The 2 Self-protection Methods That Can Help To 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 every time, not all the time, but ever so often, if you're like me - a sprinkle of violence touches your life. Something occurs in your home town, or to a colleague or family member. You thought about it and just sat at your keyboard and would like to see what kind of free resources the Chaotic Wonder of the Interweb has to offer on the theme. Time to master the art of self defense by gnawing up the search site.

You skip the youtube videos of teen street fights over nothing. You skip over the UFC highlights and interviews. You skip all the fancy martial arts demos with fancy spin moves. You get to Krav Maga, presented as the best self defence anywhere. Crap. Even those guys 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 can you learn and still be in front of the TV in one minute? The two most important techniques you can know:

2 - The Critical 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 strategy. If you only have one technique to coach, with the certainty you would 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 of an attacker's. The self-defense skills technique book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have lots of static system counters to regulate 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 things, and learn these 2 techniques - the one's you will need if trouble comes drumming on the window.
