Lets get real - Martial arts - Self defence
Let’s get real--- Much of the martial art stuff may not work for some and work for others. Why is this? Each person finds certain movements easier to understand and perform, than other moves. This is because we have different body sizes, developed strengths and abilities both in our body and the mind.
I met someone recently who states that he teaches self-defence. We started to talk about wrist locks. He stated that when a person grabs your wrist tightly, all you have to do is swing your arm from side to side. He demonstrated this.
