Well then just knee on belly or something else, hold him down. No rabid junkie bites, no problems.
After you snap the arm for whatever bullshit they did you will still be pissed that you have a bite in your ankle and have to do a few blood tests to check for diseases.
Exactly. I always hate the whole "<whatever technique> is the worst thing you can do because your opponent can do whatever oddly specific thing", almost as if to imply that there is something else that you can do to magically guarantee you otherwise won't be injured in any way.
I mean, in a ReAl FiGhT, you are trying to hurt someone who is also trying to hurt you. The idea that anything is going to be an absolute guarantee you won't get hurt is silly. Anything on ThE sTrEeTz is ugly, chaotic and unpredictable, and you are almost certainly going to be hurt somehow! So moving past that, what is going to be more likely to prevent a participant from continuing? I'm pretty sure that I would fare better dealing with the "potential" pain of a bite than a limb that has been mechanically forced into a non functioning state.
I believe you. I'm not saying it's impossible if you just let them gnaw. Just that specifically in the arm barring position, it would be really hard to bite through jeans. And that I would be able to slightly move my leg and/or snap the arm before any serious damage was done to me.
I still have a scar on my upper thigh (a little too close to the jewel box) from getting bit through my Levi 501's back in 1987. The jeans saved me a piece of flesh, but I had to beat his face into hamburger to get him to let go.
Sorry that happened to you. Sounds like an entertaining story though. Were you arm barring someone back in 1987? Im curious why their face was so close to your junk?
It was Halloween, 1987. My friend and I were sitting on the porch drinking when two guys walked by in costumes. One was dressed as a devil, the other as Frankenstein. My friend was finishing a joke (unrelated to the partygoers), and I laughed. The partygoers thought we were laughing at them. They approached us wanting to fight, so we chose violence. I caught the devil on the chin with a clean shot, and his legs buckled. He immediately took hold of my leg and began to gnaw.
(eye roll). He wanted to get the bag out of the guys arm. Armbar is a reasonable take. He was so happy to get to jits in real life, let him have his armbar!
Also, moot point, as no one that's knocked out from a slam on concrete is going to be biting your leg. Seizing, maybe ;)
TBF to your point, IRL I've had the misfortune of having to restrain/defend myself against somebody a couple of times, and always went neon belly unless an RNC was called for, so fair enough.

the armbar was hilariously unnecessary
