It’s a decent set of targets, but recommended strikes – not so much. Most of these recommendations will escalate the fight. They hurt but don’t really debilitate.
1st principle-hard/soft. Hit soft targets with something hard, hard targets with something soft. There are 11 different hand techniques for strikes which brings up the 2nd principle-contouring. Your goal is to transfer energy into the target. Contouring, using the right technique for the target, maximized the transfer. If I kick someone wrong, they are pushed back (movies). If I kick correctly, they drop to the ground. This is the 3rd principle – speed. 4th principle is position and movement. All of these work together against a non-cooperative opponent.
The baroreceptors are not shown. For the groin, my favorite is the shin bone coming up to crush everything. Every guy has been kicked in the groin; we defend it. Getting a good shot in is hard. It’s not a high-priority target for me. I like the head. I also like liver shots, mostly because I’ve been dropped a couple times by them. Man are they effective, and that’s when I was training hard and could take a punch or kick to the stomach. How to hit it, there’s the rub. Knees are tough as well, but good for causing people to lose their balance or feel threatened. Stomach- can be good or useless. Better hitting the short ribs IMHO. They break or crack, not much muscle around them. Ever try breathing with a broken rib, painfull. Priority target is the head, specifically the brain. Shut down the CPU and the whole computer goes down. Mouth is a poor target, chin or nose much better and so close.
A lot of my preferences are based on things that work for me. You will probably get different results. But this does remind me of good times.. Other than the broken ribs, those were not too fun.
Depending on the location and the circumstances, shooting the person trying to start the fight is also an option.
.357 at 1800 fps works wonders.
“Strikes” list is incomplete. It should include biting. As in how to deal with Our Greatest Al … er, Problem. 1) Bite ankles (because we’re usually groveling at their feet), 2) Bite genitals, because we’re already fellating them.
I prefer the “point and shoot” method of “de-escalation…”
“Strike” should be followed by “with no less than 180 grains of jacketed hollow point.”
I always aim for the solar plexus…everyone is taller than me.
I’m too old to fight. I strike primarily with hollow points.
well, one trick that worked very well for me years ago was to grab the asshole’s balls and twist them. then my knee to his face.
didn’t last long after that .
rules are for clowns in a ring.
like anything else, it depends on what is in front of you at the time.
beer bottle to the head works well too. works better if you can get some speed behind it though.
If you are on the street there are no rules. Use what you can to debilitate your oppent as fast as possible. Sight, wind, will. Take any one of those three the fight is over.
Two fingers to the eyes, arc hand to the throat, shin to the gonads. Any of those should work.
That sure looks like a lot of work. I’m retired. And old. Put me in the Just shoot the bastard column.
Best way to win a fight is not get into one in the first place.
Avoid risky situations, but if you have to go there, carry (even if it’s illegal), and if something happens, shoot and scoot.
