In reply to the discussion: MAGA's Violent Threats Spike as Little Girls Threatened With Rape [View all]ProfessorGAC
(70,811 posts)43. Sounds Like What The OSS Trained In
Attacking the eyes, the ear slap, throat chops, groin kicks, thumb breaking and so on.
It's very hard to train in it, because there's not a safe way to practice against someone.
It also takes some mental conditioning because some people might be resistant to intentionally breaking a joint or gouging an eye. It requires burying one's conscience and taking a "him or me" mindset.
Not that easy for some.
Also difficult is that many of those moves require letting the opponent get close, which is counterintuitive.
