Re: Bicep grabbing
Certain forms of Silat use muscle and flesh grabs to suppliment their grappling/close in work. If this is someone that knows what they are doing, I personally would NOT try to off balance them by moving my body as I normally would in aikido. The intent of someone proficient at doing this is to tear the muscle loose from its attachment to the bone...a very painfull and debilitating thing, if sucsessful. I would respond by immobilizing the hand doing the grab, probably grasping them at the wrist and forcefully pushing into the area where they are grabbing, and at the same time use low stomping kicks to put their attention elsewhere, break the grip, and then move from the center to off-balance (back to aikido).
Or better yet...don't let such people grab you! You shouldn't be giving them cause in any case.
