Talk to your Sensei about the best way to take down a terrorist in a crowed air plane. Mine says to get him in choke hold and hold it until he passes out. That should take less than ten seconds. It is usually less than 5 seconds. You may kill him but that is better than the him killing you. This was the technique used by a 70 year old American to kill a robber of his tour buss in Costa Rica.

Thank you for mentioning the effectiveness of the figure-four choke-hold / strangle-hold.
I wondered about how an older guy was able to take out a younger guy, but since you told me that it makes sense now.
I know some of the "older guys" are WW2, Korean war, or Vietnam vets and have killed an enemy in close combat before and could do it again if they had to.

Here is a link to a Youtube video of a pretty cool demonstration of the technique used to put an opponent to sleep performed here by Cris Cyborg...
