Jab your thumbs to the eyes and push deep, sharp blow up under the nose with the palm of a closed fist. Hit the ears with your fists, slam your shoe onto his instep.
I was attacked once and pulled down by my hair. I used an elbow to bust his nose and clawed his cheek, and he let me up. I grabbed a knife and he left. Crazy fucking family member.
LOL I've had shit like that happen to me in public by strangers, and the fucking cops blame you for defending yourself. They wouldn't even hand my knife back to me. I had to keep pushing and one of them insisted on putting inside a zipped pocket of my bag. Of course he was doing an illegal search and that was his in.
Jab your thumbs to the eyes and push deep,
Retarded. It sounds so easy. "Just kick/grab their balls and gouge their eyes, then press your fingers into their throat"- all of this pressure point bullshit is useless garbage that doesn't work.
Absolute proof that eye gouging doesn't work- how many murderers who used strangling to kill are missing eyeballs? How many serial rapists have crushed testicles or fucked up eyeballs? You don't think a rape victim is desperately scratching at her attacker's face? All that'll do is piss him off, and then he'll strike the victim from a position of strength. Rape victims have their attacker on top of them, with their balls hanging out- shouldn't the victims just be able to grab their balls and crush them, and thus end the rape/murder? But that doesn't happen. Why? Because it doesn't work.
Pressure points are bullshit in a fight. One of the greatest things mass video surveillance has given us is thousands of hours of fight footage, from all kinds of circumstances- from competition, to silly street fights, to desperate struggles of life/death. And none of the combatants ever get stopped or put down with a fucking eye poke or a groin grab. Fights get ended with knockouts or ferocious stunning strikes, blows to the chin/jaw/temple are easiest for KO. Strikes to the nose are great for stunning and setting up a follow-up strike for a KO.
Hit the ears with your fists,
This is actually good stuff. You can see this in combat sports, often called an "equilibrium shot": strikes to the ear/just behind the ear can KO someone, but they will almost always make them dizzy and shake up their brain a bit. Foot stomping is great too, when clinched up with your opponent. Also use shoulder strikes, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwG57TsYS-M
You also mention using the palm- this is wise. Boxers/MMA fighters/kickboxers wear gloves not to protect their opponent's skull- they wear gloves to keep their hands from breaking. It's really easy to break your bare hand when you punch a skull, especially if you hit the hard parts of the skull. However, if you use the Bas Rutten style of palm strike- pull your hand as far back as possible, and "punch" with the bone of your wrist just beneath the palm, you can throw straights/hooks/uppercuts etc. with the same technique as though you were using a fist.
I just wish people would stop with the "just grab their groin" or other pressure point type nonsense. We know it's bullshit, we know it doesn't work against a determined attacker.
