Lots of ways. The most common involves twisting the neck beyond it's normal range of motion. Depending on body position, it's possible to break the neck with a knife hand or an axe kick.
Right. And you're an expert on what's necessary because...?
Here's just one example. You're unarmed. They're not. Running away isn't a viable option. Damn straight I'm willing to break their neck.
C5-6 quad. No charges filed against me. Nor would there have been if he'd died. That's why it's called self-defense.
This is ridiculous. People in the military rely on weapons. That's what they're trained for. If a soldier is forced to resort to hand to hand combat (ok, I'm not talking about a dust up in a bar...) then an awful lot of things have gone incredibly wrong.
Except in Hollywood, of course.
Here's a free clue. Military training in unarmed combat amounts to a few hours. About what you'd get from attending one of those weekend "self-defense" seminars.
Because weapons...
Which sometimes means killing or crippling the other person.
So when was the last time you were attacked by someone with a weapon who was doing their best to kill you? Explain to us all how you choked them out without being stabbed or shot.
