Tae Kwon Do and being open minded

His site is definitely interesting--as I said, he writes good books and articles.

As far as his claim goes, it's obviousl that you could definitely bite someone while grappling, in the groin area or elsewhere. However, it would be difficult at best to apply this as an excape from the mount, especially seeing as Mr. MacYoung apparently lacks skill there. According to everyone I have asked about it, he flops around like a fish out of water. My intention is not to bash Marc MacYoung (it is unfair to verbally attack someone who is not present to defend themselves), but he really doesn't well-represent the best that is out there in terms of self-defense material.

I find it very plausable that someone could in fact bite someone in the groin from the bottom of mount in a struggle.

I find it very plausible that the person on top would have a few choices and decisions to make. ( all of which pivoting on the said biting of the groin.)

I find it probable that at whatever level the confrontation was at when it started, the stakes were just raised.

I find it plausible that some one who was about to get the beating of their life, and go home to lick their wounds, will probably never see the light of day.

Epitaph reads:

" Here lays a moron that will forever be remembered as the guy that was killed for biting another guys testicles."

If you want to put your mouth on another guys groin, you may want to take him to dinner first. Oh, and ask him if he is into that.

Hitting somebody who is 100 percent committed and intent on inflicting bodily harm on you will just make them pised. It wont stop them.

It depends how hard you hit them and where. Tyson got KOd by Lewis, remember?

I am always kind of wary of those claims these "reality" self defense people make like Franco, the senshido guy, Marc, or whatever.

I have tested this type of escape.It may work for a second.But after you elbow or bite the groin area.you are going to get the whopping of a life time.
Rickson made it quite clear.If someone bites him,they will pay with ALL their teeth and both their arms.
