Curtis, my neighbor (30 something guy) has trained in
Muay Thai for several years. He works out a lot in his
garage. I asked him to demonstrate some Muay Thai
moves on me a while back. I'm an old judo guy so i do
know somethings on the mat. My experience was like
yours. That behind the neck lock-up is incredibly
powerful.
