5 Simple But Very Effective Self Defence Techniques That Really Do Work!

May 5, 2008 – 3:13 pm

I don’t know about you, but I don’t go out looking for trouble, I don’t go out with the intention of robbing someone of their money. It seems that these days you cannot pick up a newspaper, without reading about some innocent person that has being beaten up or mugged just because they happened to be walking down the wrong street at the wrong time. The bottom line is, I work hard for my money, and if I can help it, knowbody is going to mug me. I get up off my ass and do what most decent people do, I work, I don’t expect something for nothing, I don’t go out trying to take something that is not mine, I don’t go out and pick fights because I have nothing better to do. If someone attacks me, they better be prepared to suffer the consequences, and you know what, nine times out of ten, they are crying like babies when the devil stares them in face, and pays them a visit.

We have the right to defend ourselves from the dregs of society, Gordon Brown and Tony Blair before him; don’t seem to really care about street crime. They live in there nice ivory towers and are oblivious to what is actually happening in the real world. They obviously have bigger things to deal with, such as an American oil war in Iraq. Good riddens Gordon Brown and the Labour party, see what happens when you lose touch with the people.

Self-defence isn’t about going out and attacking someone just because they looked at you the wrong way or you didn’t like the colour of their shoes. It’s about protecting yourself, in some cases its about saving your life. Self-defence is what you do to keep yourself safe, and in control of your choices.

I was involved in kickboxing for many years and have had to defend myself on a few occasions, so I have discovered what really does work. To defend yourself, you don’t need to know how to do a jumping spinning hook kick, even a martial arts expert knows that you would have to be crazy to use stuff like that in a real situation.

My advice to you, is if there are multiple assailants or they have a weapon, you should to try and get away, or give them what they want just hand over your wallet, it isnt worth your life, Or if they are intent on beating you make as much noise as you can, if you cant escape.

I would advise you to practise these techniques with a friend, 15 minute a couple of times a week, will do wonders if you have to use them for real. Be very careful when practising; do not practise with full force and without proper control. It isn’t my fault if you take your friends eye out or maim them.

5 Simple Self Defence Techniques

The best thing you can do if you feel you are about to me attacked or if you feel threatened, is to strike first, don’t wait to be hit first. Cause a distraction, say something really stupid, such as point somewhere and shout very loud, what about Steven over there, then launch one of the moves below, make sure they are within striking distance when you cause the this distraction.

1. Striking the Eyes or Throat, Put index and third finger together, curl others to palm. Do NOT hyperextend your fingers, merely hold them rigid. Strike (think like a spear) straightforward into the eye or right above the hollow of the throat. Don’t strike directly into the hollow, strike about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch above it. (Note: you can also strike these points using only the thumb). One of the most simple, but most effective self-defensive techniques out there. I have personally used this to great effect on more than one occasion. After this they are at your mercy and can make a get away! If you wish!

2. Gif Lemon Juice, I always keep a squeezy bottle of Gif lemon juice in my car, I can have it in my hand and ready to quirt in someone’s eyes in about 2 seconds. If you don’t think this would work, go and get your friend to try it on you!

3. Groin Attack, depending on your position to the assailant, you can use knee, feet hands, I know how effective this technique is, both from using it and having received it.

4. Knee Attack, A hard kick to the kneecap will be very effective. Depending on your position, if they are standing in front of you, use the ball of your foot and drive it into the knee, if they are to the side of you, lift your foot and drive it into them from a sideways angel. Kicking an assailant in the knee, isn’t as simple as it seems, its easy to miss or lose balance, you must practise this if you want to use it with confidence.

5. Coins, Carry a about a £1 in loose change in your pocket, and throw them with full force in your assailants face. This will hurt a lot and will stop them  in their tracks. If someone tells you this wont work, ask to demonstrate it on him or her! It only takes 1 second to execute this technique.

If you ever have to use any of these techniques in a real life situation, don’t hang around and try to restrain them until the police turn up, if you have a few spare hour to wait that’s fine. Just get the hell out of there, you don’t want to wait the criminal to get back up and try to attack you again.

These techniques do work, but it all depends on you and your assailant, they won’t work against everyone. If you are unlucky and your attacker is a highly skilled street thug, you will have problems. I have seen guys that have never trained in anything in their life; beat the hell out of professional boxers and MMA trained fighters.

  3. Always strike first, fast and hard, I couldnt agree more, and make sure they cant get up and then get out of there fast.

  4. Your right ! no point in hanging around waiting for them to recover and then get up and attack you again, and as we all know the police have to finish their cup of tea and biscuits first.
