The 2 Self-defense Techniques That Can Save You

By Eric Scott

1 - The Wake-Up Call

Ever so often , we all get a reality-check that this world can be troublesome. Not necessarily, not all the time, but ever so regularly, if you are like me - a sprinkle of violence touches your life. Something goes down in your area, or to a colleague or family member. You thought about it and just sat in front of your keyboard and want to see what type of free resources the Chaotic Wonder of the Interweb has to produce on the subject. 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 over the UFC highlights and interviews. You skip all the cinematic martial arts demos with fancy spin moves. You get to Krav Maga, presented as the best self defence anywhere. Crap. Even those groups have got hundreds of techniques listed, and online training that costs more than the Blu-Ray box set you were planning on purchasing next weekend.

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 Television in one minute? The 2 most vital methods you can know:

2 - The Vital 2 Systems

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 establishing control of an attacker's. The martial arts methodology book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have lots of static strategy counters to regulate 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 stuff, and learn these 2 methods - the one's you'll need if trouble comes drumming on the window.
