"Dirty" strikes and unorthodox techniques against trained fighters and dangerous opponents

[@Archangel-pd1rn]

A good thing to remember is that eye poking and groin shots are not automatic fight stoppers. Athletes stop fighting after eye pokes and groin shots because they know it is against the rules and they want it to be penalized in a match. But there are no rules in self defense. A comitted attacker will continue fighting after an eye poke or groin shot.

I generally agree, that's why I teach these techniques as tools within striking combos, not as isolated techniques. On the other hand, people in the street don't wear steal cups (fighters do wear them) and a good kick to the balls delivered with a shoe or boot can do more damage than any other single kick you can land. I personally doubt that any male can ignore it and continue fighting just because he is "committed". Groin kicks are like liver shots, once they find the target it doesn't matter how tough you are.

Thank you so much.

You know a trained fighter can fight dirty or carry weapons too

[@STORMCombatSystem]

Yes, but everybody tends to repeat the patterns he has learned through years of training, especially under stress. This is precisely the point of training. As for weapons, it's always a possibility, but if you live anywhere in the world except USA, it's much less common. And in any case, it's not the point of this specific video. This video just demonstrates a few striking techniques, that's all.
