That's where the training part comes in whether its martial arts or military close combat instruction. Unless you know exactly what the hell your doing you're due for an asswhoopin, or worse.
The easiest way to take down someone from the front is a few upward strikes right under the nose. A direct hit with cause the bone to skewer the brain. Blood chokes work if you can get em in fast, and if you know the correct pressure points on a human spin you can paralyze a person with your pinky finger.
btw Zeon do you know anyone in Delta? or any Rangers (they're the equivalent of Marine infantry..but still good fighters) I despised the Army when I was fresh out of training, but I owe a few from sfod a round of drinks.

that wont disable em tho, they'll be hurtin but the spike of adrenaline from the pain they'll get will give em 5 times their normal strength. I've seen it happen.

I've known a couple. Don't get to work much with them because they're light fighters or SpecOps and I'm in a heavy mechanized/armor brigade, but there are a few here and there. We've got a bunch of folks (usually officers) who are Ranger-tabbed, but haven't done any time in a Ranger battalion or anything, just gone through the course at Benning. The Delta guys only come down here to borrow MOUT sites to train on, and that's a "once in a blue moon" thing and they don't advertise, but I got to see some of them work in Iraq in '04.

While I don't get the opportunity to play it out (practically no market for it in the club scene unless your very well known) I still have and maintain a collection of the better trance that's released. I tend to stay away from anthems and cheesy epic tracks, but if I LIKE it and see it working in a set I'll play it out.
also...as it begs the question..why do you want to meet a good local? If your looking for friends practically all of the locals on this forum are down to earth and approachable in person. I'm not implying that this is the case at all...but if you are looking to hook up with a good dj for benefits (getting on guestlists for free, bragging rights ie "im with the DJ", etc etc) I'm making it known that I stay away from women like that Seen too many friends, both promoters and djs, get fucked over emotionally that way.
