K1 Greatest Knockouts
Karim’s comment:
This video shows just how powerful K1 truly is. The best fighting on the planet has been squeezed into this clip. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can lock and grapple as long as you like but the striker only ever needs one shot!!!
My comment:
And the grappler too needs only one strangle or one lock. . . .
Deniability: A knockout punch vs. a crippling grappling armlock or armbar, or any other joint-destroying technique
See the stand-up locks on the DVD Basic Instincts of Self-Defense. Practice them, and with “a little feeling,” you will be ending not just fights but fighting careers. And keep this in mind: A knockout punch cannot be explained as an accident, while a crippling armlock can — it has deniability. So how can it be explained as an accident? That’s how: You just held on to the opponent’s arm to keep it from striking you and then you slipped . . . or twisted out of the way of an incoming punch with the other arm. . . . It can happen. . . . Again check the stand-up locks on the Basic Instincts of Self-Defense DVD, and you will see the potential.
