I'll say this, recently some guy who I trained in kickboxing with and who had been a bouncer for years and studied I don't know how many different martial arts - started to show me some different techniques for street defense. The thing is, I've been hearing about what crazy S*** this guy can do for a long time, and finally a couple of weeks ago I told him hey I know I'm not ready for the next level but I want to try anyway. So he starts showing me few things, little techniques that allow you to get out of being choked by someone 5x your size, how to evade this how to evade that, using palm strikes, what little openings you can look for as opposed to just brawling your way to safety, instructing me to grow out my thumb nail a little bit for eye gouging ect ect. Just spending one hour with this guy I knew he's the real deal. My view of fighting in the street changed completely. This stuff is so effecient and works on anyone of any size. Immediately it sunk in - ok this isn't a complete secret but it's a rare opportunity to learn about how weak the human body is.

So I went to a club where he was working last weekend and met one of the guys who had been training him for a while. Older guy, about 55 with a little bit of a gut - ok i'll say it he looked out of shape. Well we're all sitting by the bar, talking and a fight breaks out. 50 people are in front of us trying to kill each other, so naturally me and my friend take a step back. No need to get yourself into unecessary trouble right? Well this older fella calmly walks into all this madness and does the craziest F****** thing I've ever seen in my life. One by one he grabs a finger from those who are trying to brawl and snaps it - and actually tells them to stop fighting. Then he goes to the next person and snaps their finger and says stop fighting. At the edge of all this chaos were atleast 10 ppl on the ground holding their fingers cause some old fart had snapped it in two.

It made me realize yeah learning how to be a devistating striker can keep you safe but there's another level out there that few people have the opportunity to reach because the instruction is so hard to find. All I can say is, wow
