Palm heel strikes - not your movie punches - are the safest ones to throw when defending yourself it you are striking anywhere towards the face. The bones of the face are hard. The palms are soft. Yin-Yang principle. In street fights, striking with fists towards the face especially for women and children can result in breaking the bones in the hands which brings about a swift defeat for defenders. In this video I teach a little lady to defend herself using palm heel strikes.

Elbow Strike 2 Takedown ver 2 CQC is about: 1. Getting in close to get out of hand/foot striking range 2. Taking the opponent’s base out from under them (takedowns & throws) 3. Causing damage on the way “in” to take out the opponent’s footing TACTICS: what is the defender’s goal? 1. SCREAM and Run awy if can 2. Parry and get in and take opponent’s base 3. Your Decision Determines Your Actions First - Follow through 4. Flow Like Water 5. Keep Your End Goal In Mind (Escape after Takedown) https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

There are many ways to block kicks. For low kicks, it is best to block using knee strikes and countering off of those knee strikes. Kicks to the head require a different strategy to defend against. However, in a real fight, you never know what a kick is actually going unless it is telegraphed and you are able to read that telegraph information within 1 second. Therefore in a street fight, I have found that using the Ryu Kyu Kempo moving cover, though difficult, to be one of the best defense against all kicks. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss
