[quote]-Hand-to-Hand proficient[/quote]
The head instructor at my martial arts school holds a 4th degree black belt in Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Kempo Karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He has also done some MMA cage fighting. He is only 25 years old, so for your guy to be an expert at these disciplines by age 29 sounds quite reasonable to me. What I have found about these various disciplines, is they specialize in certain areas. Muay Thai specializes in their strike sets; mostly strikes with the hands and some kicking; TKD specializes in kicks and BJJ specializes in ground work. It is nice to have a good frame work in those three. Krav Maga is simply the art of self-counter-attack. Someone comes at you, and you react. Some attempts to start some shit with you and you overwhelm their senses leaving them in a bloody mess. In our school, we train in Muay Thai Strike sets mixed in with our Krav Maga. It is a lot of fun.
