I think that there are plenty of TMA techniques that are great that you wont see in modern sportive martial arts, such as all those brutal non-sportive moves! Eye attack, throat attack, tendon removals, all that brutal grabbing and ripping and gouging stuff. Most of it can be aplied practically in a self-defence situation.
The thread is named TMA techniques that work, I could have been referring to an attack by a stick We used those to stop armed opponents. Those are some of the techniques I loved doing and didn't get bored practicing them. Very useful and you also get to learn some nice strikes while doing them, like when you get in the trap we used to elbow pressure points to make him relax his muscles so its easier to take the stick etc.. Defenitely what I liked most from my 8 months in Arnis.
