Simple
Knife Defense - Responding Appropriately
Before we go into this subject, the best knife defense is to run
away, so please keep this in mind. In this first segment of Simple
Knife Defense.I want to address the topic of Responding to a knife
attack appropriately. This is when someone gets in your face right
there and now, no time to think but to react. In this case we will
respond appropriately. Some will not agree with this method, but
it is from personal observation through numerous testings...

Common Objects As
Weapons
Martial artist are not strangers to weapons. We train to some degree
with swords, sai, bo, nunchakus and other traditional weapons. That
weapons help us with coordination and other attributes. Those same
weapons are of little use in the street. We would not carry a sword
under our coat or a Bo to work. We need other types of weapons for
self-defense. We need more accessible weapons...

How To Kick: Kicking Effectively in a Self-Defense or Combat Situation
Part 2 of 10
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...

Footwork
for Self-Defense and the Martial Arts: Step-Over and Across
If you read my previous article entitled, “Self-Defense Fighting
Techniques: Sucker Punches, Off-Setting, and Roundhouse Kicks” you
will recall that I executed a rather simple piece of footwork in
order to avoid a sucker punch, and also to allow me the room to
execute my Roundhouse Kick to the head. If you haven’t read that
article yet, stop reading this one and search through my articles
wherever you are reading this and read that article first. It will
make this one a whole lot clearer and easier to understand...

Martial
Arts And Self Defense Tips: The Science Of The Fight
Even if you know the best self defense techniques you are still
vulnerable if you haven't developed one significant skill and that
is fear control. You need to be ready to stay calm during a physical
or verbal attack. There's no training that can simulate a real life
situation (e.g. a real attack on the streets). However there are
certain martial arts and self defense techniques that will help
you control your stress and your fear. These techniques will make
you feel a little bit comfortable during a stressful situation (e.g.
an act of aggression against you). These fear control techniques
involve breathing exercises and hand positioning...

Should
You Notify Your Attacker That You Are Trained In The Martial Arts?
According to some “experts” in the field of self-defense, you should
notify your potential attacker that you are in fact trained in the
martial arts and that if provoked, you will use that training to
defend yourself. Now I consider this advice to be akin to taking
a knife and cutting across your own throat to see if it is sharp
enough. Sure, you’ll find out the answer to that one, but only once...

Unconventional
Personal Self Defense Weapons
Weapons are intended to give us extra power and leverage, but they
are not always where we need them when we need them in an emergency
personal self defense situation. Many who own firearms, for example,
leave them locked up at home. Others buy personal self defense products
like pepper spray, but don't have those weapons with them 24/7.
So it is an important part of any personal self defense mindset
to learn to recognize and use improvised weapons...
