Thank you, you've now cemented in the fact that you're absolutely full of shit.
Well, your assumption that breaking the fall is useless proves only that you've never tried it - by which I mean the move itself not attempting to break your fall.
You seem to be under the impression that your opponent isn't going to fight back or struggle at all - which is yet another reason why this technique is completely useless.
So, let me see if I understand thus far.
You claim that the Belgian Takedown was "too deadly" and was subsequently removed from military training.
None the less, you recommend it anyway.
That in mind, you claim that a strike to the base of the skull and throat is "too deadly" and hence can't be recommended.
In any case, the stike to the base of the skull and throat doesn't necessarally kill. A lighter touch is used for a knockout and a heavier strike for a kill.
Nice to see you have an imaginary friend to keep you company. I assume it's the same imaginary friend that told you to make shaped charges out of coffee cans. |
Honestly, there is no need for you to call me names like a child would.
Imagine this: You break the fall, but now you are on your stomach, with your legs in the air. you are then in a tactically inferior position.
Now, I would bet you could give a light touch for a knockout, but without the proper training, most cannot.
Well, if you were wondering, my imaginary friend is doing quite well, and sends his regards to you.
