Not if it was being talked about before I entered the thread.
The thread for your information, was about not telling anyone that you are a martial artist. Chokes were mentioned in passing and you took it from there.
The people who previously argued that choking could cause brain damage in a matter of seconds. I would further argue that punching or kicking a downed target in the head is far more likely to cause brain damage or death than a choke would.
There was ONE person saying something like that and enough people have commented that the topic is now more than covered.
Well first off its Kak
ato geri, not Kak
uto geri. Thanks for helping me misspell it.
Secondly, Kakato geri looks like this;
Which seems to be a rather superfluous motion to hit a downed opponent in the head.
So axe kick can only be performed at what height? Bearing in mind that 'kakato' translates as downward heel even you might understand you can circle the leg and drive the heel down to a lower target but thanks for the lesson.
Fumikomi looks like this;
Well to be honest, and I admit that my knowledge of all things karate is way below yours, the picture looks like what I would call kansetsu geri. We call it 'knee joint kick' in English. Sokuto geri is a higher version of the same kick which we would call 'side kick'. Kekomi geri is a thrusting version of the same, which leaves us Fumikomi, a thrusting heel kick which we train to the front unlike all the previous which are to the side or at least a 45 deg angle in the case of kansetsu geri. Kakato geri is a downward heel strike and we train it by lifting the foot up and across then down in a stomping motion, like an axe kick if you lifted the leg and dropped it down to strike a target 10 inches off the floor.
Which is more akin to the stomps I saw those Krav guys doing. I don't know where you get the idea that one is a variation of another. The two are quite different from each other in about every respect.
Only to the untrained eye.
It appears to be the go-to finisher for Krav and similar arts. I never said that its the only thing you do, but it is a pretty clear characteristic of such styles. In every Krav vid I posted, the demonstrator finished with a stomping kick or punch to the head area. I'm sure if I bothered to look, I'd find far more. In the absence of chokes, such moves make sense. Again, I'm simply pointing out that a kick or punch to the head against someone who is laying on the ground can have lethal consequences. Far more lethal than someone passing out from a choke.
And has anyone ever claimed otherwise? As I have said time after time. If the force is proportionate you have nothing to fear. If it is excessive you will have to justify your action in court.
And what exactly are you saying? That you only perform these techniques when necessary? Okay, where was I disputing that?
Mainly all the way through this and in previous threads. I remember you saying, "we fight as we train. If you train it that way you will do it that way". Quite clear cut. No one can vary their action, it's all locked in on auto pilot regardless of the situation ... not!
So agreeing with what I stated is "countering" me? That's an interesting way of looking at it.
I haven't agreed with anything you have said. Your twisting the meaning ensured that. Your lack of comprehension causes the same problem in every thread you disrupt.
BTW, Bludgeoning is simply beating something. And yes, you can bludgeon something with your fists and feet. Those are weapons too you know.
Funny, I always thought of bludgeon as a club, but then English is my first language.
noun
1.
a short, heavy club with one end weighted, or thicker and heavier than the other.
Bludgeon Define Bludgeon at Dictionary.com
So bludgeoning someone if you don't have a blunt instrument in your hand is really a metaphor similar to 'hammering' someone if you don't have a hammer. Not something you would use if you are accurately describing a martial art technique.
