Come on TD what are you training in.....!!
Come on spit it out dude.....
I think captain caveman does krav maga.
Did. Judo as a kid cos there was a good club down the road. It was really good, got into a fight with a slightly older and much stronger bully. He grabbed me and we went to ground and I pinned him. Made the guy concede defeat, he struggled a lot but I actually remembered my training specifically in that hold and I kept side control unit he fatigued and gave up. I was so amazed and proud I used skill to beat him. We stood up and I graciously put my hand out to shake hands and he punched 4 times in the face and broke my nose and he ran off. I was outraged he did that after I won. Went and told my instructor that judo is incomplete like I was an adult. Years later a work crew was hostile toward new crews, you don't need details, and this guy attacked me on the job. I wasn't expecting it. He had a safety harness on and amazingly I grabbed the harness like it was judo and threw the guy so hard on the cement he tried hard to get up but couldn't. The boss walked in at that point and sacked the guy on the spot as he tried same on other guys. I was amazed I remembered that throw instantly and under extreme pressure 20+ years since I last did judo as a pre teen. Wish my old instructor was around to thank him.
Then joined karate and boxing clubs, got so bored with karate all standing in lines doing repetitive movements and pretend sparsring like I kick punch you block then swap over. They always wanted more money for fake weapons and crap so I quiet and did boxing. I loved boxing first night I got put in with an experienced guy and was told to fight. I fought like a maniac and never landed a punch and the guy hit me whenever he felt like it. He made it hurt but not so hard to knockout or injure. I was only white guy. I went every night for years and had a bunch of fights titles etc.
Got jobs and girls and stopped boxing for decades then had another bunch of fights and coached guys until I was 45.
Lastly mma started and some young guys asked me for striking training so I started a gym with them and they taught me basic wrestling bjj and kicks.
I realised I am born to wrestle really as I picked it up quick and I have good natural leverages for it. Wish I had somewhere to learn it when I was young but there were no clubs.
These days I privately do self protection with and against weapons, sticks knives etc. It's just survival stuff no real style. About 3 of us different ages and backgrounds meet up occasionally and just experiment with knife defence, ranged weapons, escapes, high impact and run away stuff. It's cool, lots of randoms blow in and out, some bring knowledge, some test themselves, some are trying to prove stuff. That's my entire history on it.
