IS learning Japanese martial art effective for street fighting and hand to hand combat?

Agreed with Jas Key. In the Martial Art I study has a similar technique as Jas Key described. You wrap you arm around the waist on the low back and pull towards you.

Your free hand than strikes the chin with the palm and push as the index and ring finger apply pressure to a spot by the nose at the root of the canine teeth on the face. And it does cause intense pain. Of course this is only part of the technique.

Used in a defensive close technique. And of course we too have a technique just like Jas Key described. And mr. anonymous what you describe seems like a useless technique and actually easy to get out of if someone was foolish enough to try it.

Since it needs to be setup perfectly and the had position is definitely not anatomically functional.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
