Brutal abuse of power by bad police.. The good ones need to stand up to their evil brethren..

I wish you would get into greater detail about that subject in a You Tube movie for us to view. I assume you are refering to either the side of your hand & or the finger bones under the knuckle? Got any advise or feedback please lt me know. Thank you, Kevin Rix. You talk about not hitting with your knuckles.

I'm a 16 year old girl who weighs 106 lbs, and Im in the Martial Arts club in my school with 30 guys who weigh 200-300 lbs each and I can still put up a fight. Within a few weeks, I was named President of the club due to my enthusiastic spirit and the fact that I never back down even though I'm less than half their size. Just recently I fought the teacher and won, so if you want to learn a martial art that will give you an equal advantage, Jiu Jitsu is it. Hey

As you said in the video, in a self defense situation you don't need to win, you "only" need to survive. Always run when possible/practical. To even be able to clinch someone as a novice, while he/she is punching you and have control over the clinch is a challenge in itself. I think that the choke defense is more accurate, but very basic. To be able to break(?) someones grip is hard. If you want to learn self defense I personally think Krav Maga or Defendo is the way to go, but I don't know about the quality of the training in the US. I've heard it's very fitness oriented. Any system/studio/whatever who trains under "realistic" conditions should be fine. Self defense and fighting is really two different things. My 2 cents.. wait euro cents.. no, öre! :) I don’t really think your videos are valid from a self defense perspective.
