Forrest Griffin Explains "The Asian Dart"

So you're in a fight, slumped over your opponent's back, firing punches at the side of his/her head to no avail. You want your opponent to move so you can get into a more dominant position. What technique should you master?

According to Forrest Griffin's book, "Got Fight? 50 Zen Principles of Hand-to-Face Combat," you should apply "The Asian Dart."

The technique, spun into comedic gold by Griffin and grappling coach Neil Melanson, gets your opponent to move by placing your hand where the sun doesn't shine.

Griffin says they'll move real quick after that. Yes, there are pictures.

Who taught the former champion this method?

"Randy taught me several things similar to that, and he tries to make it seem all innocent like you're not grabbing another man's (expletive), but Neil's just like, 'nah, you gotta do the Asian Dart,'" Griffin told MMAInsider. "You hit that sensitive area, and dude is gonna pop up and move."

The "Dart" is just one of the many funny passages inside the book, which Griffin says he has enough material for a sequel. Check it out... it's worth the read.

If I understand his wording correct, give the guy a low blow when the ref can't see it? Sound logical to me.

No, it's a thumb to the butt hole when your opponent is turtling. Gets him to lift his head enough for a RNC. It's in the book, which is hilarious. Everyone who has any interest in MMA should read it.

Lets see, rolling around with sweaty men shoving a thumb up their ass.

So so so gay.

I'll stick to watching fights where you can't actually see that and only see the non gay stuff.

Gays are great. I'm just not one.
