The following is an excellent, real-life example of precisely why we focus on
destroying an assailant's ability to fight by attacking his limbs first —
what is referred to in the Filipino martial arts as Defanging The Snake.
Effectively defending yourself against anyone whose pain perception is as abated as this individual's clearly was, often requires quickly removing his ability to wage war. A powerful blow to the head or the body will be no where near as effective as, for example, taking out his knee — again, "Defanging the Snake." Even if your assailant feels no pain, simply standing with a dislocated knee or a broken leg will not be possible, much less being able to continue to fight. Again, even if he feels no pain, there is simply no structure there to support his weight. If he cannot stand, he cannot fight — simple as that. It is simply the difference between switches and timers. |
