Need to defend yourself? Want advice from a guy who used to be scrawny and not so tough? I used to get beat. Then one day I was given some advice and learned how to add onto it. My military experience also helped out alot. Now people don't mess around with me.
Step 1
Don't go looking for fights. Do everything you can to avoid them.
Step 2
Know your own limitations. If you can't go thirty seconds without stopping for breath start working out and getting some endurance training. You need to be able to last a good 3 minutes of solid fighting/grappling/wrestling.
Step 3
Fight like your life depends on it. No one fights to get the other person to submit. You fight to hurt people. Do you want to get hurt or go home safely?
Step 4
Stay on your feet. Unless you're a cage fighter and you can fight on the ground, avoid it. We will touch on this later.
Step 5
Defend your face and body with your arms. Keep your elbows in and your fists near eye level away from your face to block side attacks.
Step 6
Stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder width, strong foot forward and slightly to the outside, weak side to the rear and outside.
Step 7
Slightly bend at the knees.
Step 8
Slightly bend forward.
Step 9
If you have exhausted all forms of negotiating and the fight is definitely going to happen, move in. Get close to your target. Don’t stand arms width apart. That’s where the punch will hurt the most. Get close. Try this for example. walk up to a wall, put your fist about 2 inches away and punch the wall. Not bad, didn’t kill you right? Now step back and punch the wall as hard as you can with a full extension of your arm. You didn’t do it, did you? It would have hurt like hell.
Step 10
Grab/bite ears. They come off with a little bit of force. The psychological effect of having an ear ripped off will stop most fights.
Step 11
Jab eyes. If they can't see. . .you get the point.
Step 12
Punch the throat. If you can't breath you can't fight.
Step 13
Don't forget your knees and elbows in close quarters. They may be harder to control and have shorter reach, but they are strong, hard for an apponant to grab, and they pack a lot of force.
Step 14
Hair is pretty much worthless unless they have lots of it. Pull it!There is also a trick you can do,using your opponent's hair.It works better if they are wearing a ponytail.Grab it and bring their face down to your knee, with much force.
Step 15
Joints. Not the ones you smoke but the ones in your body. If you can break an extremity at the joint you can plan on a fight being over right then and there.
Step 16
Feet. A solid foot stomp onto the top of your opponent’s foot will result in the immediate breaking of bones and you will almost certainly cause their foot to swell to the point of no return.
Step 17
Hands. If you can grab a hand take a hold of it and flip it in a big circle and twist it 180 degrees. Once in that position you can manipulate the arm and break it easily.
Step 18
collar bones. Your collar bone has the strength of that flute player in the marching band. . .it's weak. About 7 pounds of pressure will snap a collar bone and the entire arm will drop like a load of potatoes.
Step 19
Groin. On men, this will cause severe pain.
Step 20
Ribs. A little tougher to break but when they do. . . they really take the fight out of you.
Step 21
Arms. try to grab a hold of an arm, when you have it use your fore arm or palm to throw a sort of inverted punch. Try to land your blow onto the weaker underside of the arm where your veins and arteries are. If you use your palm keep your fingers pointed up.
Step 22
Mouth. A lot of people like to bite when they fight. Bad call. You can catch any number of diseases. If you should happen to get bit on your fingers you can literally rip the bottom jaw off of an attacker with your own strength. Imagine your fingers are being bitten from the side covering your smallest fingers. Manipulate your whole hand into the attackers mouth(this will work on dogs also) and push your fingers down into the bedding of the tongue. that alone will warrant an attacker to let go. Don’t let them. Dig your fingers under their teeth in the small pocket your tongue hides in. Pull down and to the side. You will notice they forgot about fighting and are desperately trying to get your hand out of their mouth. Often times they will focus both hands on pulling your one hand out. Use your free hand to grab a fist full of testicle or an ear. If you can give sharp jerks in a downward and outside thrust away from their face. The bottom jaw might be able to handle three of those before it unhinges.
Step 23
The neck. Not the best place to attack, but it is a preference from behind. If you can get a hold of the attacker’s neck grab on for dear life and don’t stop squeezing until they pass out.
Step 24
The spine. A mild blow to the base of the back near the belt line will temporarily disable an attacker. A server blow to the same spot will permanently incapacitate them from that point down on their body.
Step 25
Nose. If you can grab the nose do it. Snap it to the side. Punch it straight into the brain. Don’t worry you won't kill anyone that’s a wives tale. Also a sharp thrust of the palm in a downward motion will have the same effect.
Step 26
If you're grounded, pick up a handful of dirt, sand or gravel and grind it into your attacker's eyes. Act quick, you won't fight them off for long with only one hand.
Step 27
If you're holding a beverage before the fight occurs and you know that the fight is about to begin take a sip, then spit it into your opponents face to buy some time. The beverage you use will have diffrent effects on the eyes (i.e. if you spit hard liquor into the eyes you will have more time than if you used ordnary water). If you use chewing tobacco the same effect can be achieved by sptting tobacco juice into your opponents eyes.
Step 28
Fight quickly. Fight like your life depends on it. Be aware of your surroundings.
Step 29
Use anyting logical as a weapon. (i.e. a stapplers, rocks, bottles, airsol deodrants or sparys) may seem harmless but all can cause sever injury if used properly.
Step 30
Never take a fight outside or anywhere. This give the opponent the upper-hand to sucking punch you. If the fight starts there it finishes there.
Tips
- Practice makes perfect. Have a friend get with you. Do not hurt your friend though.
- If you happened to be the victor of a fight don't hang around leave and laylow. Its hard for a cop to arrest someone if they are not there and if nobody knows you.
Warnings
- Utilizing this information is for self defense only and should not be used to act out feelings of aggression. These are a few of the things I feel comfortable sharing. The rest of the stuff I know is in regards to killing people not fighting. You along with every other living creature on the planet has the capability to kill. . .use your head and make sure violence is the last resort for your safety.
