For those of you who have been around the martial arts/UFC/NHB scene on the Net for a long time, this topic may remind you of rec.martial-arts poster RYAN PARKER. This was the dude that said he couldn't be ckoked, armbarred, etc. because of his breathing techniques. He used to let people slap sleepers on him, and kick him in the ballzack to demo his "breathing techniques".
Unfortunately, he tapped to a lapel choke from Remco Pardoel when all of his USENET support got him into the UFC. He said afterwards that he wasn't familiar with that type of carotid choke, so he hadn't trained his body for it.
Interesting topic.
