I don`t know if we have a topic concerning this subject, but, I`ll introduce it anyway unsure.gif.

What kind of fighting style does Michael uses? We see that he tends to use his elbows a lot, and, he also seems to hit the human body pressure points quite frequentely (like lower back, throat, etc.). I think that a self-defense system (Krav Maga) is based on these aspects..

What do you think?

I think in the interviews I have read he says he knows several different types of marshal arts....he seems super fit. I worked in a field where they taught us self-defense and they taught us the one he uses a lot where he grabs by the wrist and twists and the leverage brings the person to the ground.

Wasn't there a line in "Comrades" which mentioned how a spy has to use whatever fighting style his cover ID's background is from? Something about how if you claim to be from Russia and you're using Brazilian whateveritis it just doesn't work or something like that? So I think that his fighting style on the show kind of evolves given whichever situation he's in. I used to call it "the 'Alias' school of fighting" because that's the first time I really remember seeing that, a character changing her fighting style and using whatever she had around her to beat TBGDJ. wink.gif
