Want to elevate your self-defense skills to the next phase? Apply these street fighting methods to your martial arts style as see some impressive results. Now, there is an obvious distinction between the tournament style "fighting" that you may have learned in the dojo, and a solid method of self-defense to effectively ward of a real attacker.
Martial Arts Secrets #1 - When you know an attack is imminent, BE OFFENSIVE! Don't get caught off guard by your adversary. Dealing the first blow yourself can really make your attacker have some serious second thoughts about going through with his assault on you. Remember that we are dealing with REAL life and death situations here. If you are just picking "bar fights," then you deserve to get your ass kicked! So, if some guy demands your money, cower in fake "submission," whimper or cry like a baby, then plant a knife-hand strike to his throat, or kick him in the groin, as hard as you possibly can! DON'T hesitate and DON'T hold anything back. Hitting extremely sensitive regions of the body will make him either run away ... or drop helplessly to the ground wishing he could. Striking first is an excellent way to get the upper hand on your assailant.
Martial Arts Secrets #2 - Keep these 3 vulnerable areas in mind: Lower extremities, midsection, and face. Attack points of the legs are inner thighs, knees, shins, tops of the feet and toes. The midsection offers the kidneys, ribs, abdomen, collar bone, and groin. The face give you eyes, ears, nose, throat, temples and jaw. All of these can deliver immediate and excruciating pain. Landing a good solid blow to any of these body parts will almost certainly confuse your aggressor, and perhaps send him fleeing.
Martial Arts Secrets #3 - Carry some type of weapon. Especially if you are not a large person, or do not have great physical strength due to age or body type, you may need an extra "edge" against an attacker. Pepper spray is fantastic choice of weapon because it can be carried just about anywhere, is simple to operate, and is extremely efficient. The danger from an aggressor is significantly diminished when he is gasping for air and his eyes are burning out of his head.
Remember to always stay alert. Anyone can be attacked, so be ready, or you could find yourself a seriously injured victim. Incorporate these defensive street moves into the martial arts background that may you already have, and you'll be a force that attackers will wish they had never messed with. Keep in mind that in a street fight, there are no rules! So sticking to one particular style of fighting is pointless ... your attacker certainly won't. Combine moves and methods, and use EVERYTHING you've learned to defend yourself!
And knowing all the "right moves" won't do you much good if you're horribly out of shape. Maintaining your physical health is very important, too. Workout regularly with cardiovascular and aerobic exercise, and do strength training with weights, to help you stay in peak performance!
