You can use many different strikes in self-defense situations. The attack's location and proximity will dictate which strike you use. 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. A tightly curled fist is another effective strike.
Outward block
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 where the opponent is trying to hit, this block can be done on the face, midsection or ribs.
Side elbow
The side elbow can be used as a 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 do serious damage if 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. The key is to make sure that your strikes are powerful, resolved quickly, and are repeated.
Rotate your wrists
One of the best self defense techniques is to turn your wrists if you are being grabbed by someone's wrist. This will enable you to escape the attack with minimal force. If the attacker holds you down with a strong grip, you can use your shoulder power to break the hold.
Flattening an attacker's ear using a flat hand
Slapping an assailant with a flat hand can be an effective self-defense technique that can be used to stop an attack. The mandibular angle nerve is located in the ear and is easy to reach with a weak hand. You should secure your hand in your armpit before you slap someone. You can then hit the assailant's ears in the other direction.
Avoid confrontation
Self-defense is all about avoiding confrontation. You only have five seconds to react in a confrontation. Being a target is the last thing you want. To avoid being hit, it is important to stay calm and alert to your surroundings. If an attacker approaches, keep your eyes on the person's back and neck.
