Agreed, I don't let people with hostile intentions get real close to me outisde of the club/work environment. Either way, the same general premises apply though. Eargrabbing isn't a real widely know technique for one reason, it is a huge gamble to try and actually connect and get enough grip to tear one off... Meanwhile clapping your hands on the sides of someones head to "rupture the drums" isn't too wise either, since it is so easy to block. I was mostly pointing out to squirrelboy how rediculous he sounding spouting that shit in here , telling us he was going to slap our ears off or some shit, then calling us the pussies...
You are right though, a fight is a fight and simply the last man standing is the winner, regardless of how the job gets done. I bite, knee, kick, and basically do whatever needs to be done to be the one that gets to walk away in the end. Luckily, the need is never so drastic I resort to slapping ears off.
