Most of the time, a tackle or grapple is enough to win things for me. Simple take downs that would phase even someone one fresh from boot are still highly effective against boys and young men who believe that nothing can touch them.

All jokes from other threads aside, I find that a simple snatch works wonders. It almost always takes the other guy by surprise, and you can either take him to the ground, move him around, or - best of all - just make him look stupid.

I'm a fan of the wrist, elbow, or shoulder lock. Not a huge chance of seriously injuring somebody, but it hurts like hell and lets you pretty much manipulate their body at will.

Now, when I WANT to hurt somebody, its a straight shot to the bridge of the nose, the throat, the balls, or the knees. If things are serious enough for me to warrant physical violance, I'm going to make my first strike as effective as possible.

I personally enjoy the look of shock when someone gets their first jaw grapple from me...

I just look down at my opponent and smile.

I've learned that smiling in an eerie smile is the most effective weapon, they look at you like your nuts, and very often are afraid to hit you because they don't know if you'll actually get hurt or not...

I do that after I let go...

That also ties in with the best psychological tactic of a little guy - I'm only 5'8" and about 160 lbs. The best thing to do when facing more than one opponent is to take on the biggest, toughest looking guy first, and go after him like a rabid dog. Everyone else will hesitate to engage the insane monster that you have become.

they look at you like your nuts

Why? How do your nuts look at people?

Latest for me:

Got a new girlfriend this week and it's been pretty fun. I also had to laugh b/c I changed my facebook status about a day ago (because it's not official till it's on facebook ya know ) and in 24 hours the only people that have said anything are the guys from the board here....at least I know where I'm loved lol.

"Who loves ya, baby?" *eats lollipop*
(chocolate chip macadamia cookie for the reference)

Anyway, congrats. Now remember - I want you to clap your hands and whistle at all times.

Personally, I just found a positive side effect of having an 11-month-old - with the lack of mobility implied - who is literally the size and weight of a two-year-old. My guns are getting bigger than they ever did with free weights.

I can't punch for the life of me. So I kick where it hurts. My legs are pretty strong because I used to try and run a lot to keep Raynauds at bay. So they know about it.

Or a simple body slam. I may weigh less than your average 11 year old girl, but doesn't mean I cant body slam
