Real Street Fighting Moves

I just got an urgent chat request from one of my Facebook friends. It doesn’t get any better than this.  A live on-call help of a lady in distress.  A lady whom we will call Nadine.  (Her real name is withheld for respect to her privacy.) But the chat that you read below is unedited and just happened only minutes ago.

When she contacted me, in that very instant, was a crazed neighbor trying to break into her home, and cause her harm.  I immediately got on the phone with Master David D’Antonio, and began to give him the play-by-play of what was happening.

She would tell me something.  I would relay it to David.  David would give me the self-protection advice.  I would then relay it back to her.  Following is the exact transcript of the call:

Nadine

8:48amCharles

Hi Nadine, how are you today? Go for it. Let’s hear it.

8:50amNadine

Can he possibly get to your door?

8:52amNadine

8:54amNadine

he said he told his last neighbours to leave or they would leave in a body bag

8:55amCharles

Get a knife and tie it to the end of a broom with duct tape, and if he enters, swing it wildly at him if he breaks in.

8:55amNadine

8:56amCharles

Push some furniture, something heavy against the door.

8:56amNadine

8:57amCharles

Take cell phone, weapon, and computer and go into the bathroom with your dogs.

8:57amNadine

8:57amCharles

If you have any eternal lights on turn them on immediately around your property.

8:58amNadine

8:58amCharles

ok. If you have the phone number of a friend, neighbor or family member call them until the police comes.

Keep calling the police over and over again until they come.

8:59amNadine

9:01amNadine

9:01amCharles

Call the police again and tell them that he no longer is in his house but he is trying to kick in your door now as we speak.

Call and tell your friends and family to call the police to come again because there is strength in numbers.

Fiona knows how to work it!

When we talk about self defense and self protection, we usually assume that it is between two macho men slugging it out.  But the reality remains that many, many women are also assaulted by men.  And a woman cannot be expected to go toe-to-toe exchanging blows with a man.  In fact, no intelligent male fighter should go toe-to-toe with an aggressor.

Though there are many possible techniques that are ideal for saving a woman from peril, here, I want to give you the single most under-used but most effective counter attack available to a man or a woman.

Let us first examine the type of self defense situation a woman usually finds herself.  Unlike that of a man, she is usually grabbed from the front or from behind.  Because a typical man is larger than the average woman, a great majority of male to female assaults involve a man encircling his arms around the shoulders or arms of the woman.

His hands are occupied, and true the lady’s arms are circled, but she does have something that is free and that is unexpected.  Her head.  One of the most destructive and devastating counter attacks is the head butt.

But let me carefully explain how it must be executed.  The area on your head that you must strike with is that part of the head that is maybe just a half of an inch or so below the area where the forehead meets the hairline.  This is the hardest area of your head.  Aim for the nose, and use the hairline area of your head as the striking surface.

When you smash into the nose with the right force, a total knockout is almost guaranteed.

So, be smart, ladies.  Use your head.
