There are many ways to strike in basic self defense situations. The attacker's location and nearness will dictate the best strike. Your hand should be used if the attacker lies on your upper body. For soft targets, you can strike with a knife hand position or a palm strike. Another striking option is a tightly curled fist.
Blockade outward
The outward blocks are similar to a boxer’s counter, but instead you take your opponent's punch and block them from outside. Depending on where the opponent is trying to hit, this block can be done on the face, midsection or ribs.
Side elbow
The side elbow is an effective defensive move. The elbow bone is thicker that the bones in the hands, so it can be used as an opponent's brick wall. It can inflict severe damage when used in self defense.
Eye strike
The eye strike is a simple self-defense technique that can be used in order to incapacitate an opponent or inflame them. You can execute it with your thumb or fingers. This technique is very effective when done properly. The key is to make sure that your strikes are powerful, resolved quickly, and are repeated.
Rotate your wrists
Rotating your wrists is a basic self-defense move that you can use if someone tries to grab your wrist. This will allow for you to escape from the attack using the least force possible. You can use your shoulder strength to break the hold of an attacker who holds you down.
Flattening an assailant’s ear with your flat hand
An effective self-defense tactic that can stop an attack is to slap an assailant flat on the hand. The mandibular angle nerve is located in the ear and is easy to reach with a weak hand. It is best to place your hand at the armpit when you are slapping someone. You can then hit the assailant's ears in the other direction.
Avoiding confrontation
Avoiding confrontation is essential for self-defense. You only have a few seconds in which to respond and make a move during a confrontation. You don't want to be a target. You can avoid getting attacked by being calm and aware of your surroundings. Focus on the attacker's neck, back, and legs when he approaches.
