i sometimes use my cma skills against my dog. not the big one, he kicks my ass, but suzi's little yorkie.

i use the traditional art of deception to trick him into licking the hot stove.

Sounds like CMA because the blocks weren't clean and hard like in Karate. They were "just enough" to get the fist out of the way.

Nor did he actively persue a "real" fight, despite obviously being angry. That is one of the biggest traits I look for in a serious MAist of any type, but especially CMA.

Becca and Fu-Pow, please forgive me while I LMAO at your assumptions.

An "opposite side of the equation" story. A buddy of mine just graduated from the LA Sheriff's academy. There was a TCMA guy in there who claimed to be undefeated in a number of NHB and roof top fights in China. During the "Red Man" prisoner fighting simulation situations, he was taken down and had his flashlight, radio, handcuffs, and baton taken from him.

And? Everyone here is quite aware that the CMA are plagued with liars. That's not a reason to act all boozhee all the time.

Have at it. I spend some time shaking my head over some of your asuptions, too.

Dragonzrage, if your friends wails on people while they're down or chokes them out, he's going to find himself in the cells. The fighter in the account effectively recognises the point where it ceases to be reasonable force in self defence and goes over into assault/actual bodily harm.

I don't know about that Ben, in the account the defender sounded like he was having trouble coming to grips with what was happening, even though his body knew what to do. While I agree that going for a ground and pound may move you into assault, knocking the other guy out or causing him enough harm to quit could be defended in criminal court. The big problem would have been in civil court.

Yeah, but if he was fighting on a roof it would have been a whole other story.
