Kick to the groin The groin area is definitely a vulnerable spot. The forearm strike is a linear attack, whereas the elbow strike is a circular one. PS: Although this movement looks similar to the forearm strike, it's different. Like with every move, rotate your hips, push with your rear leg and keep your core stable.Right after impact, strike his neck, jaw, cheekbone, or temple with a circular elbow strike.Again, extend your arm to a 45° angle and aim in a straight line for the side of your opponent's jaw/cheekbone.The force of the blow can definitely break or even knockout an aggressor. The elbow strikes is a short-range weapon, so it has to be used when the aggressor is close to you. Even a kid or a petite woman can generate an incredible amount of force with this movement.

The forearm strike is a technique that I systematically tech during self-defense classes. Forearm Strike The forearm strike is one of my favorite close combat strikes. Rotate your hips for maximum power, keep your core solid and push with your rear leg.Ģ.Right after impact, launch your rear palm strike to the nose or the jaw.This first strike is done mainly to disturb and block your opponent's vision. Step forward and aim for either the attacker's nose or jaw. ![]() Using the heel of the palm to your attacker's nose, jaw, or ear can not only cause severe damage, but it can potentially knock him out cold. Palm strikes are a safe and effective alternative to the punch. If you punch your opponent's head in a self-defense situation, there are high chances you'll end up damaging or even breaking your hand. Palm Strikes The palm strike is a safe and effective alternative to the punch. It's quite hard to defend yourself when you have someone hands in your face. Of course, it can do damage, but its purpose is essentially to partly block or disturb your aggressor's vision, giving you a better chance to land your most devastating blow. Please note that the first strike that you'll deliver should be seen as a diversion rather than a knockout blow. ![]() Regarding the following techniques, you'll notice that each technique is composed of two or more strikes.

It's a self-defense guard, and we develop for our Seionryu Karate and self-defense classes. The guard that I propose to you is different from other guards you have seen. If you can connect with your strikes, it should give you a few precious seconds to make your escape (run). It's important to understand that the goal is NOT to exchange blows with your attacker, BUT to escape and stay alive.
