So you're saying that Krav Maga and other street-based martial arts don't advocate punching and kicking a downed target on the neck or head "if necessary"?
Then you're simply arguing semantics.
And armbar isn't going to kill anyone. A stomping kick to the throat definitely could.
What?
The argument was that a choke is some super dangerous act that can kill someone in a matter of seconds. I was simply correcting that faulty logic. Especially since it was coming from people who are perfectly fine with punching or stomping someone in the face while they're on the ground.
Generally? no.
Go to any Street SD based seminar (be it for leos, women sd, or krav) and theyre gonna tell you once hes downed or incapacitated, you leave.
You try to grab me, I throw you, while youre sprawling in pain. I leave, find help, or both.
I hit you, you go down, I take the chance to leave.
You're average Street SD instructor isnt telling anyone to sit and beat on someone "if necessary" because frankly, in SD thats idiotic.
1.. Cops show up now Im the aggressor getting tased
2. Oh look, its billy the bandits brother or friends, now Im getting killed.
3. its just elongating the situation, which is the exact opposite goal of SD 101.
Again, nobody advocates a stomp to the throat for SD.
If you think Combatitves and SD are simply semantics, you're naive. By you're logic we should just be sending our troops to womens SD classes and save millions!
obviously I meant "wouldnt" and it was a typo, but comprehension isnt one of youre strong points I guess.
Nobody said a choke could kill in a matter of seconds, but it isnt some super safe method that makes it difficult to cause any serious harm. But hey whatever makes BJJ sound better right?
andddd one more time for good measure, nobody here has advocated striking or stomping an opponent who is already down. Actually several people in this thread have said quite the opposite. Once again, you're making up ideas when you have little actual experience.
