tv action shows now have most women in a fight doing that stupid move. good way to die if it was a real fight.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. I'm by no means a super-accomplished martial artist (working my way through the colors at an MMA/Krav gym) but I saw that and thought there was so much wrong with it:
1. As another poster said, she had to get help up to even get the lock.
2. The leg lock that she does get is with the thighs and not the shins so she has no hope of getting a good choke. This is important because...
3. Given the size difference she'd never be able to throw him like that. She might take him down given momentum but she'd be lucky if he didn't land on her. Without a nice deep choke on the lock as soon as she got him down he'd pound the snot out of her.
I just don't get the appeal of doing a demo for stuff that will get your skull caved in. There are plenty of effective techniques that are showy enough for any demo.
