I should remove martial arts on my Yahoo profile
Every once in a while some idiot reads my Yahoo profile and sees martial arts so he will write to me and ask me questions. One guy once said he could take a full force kick to the groin and not flinch, and offered to let me do it to him. I put him on ignore because the way he spoke, it seemed like he was being turned on.
But tonight I got this

croixchicago: Hey buddy, you ever like play rough with guys? you ever use any nerveholds? sleepers? pressurepoints?
PHILBERT: George Dillman is an idiot with his "pressure point" fighting. They work, but he thinks he can win only using them.
PHILBERT: While he takes his time trying to use that pressure point, I'll just shove my fingers into his eyes, rush him and mount him, arm bar, or any of a million other things
croixchicago: lol, those pressurepoints really work>>
PHILBERT: Yes, in certain situations such as sneak attacks
PHILBERT: If my buddy is at a party and drunk off his ass and trying to pick a fight, Im gonna use a pressure point to subdue him
croixchicago: lol, no way?? you ever get that to work??
PHILBERT: versus some idiot who wants to fight me, I dont have time do dance around pressure points, when it is so much easier to just kick his knees
PHILBERT: A strike to the back of the neck can cause the "head to spin" and in some cases knock someone out temporarily
PHILBERT: However, if you are facing me, I can't hit you there can I?
PHILBERT: But if you have your back to me, I can, and even then it is difficult
croixchicago: wild, I heard of some back of neck pinch? grip? supposed to numb/stun a guy?
PHILBERT: The Vulcan Neck pinch
PHILBERT: made famous by Mr Spock
PHILBERT: it exists, but no human has the strength to pull it off
croixchicago: LOL, IC -- so it doesnt really work.
PHILBERT: Nope
PHILBERT: You can punch someone there and knock them out
PHILBERT: When I go on vacation with my father, he snores very
loud and I cant sleep, so I punch myself there and knock myself out to get sleep
croixchicago: LOL! you ever seen any pressurepoints freeze/stun a guy? ko him?
PHILBERT: Yep
croixchicago: no way!?!?!
PHILBERT: I watched a UFC match between 2 guys, and one elbowed the other on the back of the neck and knocked him out
croixchicago: Oh right
croixchicago: I know that works
PHILBERT: Thats what i was saying
PHILBERT: a blow to the back of the neck will do that
PHILBERT: An elbow is stronger than a punch
croixchicago: I guess thats a pressure point sorta
PHILBERT: Do you even practice martial arts
croixchicago: judo
PHILBERT: Aye, so you know the ground game very well
croixchicago: no bad
croixchicago: not bad
PHILBERT: So why worry about pressure points when you can
choke him out with a triangle choke, or ankle lock or arm bar
croixchicago: just wondered if that stuff is real, if it work on me
PHILBERT: well, in *some* sense yes it could
PHILBERT: But if you have the guy mounted and you are pounding him away, I doubt him using a "pressure point" is the least of your worries, nor is it the first thing on his mind
croixchicago: lol, true
PHILBERT: the whole "Dim Mak" and touch of death is b.s.
croixchicago: lol, true
PHILBERT: As I said, if I was facing someone, the last thing I'd do is grab your wrist and try and do a pressure point to subdue you. Punching you in the face or kicking your knees is so much easier, faster, and does not require 2 hands to pull off.
PHILBERT: So go laugh at the George Dillman guys
croixchicago: you ever use any? see any of that dillman stuff work?
PHILBERT: I won't touch anything by Dillman even with a flaming torch
croixchicago: lol, ok
PHILBERT: ciao
PHILBERT: good luck with Judo
croixchicago: later
croixchicago: :)
Yes, he did the smile thing at the end. I was having some fun with him, I thought he was just a 14 year old boy who liked the Matrix and thought he was the next Bruce Lee or something. Turns out the man was around 27, and he does Judo. Or claims Judo. So gotta give him points for doing a serious martial art.
