1 - The Wake-Up Call
Ever so frequently we all get a reality-check this world can be troublesome. Not every time, not all every time, but ever so regularly, if you live like me - a sprinkle of violence touches your life. Something happens in your home town, or to a acquaintance or relation. You've just sat at your keyboard and want to see what type of free resources the Sprawling Wonder of the Interweb has to produce on the topic. Time to master the art of self defense by burning up up the search site.
You skip the youtube videos of teenage street fights over nothing. You skip over 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 is more expensive than the Blu-Ray box set you were intending to purchase 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 critical techniques you can know:
2 - The Critical 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 train, 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 creating control over an attacker's. The fighting skills methodology book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have lots of static system counters to regulate 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.
