At times we understate how an efficient strike(s) can save our life.
A well-placed
strike to a vulnerable part of an attacker can be the difference maker.
Besides the physical impact, his ability to adapt his can be severely disabled.
This certainly
applies to escaping various chokes and holds. One example is release from the
front choke. Plucking the attacker's wrists with speed can open up your airway.
(see above video)
There are times,
however, when stress and/or the assailant's brute strength makes this very
difficult.
This
is where striking matters. A knee or kick to the assailant’s groin can help
loosen his grip as his focus - even for a split second- is on his pain.
This moment
might be enough to save your life.
Stay Safe,
