Ah, c'mon, Skorzeny! You did an excellent job of clarifying comments from other posts you've made. You and the rest of the guys who've posted here have taught me a lot as to the concepts behind the various varieties of martial arts. Thanks.

I've never had any martial arts training--but my last fight was in 1951. Now, with arthritis and the constant threat of a pinched nerve in my back, I'm pretty judicious about life in general. My planned technique is to make lots of whiny noises and blubber a lot while I wait for the chance for a side kick to the knee--followed by as many shots from my hideout gun as needed...I figure if somebody grabs me, I'm gonna try to write inside his nose or eye with a ballpoint pen.

Again, to all, thanks for many interesting discussions.

Regards, Art
