You can use many different strikes in self-defense situations. The attack's location and proximity will dictate which strike you use. For example, if the attacker is on your upper body, you should use your hand. For soft targets, you can strike with a knife hand position or a palm strike. Another strike that works is to curl your fist tightly is the fist.
Block outward
The outward blocking is similar to a boxer’s parry but you do not take the opponent's punch. Instead, you block them outside. This block can either be done on the ribs, face or midsection depending upon where the opponent is going with his punch.
Side elbow
The side elbow is an effective defensive move. It is a useful defensive move because the elbow bone is thicker than the bone in your hand. This means it can be used to block an opponent from punching. It can inflict severe damage when used in self defense.
Eye strike
The eye strike can be used to inflict or excite an opponent and is a very basic form of self defense. 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
If someone tries grab you by the wrists, the best defense is to rotate your wrists. This will allow for you to escape from the attack using the least force possible. You can also use your shoulder power to free yourself from a hold by the attacker if they are holding you down with a firm grip.
Flattening an assailant’s ear with your flat hand
Slapping an assailant with a flat hand can be an effective self-defense technique that can be used to stop an attack. It is easy to reach the mandibular angle nerve with a weak arm. It is best to place your hand at the armpit when you are slapping someone. Then you can go the opposite way and slap him/her in the ear.
Avoid confrontation
Avoiding confrontation is an essential part of self-defense. You only have two seconds to react to a confrontation and make a move. You don't want to be a target. 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.
