CES is both astonishing and exhausting. As such, lots of interesting things happen on and off camera during our coverage and one of them makes good Sunday fodder.

Ben Rudolph (@BenThePCGuy) should be no stranger to Windows Central readers. As director of Worldwide Retail Sales Evangelism at Microsoft, Rudolph plays a significant role in retail for software and hardware company.

Besides being just an overall cool dude, he was also a Krav Maga teacher. So when he volunteered to show me a move or two at CES, how could I refuse? Moreover, a vast majority of you voted to see it happen using Straw, a company he co-founded with some other Microsofties.

Anyway, grab some coffee and watch the hilarity as Ben teaches me how to react when someone goes for a choke.
