I think Lance will get a kick out of that one, especially the Chuck Norris quote.

believe it or don't I was taught some Wing Chun, which turned into Jeet Kune Do and the article has it right.....you don't do a classic block/then return routine, you do it simultaneously. (the art of the intercepting fist..)

I did use it one night in a pub by my house....big gronk got nasty and in my face and as he was swinging, I stepped into him and used an elbow block. Imagine grabbing your right wrist with your left hand and swinging full force with your right elbow, up and out quickly.

Anyways...I lucked out and connected very solidly with his chin and he went down complaining of a 'broben nobes' He was about 6 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier and if he hit me with one of those meathooks I probably would have been spitting out teeth.


and yes I want to learn the Krav Maga moves too....it's another bastardization of multiple disciplines....just like Master Bruce put together

If you're ever really stuck and some bastard is coming at you, just kick straight out and down at the knee...you don't have to turn your hips or raise your leg more than 2 feet up..

most people watch for punches and even if you do it wrong, you'll delay the attacker. Do it right and he'll be bent over or on the ground wincing in pain................

Or:

Chuck Norris is well known as a pro-gun advocate, and in response to a reporter’s ironic question, “If someone broke into your house, would you use your roundhouse kick?” he replied, “No, I’d use my 10 gauge.”

I didn't see the last entry on this list until I went back to read about Keysi....that was pretty funny

I had a nasty drunk fight (I was all over the place) and was intending to punch a guy across the bridge of the nose....I ended up smacking his throat and you're right

guy was like - wtf wtf??? you hit my windpipe!......like I crossed some horrible line in a parking lot fight
