Women's self-defense techniques
If you're a woman, you've probably heard about women's self-defense techniques. Many of these are overrated. Punching someone in the ribs, for example, is not a good idea because most women don’t know how hard to punch. Earm strikes, such as elbow strikes or knee strikes, are also a bit overrated. These are very effective against larger people but are not as effective at close range. It is not a good idea to kick someone in the head.
Students learn self-defense skills in a wide range of situations. Students learn slow-motion and full-power techniques. They also learn body-shaping techniques to strike back. They will also be taught biomechanics and how they can move to their highest power.
Striking to your groin
One of the best motivators for self defense is the fear of being struck in the groin. This is an extremely vulnerable area, and very few people can survive an attack without having some sort of reaction. These methods are not practical in real life. You might have seen some novelty martial arts, such as how to break steel bars with your hands and poke an apple with your fingernails.
Mirela teaches how to strike to the stomach in this video. The basic idea is to strike with the outside of your target's groin, driving your knee forward. A front kick to the groin can be done by pointing your feet toward the target.
Striking continuously on the Bob Dummy
An important skill for any martial artist is the ability of striking continuously on a Bob Dummy. It is essential that you can strike repeatedly for several seconds. Here is where you can purchase a Bob Dummy. This exercise will help improve your strikes and keep you opponent guessing.
The BOB dummy is made out of polyethylene and has a sturdy base that can support 270 pounds of sand. Its dimensions are thirty inches long and twenty-two inches wide. Its height is about 19 inches. It weighs about five to six and a half pounds. You can practice self-defense moves and essential combat moves with the Bob dummy, such as cross and uppercuts.
Elbow strike
Elbow strikes are a powerful weapon when you are very close to your attacker and wish to knock them off balance. To get your opponent off balance you might try a lunging elbow attack. This strike will hurt him or her in multiple directions. Videos on self defense can help you learn how to throw an elbow strike.
There are two basic types of elbow strikes: the horizontal and the vertical. The horizontal strike is the simplest, and it is also the easiest to learn. This strike works well both in close range and in the clinch.
