Aiming
for the BEST Targets in a Self-Defense Situation!
When discussing self-defense for beginners and those new to the
realm of self-protection, I'm often asked "If I just want
to get out of there and need to shut this guy down fast, what are
the best areas of his body to hit?". I love questions like
this, because it tells me that the person asking it is thinking
"strategically" rather than simply mechanically. If
you ask questions, not related as much to "what" it is that you
can do but, "how," "where," "when," and "why"...

A
Word About The Historic Beginnings Of Martial Art Vital Points
The Vital Point combat arts, has been misunderstood for many different
reasons. One reason that needs to be acknowledged is that the early
development of these art forms were created to destroy the enemy
and the need to make these arts instinctual. Therefore in those
days the combat arts were a lethal art. It was a war-developed form
of lethal hand-to-hand combat, which would render a man inanimate
by means of unconsciousness and or death, preferably within one
strike. Reason being, when encountering an enemy...

A Martial Artist Really Defend Against A Knife Attack?
Be careful who you believe. A knife attack is serious business.
The internet is replete with books, DVDs and YouTube sample clips
of people claiming to know the secrets of how to defeat an armed

business...

How To Kick - Kicking Effectively In A Self-Defense Or Combat Situation
Part 10 Of 10
There often times seems to be a tendency for the individual who
kicks to step too far forward, or too far back when they bring their
kicking leg back down to the ground after kicking. I have found
that the main cause of this is usually the individual kickers desire
to advance too far forward in an attempt to pursue his opponent
or retreating too far backward in an attempt to retreat from an
advancing opponent. This is not only incorrect, but it can have
devastating consequences if your opponent capitalizes upon your
mistake...

This ten article series will deal with the various components that
need to be addressed when considering the utilization of a particular
kick in a combat or self-defense situation. These ten components
can also be used by the tournament competitor although certain segments
would have to be modified slightly for the tournament aspects of
kicking, rather than the more intensive nature of using a kick or
kicks in combat. Although all of these individual components are
important, they are most effective when combined together and utilized
correctly when executing a kick...

the Kubotan Self-Defense Keychain as a Model for Using Everyday
Items for Self-Defense
One of the key elements that separates the Ninja's self-protection
methods, including the study of weapons like the Kubotan
self-defense keychain, from many other approaches to self-defense
training is the concept of "strategic thinking." And one of the
ways that this important mindset manifests is through the ability
to see through the "form" to what's really going on...

Part 6 Of 10
No matter how well you execute your kick, it isn’t going to do
you a damn bit of good if you don’t strike a specific vital or vulnerable
point on your opponent. Sure, for the most part, hitting your opponent
somewhere on his/her body is better than not hitting them at all.
However, you risk not only having a less effective kick and possibly
prolonging the confrontation, but also the very real possibility
that you may end up injuring yourself instead of your opponent...
