The 2 Self-defense Techniques That Can Save You

By Eric Scott

1 - The Wake-Up Call

Ever so frequently we all get a reality-check that this world can be tough. Not always, not all every time, but ever so frequently, if you are like me - a sprinkle of violence touches your life. Something occurs in your neighborhood, or to a friend or member of the family. You thought about it and just sat in front of your keyboard and wish to see what type of free resources the Disorganized Wonder of the Interweb has to supply on the topic. Time to master the art of self defense by burning up up the search site.

You skip over the youtube videos of teen street fights over nothing. You avoid the UFC highlights and interviews. You skip all of the flashy fighting skills demos with fancy spin moves. You get to Krav Maga, presented as the best self defence anywhere. Crap. Even those instructors have got hundreds of techniques listed, and online training that is more expensive than the Blu-Ray box set you were intending to purchase this Saturday.

The Television is on in the background, and the Simpson's theme song just started. What are you able to learn and still be in front of the Television in one minute? The two most important techniques you can know:

2 - The Vital 2 Techniques

The right cross punch - yes, punch - not open-handed strike or slap. The power punch that ends more boxing matches, MMA fights, and street fights than any other technique. If you only have one technique to coach, with the certainty you'd be facing violence without a weapon, this is the one. Thrown low on the head at the jaw line.

Basic dynamic pummeling - clearing control over our wrists, arms, neck, and body and establishing control of an attacker's. The fighting skills methodology book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have hundreds of static technique counters to control holds. Chuck them out the window, learn basic pummeling, and then the easy way to strike behind it. (Dirty boxing, like MMA)

Don't spend $24.95 on the book. Get the free things, and learn these 2 methodologies - the one's you'll need if trouble comes drumming on the window.
