ATTACK TECHNIQUE NUMBER 6

THE GROIN

 

If you are going to go on the offense, and you most certainly should if you are being attacked, you need to go for the most vulnerable targets.

 

The most vulnerable area for any man is the groin. We’ve all seen movies where a man gets hit or kicked in the groin and after a minute or two he is fine.

 

I’m here to tell you that’s only in the movies. A kick or punch at this target area will drop your attacker instantly and he will stay down for an extended period of time unable to do anything except hold himself.

 

If your caught in a bear hug you may have a difficult time kicking or punching this target, but if your hand is close enough, grab him, squeeze hard like you mean to rip it clean off, and I guarantee you he won’t be hugging you anymore.

INTRODUCTION A number of self defense techniques in this course are based on the martial arts. However this course is not about martial arts, it is about protecting yourself, or a loved one in danger. A lot of people learn the martial arts for self defense, but I have to admit, I’m not one hundred percent on board with this being the main reason. While it is true that the techniques of martial arts are very well adapted for self defense, I would hope most would study and practice it for the love of the art, physical fitness, and self improvement. However, I suppose that if you choose to study and practice a martial art, and your reason for doing so is self defense, then I guess that’s okay, at least you are learning for a reason.

MY TRAINING I lived in Japan for two years where I was trained by a tenth degree black belt grandmaster in Shotokan Karate, an orthodox Japanese style created in Okinawa, earning a brown belt. After returning to the United States, I trained for three more years by an eighth degree black belt grandmaster from Korea in Tae Kwon Do and Hap Ki Do, earning a black belt. The self defense techniques in this program are based on my five years of formal martial arts training.   I borrowed techniques from my Shotokan Karate training and my Hap Ki Do training, in designing this self defense program.
