And if you’re wearing a gi or clothing I can definitely reach, because I’ll just pull you closer by the neck and get a quick flick on your eyeball.
Try holding any choke or position when the other guy is even just touching your eyeball directly, and not putting any pressure.
If you’re legitimately training for self defence and not just to enjoy to sport and competition, then you can not be practicing with Muay-Thai or MMA rule sets in mind.
Most guys quite literally lose control of their arms once you start putting pressure on the eyeballs, they instinctively reach back to pull your hands away.
I’d suggest watching street fights and practicing holds with that kindest involved.
A lot of the times you thing your eyes are safe they aren’t. And if your eyes are safe I can probably reach your balls.
