Blade Hold: Unarmed Skill: 125%. Level 8. Grab the blade of your opponent’s hand, and twist it upward. Move your hand around until you grab their thumb, and pull that with it as well. Besides the fact that it will hurt an awful lot, you’ll cause half of your strength in damage to their wrist per turn just by holding it. At any point in time you can elect to deal a critical hit to your opponent, which simply requires you to twist their wrist very hard.
Thumb Grab: Unarmed Skill: 125%. Level 8. Grab your opponent’s thumb with your four fingers, wrap your thumb around the back of their hand and hold it at the blade of his or her hand. Pull the thumb backwards. You’ll cause half your Strength in damage per turn.
Under Arm Grab: Unarmed Skill: 120%. Level 6. When your opponent throws a kick at your torso, you simply sidestep and allow it to pass under your armpit. You then move your arm underneath their leg to hold them by their ankle. It is possible for them to get out of this if they are stronger than you, so use the under arm grab to your advantage quickly. From this position, you’ll still have one hand free, which you can use to bash your opponent in the knee with a quick palm strike, hammer punch or chop. Or you can kick at your opponent’s other knee and try to break that. Or you can just lift the leg into the air and trip your opponent up.
Standing Headlock Counter: Unarmed Skill: 130%. Level 9. If your opponent has you standing straight up, they’re behind you, their arm is wrapped around your neck and their other hand is either grabbing a hold of one of your hands, or is holding your head steady, the first thing you must do is prevent yourself from passing out from being choked to death. Reach up with whatever hand isn’t being held and grab a hold of the inside of your opponent’s elbow. Pinch and pull down. You probably won’t be able to pull it all the way down, but there is a nerve there that will allow you to get an inch or two out of it. Once you’ve pulled it down a tad, bend your head downward and position your jaw between your neck and your opponent’s arm. This will buy you at the very least a few seconds of time.
Once this is done, you have two ways you can get out of this:
If they have a hold of one of your hands, you simply reach over with your other hand use the blade hold on them. Twist their hand upward as hard as you can, then duck downward, and backward toward their hand. The pain that will shoot up through their arm will force them to either release your head, or you will break their wrist. Once you’ve stepped out of the headlock, you will be behind them. Pull their wrist up, and force them onto their knees. You now have them in a hold that is extremely difficult to get out of, no matter how strong they are. You have several choices. Chop them in the back of their head to get an instant knockout, kick them in their ribs to force them out of the fight permanently, but whatever you do, don’t release their hand. Once you are finished with them, break their hand anyway.
If they have a hold of your head, then you have two choices. Either multiply slam your elbows backward into their stomach, until they have no choice but to release you, or if your opponent is a male, multiply backhand your opponent in the groin. Every single blow will be a critical hit. Either way, it is impossible for them to block your blows unless they release you from the headlock.
Once they release you from the headlock, throw a back kick to their torso, or spin around and face them, or just dive/run forward and put some distance between the two of you.
Crouching Headlock Counter: Unarmed Skill: 150%. Level: 12. If your opponent has you under their arm pit, and you are crouched over in a headlock, then they are probably just holding you, and not choking you. If they are, then follow the steps of getting out of choking in the Standing Headlock Counter. Once you are out of danger of choking, then there are several things that you can do. If you are facing their front, meaning your body is in front of your opponent, and your head is behind them, then simply use the thumb knockdown on their exposed leg and knock them right over. Since your head is already pushing on their ribs you’ve hit the 3 spots and they’ll fall right over. Problem solved.
However, if you are facing their back, meaning your body is behind your opponent and your head is in front of them, then you cannot use the thumb knockdown very easily. Even if you’re able to deal the thumb knockdown, chances are they’ll fall right over on top of you. What you have to do is first, brace your feet, because you’re about to jump. Second, jam your thumb into the back of their knee. This will cause their knee to push forward, and they’ll crouch down. Grab their ankle with your spare hand, and pull it up. Now that they’re off balance, and on one leg, all you have to do is leap up into the air, shoving your full body weight into them, and you’ll knock them over. If they’re a lot stronger than you, and you can’t pick their leg up, then just continue to jam your thumb into the back of their knee to force it up into the air.
Blade Hold Counter: Unarmed Skill: 120%. Level 12. If your opponent has grabbed your arm, whether they are using the Blade Hold on you or just any hold on you, all you have to do to counter it is react with your own blade hold. Grab them by the blade of their hand and pull back, they’ll release your hand almost immediately. Note that this can go on forever, and eventually someone will have to deal out a different attack than this.
X Combo: Unarmed Skill: 160%. Level 12. Set yourself up for this combo whenever someone throws a high kick that you are able to block with the X block. Hold the X block, and throw a forward knee into your opponent's groin. This should drop their leg down. Exit the X block with a double ax chop to your opponent's head to temporarily stun them. Then throw a crescent kick to the side of their head to knock them out cold.
