Fighting Options:
Overview

K.I.S.S. – Keep It Simple, Sweetheart
The simplest – and most devastating – fighting options are banned from martial arts tournaments because they're far too harmful. That's precisely why you'll soon learn those strikes – innocent women and children need all the help they can get to escape from a violent predator.

Ironically, the most effective strikes are the simplest, such as eye and groin strikes. They’re simple enough to be learned immediately. Don’t underestimate them because they’re so simple. Almost anyone can quickly learn to use them with devastating results.

Be forewarned, though, that some of the strikes are gruesome. But innocent prey need the absolutely most powerful tools to combat an evil predator. If ever you find yourself in dire straits fighting for your life, and perhaps for a loved one as well, at that desperate moment you’ll be grateful for their devastating power.

In broad daylight on a Los Angeles street, 13-year-old Andrea Cohn saw a man leap over a fence and close in on her. "He grabbed me from behind and twisted my arms back so I wouldn't struggle," Andrea reported. ... "I back-kicked him in the groin, he let go, doubled over, I turned to face him, grabbed his ears and kneed him in the face." He fled.

WHO SURVIVES – AND WHY
Much of what we know about surviving disasters comes from people who have been through them. Their stories are collected in a fascinating and useful new book, “The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes — and Why,” by Amanda Ripley. ... One of the main lessons is that panic, denial and fear may be inevitable during a disaster, but your brain will perform best in a stressful situation if you have already put it through a few rehearsals. “Your brain works by pattern recognition, and when it’s in an extremely frightening situation it sorts through a database for a script,” Ms. Ripley said. “Your brain relies on that memory and responds to it much more quickly and fully than words.” ... The more confidence you have before the event happens, the less debilitating the fear will be and the better your performance will be.”

For convenience, learn self-defense ONLINE:

KRAV MAGA, a practical self-defense system used by many police forces worldwide, teaches you to defend yourself, enhances your survival instinct, and can be applied under extreme stress. It's not flashy, just very effective. I highly recommend it. The Krav Maga TV - Online Training videos are especially convenient to learn at home when your schedule allows or if you don't live near a training center.
