Defences Against Kempo

This is a martial-arts nerd post, based on one hour spent at a regional martial arts club. It would probably be best, therefore, for most of my passing visitors to just avoid it. Here is my secret defence against Kempo:

1. Thai kick the kempo fighter in the midriff. Kempo fighter will try and block your thai kick with the soft inner part of both his or her arms
2. this should immobilise both arms without deflecting the kick at all. You can then do what you like.

Of course, I recommend negotiation in preference to this secret defence.
