EskrimadorNC, most Hollywood action heroes have ST 15+ despite being fairly average height and weight (if very fit). They can put down normal man with one deft move, break limbs with swift kicks or pick up an adult and run with him (or throw). All that requires high ST in GURPS.

Trained ST for Wrestling at DX+7 is (0.4*15=6). For Judo DX+7, it's (0.2*15=3). That gives you Trained ST 21 with Wrestling, Trained ST 18 with Judo.

Something around the lines of Trained ST 21 is what you need for the kind of Joint Locks and Throws from Locks that Bourne does all the time. You don't get enough CPs with one grapple to spend on breaking arms with one deft move without obscene Trained ST. He'd need Judo at DX+13 to match that Trained ST with Judo.
