The next question is what is "internal" strength.

That's bjj you're thinking of. Helio Gracie was a cripple, no?
At that point, a 200 pound man will easily dominate 99% of all other [unarmed] human beings.
But if we are talking unarmed combat, in my experience, the stronger man almost always wins unless there is a huge skill differential.

I stick to kb swings and to a much lesser degree turkish getups. Was going to do pistol squats (can't do one armed pushups, but one armed pullups may be within the realm of eventual possibility), but kinda got lazy and stopped, but really should get back on that! but anyway, even baby level of these does feel darn good.

Currently I am doing 5 x 10L/10R (100) one-arm swings and 5 x 1L/1R (10) Turkish get-ups each morning.

This is a great goal for me. I kinda do these (with ridiculously light weight) maybe 3x a week for swings, and maybe 1x a month for TGU. No reason not to work up to daily except for laziness and neglect. Well, my legs are tired a lot from too much soccer, so swings can be an issue.
