| Personal Self Defense Tactics T.E.K. |
| These are very simple and effective defensive combat techniques that may increase your chances of surviving an attack. Please note that the Incredible Hulk in the background is for anatomical target reference only. The descriptions are organized by priority of targets followed by the effective body weapon(s) to use for that target and the theoretical basis for the attack. Disclaimer: Use the following advice at your own risk. |
| 2. Target: EYES Weapon(s): thumb strike, finger jabs "A man can't fight if he can't see." *note: potential for permanent blindness. |
| 1. Target: THROAT Weapon(s): elbow strike, thumb strike, knife hand chop "A man can't fight if he can't breath." *note: possible death |
| 3. Target: KNEES Weapon(s): side kick, roundhouse kick "A man can't fight if he can't stand." *note: potential for permanent crippling. |

| The objective of self defense is pure survival and not brawling. These techniques are the last line of defense in an overall spectrum. Measures for awareness of danger, avoidance, deterrence and flight should be implemented as your first options. If there is no other choice than to fight for your life then do so with full force and determination to win. This means striking hard, fast and often where it counts. I share this knowledge so that it maybe used to protect and save innocent lives against those who would take them. Just Remember the acronym "TEK" (Throat, Eyes, Knees), preferably in that order. |
