5 efficient self defense techniques you can learn on YouTubee
Given the current insecurity, more and more people learn self defense fighting techniques. So for those of you who want to do so, YouTube is a great way to learn simple and effective moves to deal with a risky situation. Here are 5 useful techniques to defend yourself quickly
- Strike vital points
The goal is to quickly stop the aggressor to stop him and target his vital points. Whether with a punch or a kick, the goal is to hit the sensitive parts of your opponent first and then run away. However, your attacker will tend to protect himself by protecting his vital points. Still, you should aim at one of the following four points:
- Eyes,
- Throat,
- Genitals,
- Knees.
Thus, you can escape from a tricky situation, no matter how strong the opponent is, and even if you are quite weak. A strong enough blow will make him react and give you the opportunity to escape.
- Block an uppercut punch
Sometimes the attacker decides to attack and be violent, although you did not do anything… Fortunately, there are solutions to reduce or block the impact of a punch. Of course, since you were not prepared to this, there is no guarantee that you will be able to dodge the blows. But learning how to block a punch to the face is a good basis that will help you in most attacks.
- The greatest defense against strangulation
In the movies, “bad guys” love to strangle their victims. This is pretty much true in real life. To get the upper hand, your attacker may decide to intimidate and threaten you by strangulation. Then your vital points are at risk. Having the right reflexes and the right attitude in such an aggression is an important point, and it is very often one of the first techniques that we teach in clubs. Obviously, this occurs differently in the street, but you get the idea.
- Maintain a safety distance in self defense
Again, this concept is crucial to learn how to defend yourself. Generally, your attacker uses close combat to get into your comfort zone. You must avoid this at all costs. Try as much as you can to maintain a safety distance from him as it will allow you to see more of your environment and to anticipate his movements. Be careful, however, during your training sessions, do not strike out of distance from your opponent, it may be counterproductive in the long run and may not serve you well. You must stick to the conditions of a street fight.
- Deal with a drugged or drunken attacker
Ladies and gentlemen, it can happen that in the evening or late at night, you encounter someone drugged or drunk. Many times, this results in an assault. Knowing how to defend yourself against these potential aggressors can be interesting, since this is a real and frequent situation. Even if I advise women to attend a Krav Maga initiation, knowing some life-saving gestures is important.
