Green Belt
Punching arms/ hands is a reasonable technique, ? Skin Tears Are not a man stopper on their own but that add to the physical and mental damage of your opponent, fighting like any other competitive physical activity has a strong Mental eliment
Against multiple resisting opponents, in street fights etc ect.
They are low percentage, try pinching a softball on a string while a guy tries to hit you.
Bro there's multiple examples of skin tears failing in vale tudo, its pain it doesnt matter.
That's not even factoring in the reduced pain response under adrenaline.
Guy skin tears me? Awesome he's tying up a hand trying to inflict pain.
Let's take an example.
Mount
Ask Andy Norman what "a blood borne stop and drop process is."
This entire thing is very clearly staged, Rubens neck is already red and his pain response is very slow which tells us he's acting.
Why is andy focusing on pain response and strikes? He's a purple belt under Rigan, he should know getting out of mount is more important.
Why is Rubens posture and bicep control so bad?
Do you train defense lab?
