In basic self defense situations, there are many strikes you can use. The attack's location and proximity will dictate which strike you use. For example, if your attacker is on your upper back, you can use your hand. You can strike with a knife, a hand position, or a palm strike for more fragile targets. A tightly curled fist is another effective strike.
Block outward
The outward block works in the same way as a boxer's parry except that you don't take an opponent's punch but block them from the outside. Depending on the punch being delivered by the opponent, the block can be performed on the ribs (or midsection) or the face.
Side elbow
The side elbow serves as a defense move. Because the elbow bone has a thicker bone than the fingers, it can block an opponent’s punch with a brick wall. It can inflict serious injuries when used in self-defense.
Eye strike
The eye strike, a basic self-defense technique, can be used against an opponent to inflame or incapacitate them. It can be performed with your thumb, fingers, or thumb. When used properly, it is very powerful. It's important to use powerful strikes that are quick and easy to repeat.
Rotate your wrists
If someone tries to grab you by the wrist, one of the most basic self defense moves is to rotate your wrists. This will help you escape from the attack by using as little force as possible. If the attacker holds you down with a strong grip, you can use your shoulder power to break the hold.
Flattening an assailant’s ear with your flat hand
Flattening an attacker with your flat hand is a powerful self-defense technique that can help stop an attack. A weak hand can reach the mandibular angles nerve, which is located in the ear. To avoid slapping your attacker, you should place your hand between the elbow and the armpit. You can then go in the opposite direction and slap the attacker's ear.
Avoid confrontation
It is essential to avoid confrontation when practicing self-defense. You only have five seconds to react in a confrontation. The last thing you want is to become a target. You can avoid being attacked by staying calm and paying attention to what is going on around. Focus on the attacker's neck, back, and legs when he approaches.
