1 - The Wake-Up Call
Ever so frequently we all get a reality-check that this world can be hard. Not necessarily, not all every time, but ever so often, if you're like me - a dash of violence touches your life. Something happens in your home town, or to a colleague or member of the family. You have just sat at your keyboard and want to see what type of free resources the Chaotic Wonder of the Interweb has to supply on the theme. Time to master the art of self defense by burning up up the search website.
You skip the youtube videos of teen street fights over nothing. You skip over the UFC highlights and interviews. You skip all the cinematic martial arts demos with fancy spin moves. You get to Krav Maga, presented as the best self defence anywhere. Crap. Even those instructors have got hundreds of techniques listed, and online training that is more expensive than the Blu-Ray box set you were planning on purchasing this weekend.
The Television is on in the background, and the Simpson's theme song just started. What can you learn and still be in front of the Television in one minute? The two most critical physical skills you can know:
2 - The Critical 2 Methods
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 over our wrists, arms, neck, and body and building control of an attacker's. The fighting skills strategy book at Barnes & Noble for $24.95 will have hundreds 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 methods - the one's you'll need if trouble comes tapping on the window.
