The 2 Self-defense Techniques That Can Save You

By Eric Scott

1 - The Wake-Up Call

Ever so frequently we all get a reality-check that this world can be hard. Not necessarily, not all the time, but ever so regularly, if you're like me - a little bit of violence touches your life. Something occurs in your area, or to a acquaintance or member of the family. You've just sat at your keyboard and would like to see what sort of free resources the Disorganized Wonder of the Interweb has to supply on the topic. Time to master the art of self defense by chewing up the search site.

You skip the youtube videos of teenage street fights over nothing. You skip the UFC highlights and interviews. You skip all of 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 is more expensive than the Blu-Ray box set you were planning to buy next weekend.

The TV 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 two most critical 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 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 establishing control of an attacker's. The self-defense skills strategy book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have tons of static strategy counters to govern holds. Throw 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 material, and learn these 2 techniques - the one's you'll need if trouble comes drumming on the window.
