Washington Post: Why Can't We Hate Men?

[DBTrek]

Okay, cool, show me.

Recently took up boxing, myself. The conditioning is great, and the fighting stuff makes me feel more confident and aggressive when out in the world. It’s not like anyone would screw with me face to face in the first place, tho.

1. You have the guy’s hand in your hand for the handshake already.
2. You know which way an elbow bends.
3. Grip his hand, pull his arm straight
4. Rotate his hand outward forcing his elbow to point upward.
5. Use your off hand to apply force on his upturned elbow in the direction that it does not bend, and guide his face toward the floor as his body gives way in an involuntary reaction to avoid the arm break.

Hold him as long as you want.

It’s a slight variation of this simple, 7 second video (this isn’t a cross body grip like a handshake, but the mechanics are the same. Note, you have to control the wrist and elbow for it to work)

[Speaker to Animals]

Alt 5: Strike the elbow as hard as you can until you hear a snap.

Well shit ... if that’s the plan you could 2-step it, right?
1. Pull arm straight
2. Forearm Strike the back of elbow

But that’s a little bit excessive for the crime of “talking shit”. Ouch.

Not excessive at all in that situation. You just saved random people from getting beaten for at least six months.

I think boxing is one of the greatest skills a man could learn. My respect for you has gone up.

It is a great sport.

Okay, but would that work sitting down like Louie is in the clip?

[DBTrek]

It works if you can pull the arm straight and rotate the wrist outward. Seemed like he had room. Or he could jerk the guy in and strike his neck like homicidal StA is into. Or he could stand up while gripping the hand and perform the most rudimentary hip-toss anyone could learn in one Judo class.
Or a million things.

Shaking hands with someone you’re trying to menace is a real bad idea. You don’t want people you plan to fight establishing a grip on any part of your body, especially a hand (which, you know, you’re probably planning to use in the fight, right?)

[Speaker to Animals]

Brutal strikes are the way to go. I guess you are just not Cobra Kai material.

...by putting yourself in jail for 6 months? That’s meta, bro.

You would not go to jail for breaking his arm.
