People are mentioning real life situations. I'd suggest taking up Systema. It's expensive and hard to find, admittedly; the only teachers of it tend to be guys who are former KGB or Russian Spetsnaz [where my brother learned it from] and since they aren't exactly common here and nor are they usually so freely-giving with the knowledge it can be a difficult school to train in. But if you can, do so.
The school of thought is to be completely fluid. Practically limp. You do not block punches or blows; you move with them. You learn how to absorb the power of an entire blow to the center of mass, how to loosen your muscles and to shift your center of balance so that a kick to the stomach is absorbed into your entire body. Dodging attacks is easy; no wild motions. They are all loose and controlled, almost casual, a punch to the head being dodged by moving the bare minimum of distance. Your opponent will see nothing but near-misses and he will become frustrated, angry, and wild. If they grapple you, Systema teaches you how to glide out of it; not just out of the lock, but out of the attempt to grapple you, and how to prevent an opponent from ever managing to get an arm or handhold anywhere on you that lasts for more than the briefest fraction of a second.
It also teaches you how to completely paralyze someone with the lightest of taps. A single finger shoved with just a slight bit of force into the right point of tension will dislocate shoulders, paralyze arms, numb nerves endings across an entire limb, or push the air out of an opponent's lungs, and if you must be lethal, how to crush a trachea with all the force of a sleepy backslap.
And it teaches you above all else; smile. There's nothing more off-putting to an opponent in hand-to-hand combat than to be grinning the entire time while he struggles to hit, grab, and injure what refuses to be hit, grabbed, or injured.
I've completely disabled men with blackbelts in karate, taekwondo, and kickboxing with the same amount of effort I'd put into lazily grabbing my bong for another toke halfway into an eighth. I've made pro-athlete boxers scream and reduced a couple guys trained in MMA to groaning, rolling, grounded bitches.
So. Yeah. If you guys REALLY wanna learn how to lay someone out without any effort [in the fight; you'll need a LOT for learning this shit] look up Systema.
