it, and rendered me useless.
