Kickboxing as a self-defense is a concentration on their punches, knees and feet: at a fast pace, you need to send blows to all available places. If the attacker has a knife or gun, then at arm's length, he will use the weapon.

Thus, the defender has in his" arms " - arms, legs, knees, elbows and head. In order to protect yourself you should just go to the side of the attacker (who has any weapon), and make a kick right in his chin as much as possible. This martial art is rich in this kind of movement, and teaches practitioners to perform them with unprecedented speed as quickly as possible before the opponent can react.

In karate, special emphasis is placed on deflection during an attack. Most blows with hands or a knife are carried out, as a rule, with an attack from the malefactor in Your party.

Thus, when you step aside, you create side lines in relation to the hand of the attacker, deviating from the impact, and then you can quickly strike at the lower part of the torso: belly go back. To defend in such a situation is extremely difficult, and most likely, he will not be able to do it.
Push forward and further knee kick to the quadriceps (thigh muscle) will make him crazy pain. Blows to the solar plexus can disable it as effectively as a blow to the groin.

Interesting martial arts, the style of which is immediately recognizable. Aikido is based on the principle that an attacker's attacks are redirected to those who are forced to defend themselves.

He has a black belt in Aikido, and his signature move is essential in the Arsenal for any self-defense: Kote gaeshi, or "throw a coup with the brush”. It is unlikely that Your opponent will fight after such a reception. Aikido is rich in other techniques that do not require a special speed of execution, compared with Kote gaeshi, and are very effective in order to stop and paralyze the attacker.

6. Martial Arts JIU-Jitsu

Ju-Jitsu-the most universal style from the list of the single combats presented by us. This is a real hybrid, which incorporates elements of grappling, heavy defeat, eye gouging, suffocation, bites, as well as the struggle of the center of gravity of the defender against the center of gravity of the attacker.
One of the basic techniques of this martial art is quite simple: you carry out your throw in the direction of the attacker, lowering your center of gravity under it, and pull it on yourself. This technique is simple and effective. If an attacker attacks with a weapon, you can catch his hand, and strike at the collarbone, and then push it back and down than will be able to fix the weapon in his hands and break the enemy.

If the opponent makes a direct or circular kick, he will lean on the other leg. Ignoring the strike, you will need to set a trap with his foot and strike to his knee, trying to knock him off balance and thereby to push back, striking on his raised leg.
He will begin to fall down and is unlikely to be able to lose his balance to strike back. If an attacker rushes forward, You must not move backwards. You must begin to move forward as he is, and bend over to take him by the shoulders with one hand, and the other to grab him by the back and fold it over your shoulder, pushing up with both feet. A woman weighing 50 kg will be able to cope with this task. When he falls down, you can catch his hands and twist them into the castle.

Bruce Lee envisioned a "style without style" that in itself seems meaningless. But it is worth trying to understand the concept of Jeet Kune Do. Lee stressed that, above all: "the worst thing You can do is anticipate the outcome of the fight. You don't have to think about anything, only enemy attacks and your response should take place.

Many of us have heard stories of would-be robbers who chose the wrong ways of protection and were eventually caught red-handed. Any battle usually ends with one blow. And that's all a boxer has to do. Boxers are able to strike faster, stronger and more accurately than any other trained Fighter on the planet. This is because boxers train on average for about 4 years just to hit correctly. They are not allowed, for example, to kick their opponent, so all they have as a weapon of struggle – their hands.

Boxers also work out techniques, as well as in any other martial arts – constantly and consistently, every day to strengthen their muscles for endurance and resistance. They don't look like bodybuilders, but their muscles are as strong and firm as those of rural farmers. Boxers strike a blow, block, evade strike, re-strike, block, evade strike ago.
