My girlfriend and her friend took a bunch of self defense classes. They tried their finger, arm, etc. locks on me. My high pain threshold just didn't allow her or her friend to do anything to me.

When I was a kid, some "bully" broke my finger while I sat there and looked confused. I didn't realize it was broken until later.
My arms don't quite strighten, so she couldn't get a leverage basis for an arm lock.

To make matters more irritating for them, they tried their stuff on our other friend. Sadly he is gumby, so bending his fingers or arms didn't even cause any pain.

As to throws, since I'm horribly clumsy I've learned to fall rather safely.
As to avoiding the clumsy guys' counter attack. I once got irritated enough trying to find something that I picked up our couch and swung it like a club.
I may have an unremarkable DX, but how easy would it be to avoid getting hit by swung furniture? ;)
