Self defense moves (also known as self defense techniques) are commonly talked about. It seems as though everyone wants to show to you what they think are some of the best self defense techniques or moves. Unfortunately, many of them aren t all that useful. A fair percentage of them just aren t effective in real fighting in self defense situations. That being said, there are some simple moves that you can learn, almost instantly, and they ll allow you to overcome nearly any situation. Now, they do still require practice and training, but you don t need to be any kind of martial arts expert. These are the three best ones...
The first one, and everyone should know this one, is a straightforward front kick to the groin. It doesn t have to be a perfect, martial arts, two chamber, front snap kick to the groin. You just have to make your foot connect with your attacker s groin, and get as much power in the move as possible. And it doesn t have to snap out, it can lift up, push, as long as you re hitting someone in the groin, it s going to take them down. It s not going to take them down for good, but the 10 seconds that they are hurting should be enough time for you to make your escape. By then you could be long gone, out of the door, running away, and that s what we re looking for in self defense. We re not looking to incapacitate, we re looking to allow us time to escape.
Another great one, which is going to be the second of our self defense techniques, is the eye jab. Now, when most people hear about this move, they think of the Bruce Lee, karate, kung fu, two finger poke to the eye; that s just for the movies though, and not what I m referring to here. That technique is actually a bad technique for many reasons. For one, you re only using two fingers. Why not use all four? Obviously your thumb can be considered a finger too, but it s not really effective for eye jabbing because it s behind. But, the first four can be spread out in a fan like motion and thrusted towards someone s face (as close to the eyes as possible). This is great for self defense because you don t have to be that accurate as you ve got fingers to poke just one eye.
The third and final self defense move that s considered an absolute necessity is the ear slap. When you slap someone in the ear, it damages the ear drum, which temporarily affects their balance. A slap to the ear won t cause someone to drop to the ground, but it will give you a couple seconds to follow up with your next self defense. Especially if someone s grabbing onto you, a slap at the ear is a good way to break their hold. They re not going to be able to hold on to you very tightly if they re dizzy and their equilibrium s all thrown off.
