Greyfox, that sounds....painful....and we have been working more in our advanced classes on things like groin, knee, eye, and face strikes, and in the hapkido we've been kind of leaving the fancy stuff for later and working on a single, direct, easy move like breaking the elbow or spraining the wrist just by a direct strike or a quick twist, and practicing them over and over again. It's become a bit more ingrained, though I still don't think I could do it if a real threatening situation were to occur. Littledemon, you're right, ad the biting is something that you could do in a real situation. Thanks all for the replies!
