The 2 Self defense Strategies 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 of the time, but ever so regularly, if you live like me - a little bit of violence touches your life. Something happens in your area, or to a acquaintance or member of the family. You thought about it and just sat in front of your keyboard and would like to see what sort of free resources the Chaotic Wonder of the Interweb has to offer on the topic. Time to master the art of self defense by gnawing up the search engine.

You skip over 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 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 this weekend.

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 TV in one minute? The 2 most vital physical skills 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 technique. 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 over our wrists, arms, neck, and body and building control of an attacker's. The self-defense skills methodology book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have lots of static strategy counters to control holds. Chuck 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 material, and learn these 2 techniques - the one's you'll need if trouble comes drumming on the window.
