Tip #2: Picking The Right Body Part
When you hit these key areas, you want to create the most damage. The best parts of body to use to inflict the most damage to your attacker are your head, elbows, and knees.
If you choose to use your fist, always make sure you have the right form. Don’t wrap your fingers around the thumb. Doing so will cause some bones to break and distract you from the threat at hand.
Always keep your thumb over your closed fingers!
Tip #3: The Meaning Of Striking
One misconception that will prevent you from surviving an attack is thinking striking means punching and kicking.
Striking is all about using an impact point (like your fist, forearm, or knee) and throwing your body weight at the attacker.
You want to use the impact point and your body weight to target a specific contact point on the attacker, like his throat.
Using both the impact point and your body weight will always stun your attacker, no matter his size and experience.
Tip #4: Eliminate The Threat
People are great actors. Never assume the attacker is neutralized just by getting an injury.
Remember! Your life is on the line!
Always hit from where you are until you see the person is non functional and cannot get up to attack you more.
Alright, enough tips. Let’s move on to the moves!
