I'm keeping this one simple. It is just a list of targets with the best ways to attack them:
1) Temple: hook punch, backfist, or knee (only if you can get the opponent in a clench and twist their head)
2) Eyes: finger strike for grazing, or finger gouges
3) Nose: jab or cross punch, palm heel, hammer fist, headbutt
4) Jaw: jab, cross, hook, uppercut, palm heel
5) Ears: palm slap
6) Throat: karate chop, pinching windpipe
7) Carodit Arteries: karate chop
8) collarbone: karate chop, hammer fist
9) Solarplex: punch
10) Groin: kick, knee, slap. grab
11) knee: stomp kick

After a good defense, you should be in a position to attack. The vital aspect of this is the transition, moving from defense to attack. You cannot give the opponent time to recover from your defense. One of the most effective ways to do this is a few quick strikes. Technique is not as important as keeping the opponent in a defensive position here. So, a fancy time consuming technique is disasterous here. The best method of attack is a target oriented one. Instead of worrying about a perf... Continue reading...

Just like in anything, defense will not give you a win. In self defense, you want to jump to offense as soon as possible. Now some times you know when the opponent is about to attack and can attack them first (preemptive attacks), but this is not always the case. Sometimes the opponent strikes and you have that split moment to stop them before the strike gets to you. This is where a defense comes in. You have three basic defenses to choose from: Blocking, parrying, and defensive attacks. Bl... Continue reading...

You now have a grasp on mindset. So, now you need some moves. There are so many moves out there, where to start? Remember that you will be under pressure, so any fancy spin kicks or punches that take all day are high risk. Instead, use low risk, high damage techniques. Jabs and crosses are a good start, but you need more. Most of these high damage moves are banned in the combat sports sector. These illegal moves have been sold as systems by many experts, but here is a list of most of t... Continue reading...

Once you know how to use your fear as a weapon, you need to build your fighting mindset. This is called many things: killer instinct and controlled insanity are a few. But the best definition of this is a want to destroy. You have to want to destroy your opponent, though you do not have to do so. Understand, you do not have to beat them to a bloody pulp, you can still just hit them and get away. This mindset just makes you want to do so, and in doing that, it keeps you from holding back. A...

For those that need a strategy quick, This post will have some basics. You need some techniques for all three basic ranges: standup striking, in close, and ground. -standup= Basically some boxing with a few kicks: jab, cross, hook, straight kick, and a round kick -in close= clench, elbows, and takedowns. -ground= basic positions, basic submissions, and escapes. This is about as basic as self defense can be. This only works for hand to hand and has little effectiveness against multiple opponents. ... Continue reading...

A good mindset is important. I remember being told that the mindset accounts for 90% of the fight. Now, it is very important, but there is no way it is that important, plus I believe that most percents are made up on the spot anyway. The fact is: a good mindset is important and should be understood before you go into actual fighting. And the first part of a good mindset is manipulating fear. Let's start off by talking about what happens when you are threatened. To make this short: Fear h... Continue reading...

Tip 1:
First, here is our definition of a streetfight: any situation where reality based tactics are needed. They can include attacks in the streets, in bars, in parking lots, or even in your own home.
We would like to talk about the differences between combat sports and streetfighting to start with. If you know anything about reality based self defense, you already know this, but it is worth mentioning again. So to make this easy, we are going to provide the differences ... Continue reading...
