Self-defense skills won't be redundant today. Most rudimentary self-defense techniques focus on knocking down an attacker and being able to escape, however there are some that can disable an attacker if done correctly. Read on for how to do some of these techniques.

Steps

Method 1 of 5: Headbutt

1. 1 Grab the attacker by the shirt. With both hands, grab the attacker by the shirt, closer to the middle of the chest, just below the collar or neck level.
   • The most effective way to head banging someone is to pull them forward with a sharp motion. In order to achieve this, it is necessary, taking the attacker by the shirt, push away, and then sharply pull towards yourself.
   • Avoid grabbing the attacker's neck. It's natural instinct to grab an opponent by the neck and pull their head down to strike, but the problem is that the opponent's neck and shoulders instinctively tense when you grab him, making it much more difficult to pull him forward.
2. 2 Push the attacker away from you. Use all your weight to lean forward onto the attacker until his upper body tilts backward.
   • This movement will cause the opponent to lose his balance and his shoulders to relax.
   • Since this movement will be unexpected, you will also gain an element of surprise in your favor.
3. 3 Pull the attacker towards you quickly. As soon as the shoulders of the attacker relax, with all your hands pull him towards you towards your head.
   • The shoulders will relax - the arms will also open, preventing him from using a block from your head blow.
4. 4 Hit it quickly with the top of your head. At the moment when you pull the attacker towards you, hit his head so that it meets his nose, going down at that moment.
   • Hit with the top of your head, don't hit with your forehead.
   • The nose is a very pressure sensitive point, if you hit with enough force, the enemy will shut down.

Method 2 of 5: Uppercut

1. 1 Stand in the center towards the enemy. Stand straight in front of the attacker so that your vertical line matches his vertical body line.
   • When doing an uppercut, you need to move your hand straight along this center line until you meet your opponent's chin. Thus, you need to position yourself so that the center line of the opponent's body is within reach.
2. 2 Cover your eye with your non-dominant hand. Use your non-dominant hand to cover and eliminate your opponent's block. Keep your hand at eye level so that it attracts attention.
   • Leaving this hand free gives you the opportunity to defend yourself against your opponent's punches, it also distracts her / his attention from your dominant hand.
3. 3 Quickly strike with an open hand under the chin of your opponent. Throw your dominant hand down the centerline of your opponent's body, bending your fingers and hitting the bone in your palm. The palm should go face to face with the attacker.
   • Don't punch.
   • The arm bone is located just above the wrist, it is with it that you must strike the attacker's chin.
4. 4 Hit with the bone of your palm. Strike directly at the bottom of the attacker's chin - his head will jerk back and he will be knocked out.
   • A blow delivered in this way to the desired point will throw the opponent's head back, this will pinch the nerves at the top of the spine - the attacker will lose consciousness.
   • The palm strike gives you a great plane to fight with your bare hands. It also protects your fingers by preventing damage to one of your "weapons" available for combat.

Method 3 of 5: Punching the nose

1. 1 Access to the best hitting path depends on your position. You can punch an attacker in the nose if he / she is in front of you or behind you, but the timing of which punch to hit depends very much on your starting position.
   • If the attacker is in front of you, you will need to move forward.
   • If the attacker is behind you, you will need to attack him as soon as you turn to face him.
2. 2 Attack with the bone of the palm. When facing the attacker, open your palm and strike straight forward, striking the base of the nose and pushing it back.
   • Throw your weight into the attack to give the punch more power.
   • This movement will throw the attacker's head back, pinch the nerves of the upper spine, and if performed with sufficient force, the opponent will lose consciousness.
3. 3 Elbow if the attacker is behind you. If the attacker is behind you, bend and raise your arm so that your elbow is level with your opponent's face. Pivot with your upper body and throw your bent elbow into your opponent's nose.
   • The center of the nose and points on either side of the nose are very sensitive to pressure. If you hit hard enough, you will break your nose and the attacker will fall unconscious.

Method 4 of 5: Kick the Neck

1. 1 Line up with your opponent's center line. This move is especially effective when the attacker comes in from the side, but if your opponent is at a different angle, you will need to turn your stance so that your shoulders are approximately in line with the vertical axis of the attacker.
   • Note that you can use either side to attack, but the maximum strength will be if you turn towards the attacker so as to strike with the dominant side.
2. 2 Step forward and shift your weight as you approach your opponent. As soon as the opponent approaches you, step forward with the leg closest to him and transfer his entire body weight to that front leg.
   • You need to step into the attack on the enemy, and not move back from it.
   • This move only works if your opponent is advancing and actively moving forward. It uses the force of the enemy's oncoming movement to amplify the damage.
3. 3 Aim your elbow directly at the Adam's apple. Raise your elbow up and step into the attack of your opponent, meeting your opponent's Adam's apple and the area around with your elbow.
   • If you hit the Adam's apple at a 45 degree angle, you completely incapacitate your opponent.
   • Even if the technique is not entirely successful, a blow to this painful point with an elbow will be enough to knock the attacker back.

Method 5 of 5: Knee to the Head

1. 1 Start with your defensive distance. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees slightly. The non-dominant leg should be slightly in front of the dominant leg, and the arms should be raised and ready to move.
   • Standing in this position maintains your center of gravity in the center of your body, which allows you to maintain perfect balance.
   • Note that this move may not be performed from a defensive, well-balanced stance, but with it you will have a better chance of knocking out your opponent.
2. 2 Analyze your position in relation to the attacker. The attacker should be broken, while being no further than half the length of your leg.
   • You can knock your opponent down with a knee kick to the groin or a sharp kick to the shin.
   • This movement works best when the attacker has already bent over and removed the defense. Reception works worse if he or she stares at you all the time and tries to get up.
3. 3 Press the attacker's shoulders down. Press down on both shoulders of the attacker with the palm bones.
   • Throw your entire body weight into this movement for maximum strength.
   • Keep your feet in the same stance to maintain balance as you prepare to land a crushing blow.
4. 4 Knee up quickly as you pull the attacker down. Holding the attacker down by the shoulders, strike with your dominant leg a straight blow to the attacker's nose or chin.
   • Act quickly. When you push the attacker down, he will automatically tense his shoulders, resisting you.
   • Aim for the nose or chin to inflict maximum damage and knock out your opponent.

Tips

• Focus on speed. The weight and strength of your arms gives strength to your punches, but speed will give you even more power, which is especially important if you are standing in front of someone who is stronger than you.

Warnings

• Don't use these techniques for no good reason. Every knockout damages brain cells, even in a “safe” context like boxing. Ideally, the movements mentioned above should only be used in self-defense. If you want to practice before applying them, do it on a dummy or with a professional martial arts trainer.
