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
