Changes to the blog

I had a comment from a reader about the check boxes on the blog and so reviewed these and decided to make changes to this. Blog readers are now able to rate the content of the posts according to the level of pain that the content is likely to cause. Blogger would only let me fit two in sadly, so you can rate posts as "bitchslap", mildly annoying but not really damaging, or as "kick in the nuts", painful, sickening and debilitating. For example the post on Paul Vunak's biting techniques is a "kick in the nuts" from me for what he does to the steak at the end of the video. Verbal Judo on the other hand is more of a "bitchslap" in my books.

The Tao of Biting

At tonight's Street Edge class we were talking about biting as part of a headlock escape and I promised the class I'd post Paul Vunak's video on 'combat biting'. So for those of you who are interested you can see the video here.

He discusses the use of biting in grappling, as in Kina Mutai. He also goes into great detail about how to bite for maximum effect, ie technical development of the teeth as a weapon. He lastly does this great demo with raw steak, which has to be seen to be believed...

The quality is a little dodgy which adds a comic element until you imagine it's your anatomy he is biting.
