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

By Eric Scott

1 - The Wake-Up Call

Ever so regularly we all get a reality-check this world can be troublesome. Not necessarily, not all of the time, but ever so often, if you're like me - a dash of violence touches your life. Something happens in your area, or to a acquaintance or family member. You thought about it and just sat in front of your keyboard and wish to see what kind of free resources the Chaotic Wonder of the Interweb has to offer on the theme. Time to master the art of self defense by gnawing up the search website.

You skip over the youtube videos of teen street fights over nothing. You skip over 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 intending to purchase this Saturday.

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 important methods you can know:

2 - The Crucial 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 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 of our wrists, arms, neck, and body and building control over an attacker's. The self-defense skills strategy book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have hundreds of static strategy counters to regulate holds. Throw them out the window, learn basic pummeling, and then the proper way to strike behind it. (Dirty boxing, like MMA)

Don't spend $24.95 on the book. Get the free stuff, and learn these 2 methods - the one's you will need if trouble comes drumming on the window.
