The 2 Self-defense Techniques That Can Save You

By Eric Scott

1 - The Wake-Up Call

Ever so regularly we all get a reality-check this world can be hard. Not necessarily, not all of the time, but ever so frequently, if you're like me - a little bit of violence touches your life. Something goes down in your home town, or to a acquaintance or member of the family. You've just sat in front of your keyboard and want to see what sort of free resources the Disorganized Wonder of the Interweb has to produce on the theme. Time to master the art of self defense by chewing up the search engine.

You skip the youtube videos of teenage street fights over nothing. You skip the UFC highlights and interviews. You skip all of the flashy martial-arts 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 costs more 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 can you learn and still be in front of the TV in one minute? The two most important methods you can know:

2 - The Crucial 2 Methods

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 strategy. 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 building control over an attacker's. The self-defense skills methodology book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have hundreds of static technique counters to govern holds. Chuck them out the window, learn basic pummeling, and then how to strike behind it. (Dirty boxing, like MMA)

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