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 learning that this world can be tough. Not necessarily, not all the time, but ever so often, if you're like me - a sprinkle of violence touches your life. Something goes down in your area, or to a acquaintance or relation. You've just sat down at your keyboard and wish to see what sort 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 site.

You skip over the youtube videos of boyish street fights over nothing. You skip the UFC highlights and interviews. You skip all the flashy 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 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 2 most critical physical skills you can know:

2 - The Vital 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 of our wrists, arms, neck, and body and building control of an attacker's. The self-defense skills technique book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have lots of static technique counters to govern holds. Toss them out the window, learn basic pummeling, and then the proper 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 techniques - the one's you will need if trouble comes drumming on the window.
