The 2 Self-protection Methods That Can Help To Save You

By Eric Scott

1 - The Wake-Up Call

Ever so often , we all get a reality-check that this world can be hard. Not always, not all the time, but ever so frequently, if you're like me - a sprinkle of violence touches your life. Something happens in your neighborhood, or to a friend or relation. You've just sat in front of your keyboard and want to see what type of free resources the Sprawling 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 avoid 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 groups have got hundreds of techniques listed, and online training that is more costly 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 are you able to learn and still be in front of the Television in one minute? The two most critical physical skills 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 technique. 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 over our wrists, arms, neck, and body and building 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. Toss 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 tapping on the window.
