Let's face it, 90% of people on this planet that fight, use punches and strikes as a majority of their arsenal of moves.
I first learned this technique in a martial arts seminar, from expert, Tom Cruise. No not the movieactor, but the guy who has trained the Navy Seals,Army Rangers, US Army and even many SWAT teams.
This technique is designed to protect you from being punched in the face, while at the same time destroying your attackers punching hand. You ready?
The next time a punch is coming at you, grab the back of your head with your dominant hand, and make a triangle with your elbow facing your attacker.
This will do a few things.
First of all, it will protect you from getting punched in the face. Secondly, if you keep your hand behind your head and keep the triangle formed, stick with it and use your elbow to smash your attacker's hand.
It works extremely well and I've used it in jail with great success in many fights. When your attacker punches your elbow, he will break his knuckles and will be a useless baby crying in pain! |
