| ANATOMY |
| First off a basic knowledge and understanding of human anatomy is needed so that you will know where and how to hit and what will be the effect on the attacker of your strike. It is ok to THINK you know it will hurt in these areas but I want to KNOW it will hurt getting hit in these areas. Basically there are 5-6 simple areas to hit a person and drop them instantly (there are more, but are harder to hit, so to keep these methods simple and not clutter you up with countless difficult techniques I have ommitted them to concentrate on the simplest easiest targets). 1 : The first place to score is the knee joint , this is only strengthened by cartilage and ligaments which can be easily broken , thereby rendering the knee inoperable . If your attacker can not move on one leg effectively then you have won. 2 : The second place to score is the testicles of the males , everyone (male and female) knows of this vunerable area for men , so I don't need to go into it further. 3 : The third place to score a hit is the Solar Plexus which is situated where your ribcage extends upwards at the front of your chest to its highest point , behind this area is the lungs and heart which are two vital organs , and when stuck here hard enough it will cause the thoracic (chest) cavity to compress into the lungs causing great loss of breath to the assailant. 4 : The fourth place to score a hit is the throat area , your windpipe (larynx) is made of cartilaginous tissue and therefore easily damaged and destroyed. There are also the major blood vessels in this area (the carotid arteries and jugular veins) that carry the blood to and from the brain and if restricted for any length of time can cause unconsciousness and even death. 5 : The last place to score a hit that I will tell you here is the eyes, this is pretty obvious too !, as anyone knows that if you get poked in the eyes you can't see, and if you can't see you can't fight. You can also render permanent damage to your attacker if necessary. |
