1 - The Wake-Up Call
Ever so frequently we all get a reality-check that this world can be troublesome. Not always, not all every time, but ever so often, if you're like me - a dash of violence touches your life. Something happens in your neighborhood, or to a colleague or family member. You have just sat down at your keyboard and want to see what kind of free resources the Disorganized Wonder of the Interweb has to produce on the topic. Time to master the art of self defense by chewing up the search engine.
You skip over the youtube videos of boyish street fights over nothing. You skip over the UFC highlights and interviews. You skip all of the flashy 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 expensive 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 important techniques you can know:
2 - The Critical 2 Systems
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 methodology. 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 establishing control of an attacker's. The fighting skills technique book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have tons of static system counters to regulate holds. Toss them out the window, learn basic pummeling, and then the easy 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 methodologies - the one's you'll need if trouble comes drumming on the window.
