In an unarmed situation, i like my style of karate.

We trained American Boxing style with hands, and
added all the kicks from typical karate, with
huge emphasis on the "power" kick techniques.
We also added extensive blocking and redirection
training.

In the first video link,
the guy in yellow is definitely fighting soft.
The guy in white is aggressive, but you can
see that he's always going for the "home run"
shot which is fairly easy to defend. His
moves are way too telegraphed; you can see
what he's trying to do from a mile away...
He's too small and weak and unless he coldcocks
you in the head, he's going to lose, and especially
a jui-jitsu guy would eat him up. Both guys would
probably lose to a jui-jitsu guy. Against either
one, I like my odds.

SYNOPSIS:

For the average Joe to survive in the military,
I like the traditional American fighing: boxing
and for ground fighting once both guys get
tangled up, throw in the Brazilian jui-jitsu choke and
submission holds. ( Think Mike Tyson and Rorion Gracie )

On a terrain, in army boots, I doubt anyone will
be doing much kicking. You're asking to fall down.

Once you've taught these guys these basics,
add in the joint locks of Dai To Yu ( Think
some of the cooler Steven Segal things ).

A friend of mine is the highest American
teacher of this style. If he gets a hold of
a limb, he can snap it in two with scarey
ease. He once demonstrated a simple arm lock
on me, and pushed it to the point where I
could definitely feel things starting to pop,
and he was barely exerting any pressure.

But in a street fight, on concrete, I still like
my odds against any of these styles; height
being equal. Of course, the taller and stronger
an opponent, the more difficult to win. But a
sidekick to the knee stops just about anyone.
