I studied Kung Fu as a child for a couple of years. I was really good too. Then I studied boxing on my own, and I am pretty good at that for someone who taught himself proven in practical experience. However, when I studied the Army combatives manual, I saw the light I guess you could say. Fighting need not be fancy or complicated, rather it should be the opposite. Why punch a guy in the face if you can hit him in the neck ending the fight immediately. The Army combatives FM (don't recall the number) is a no nonsense guide to ending a fight as soon as possible by delivering blows to vital nerves and arteries. All the fluff stuff is fine for a hobby if that is what you're into, but to defeat an enemy every blow should be the deathblow (or a blow that will demish the opponents ability to fight) or the precursor to it. Realistically anything else is a waste of time. I agree that if you can find a weapon of any sort, use it. You don't have to be an expert in Bare Naked Kill to whoop somebodies a$$ with a stick, a book, or whatever.
