The odds of the 10 attacks - see previous post

Most of the self defence training we see is against a swinging punch to the head. One is a reactive attack and the 2nd is a "pre-emptive" type of attack.

In the first attack, you - as the defender - have pushed your attacker away, and he simply comes straight back at you with a swinging punch to the head.

Now, as 85% of people are right handed,most people would suggest you train for only a right hand attack; I suggest train for both: the defence is the same.

You either go in with 100% commitment or you get OUT with 100% commitment.

As for, attacks 3, 4 & 5, Any type of clothing grab means trouble!

For one, you have let your opponent get too close

Practice maintaining your distance. Then move onto the grab,. This is because you
got it wrong and did not maintain distance.Then practice the grab from different
scenarios, e.g. a surprise grab, or an argument then a grab etc.

This is why our training comprises of before & after - before anything goes wrong & what happens after the Karma theory comes into place.

Completely ignore the grabbing arm/s- just maintain a point of control. If you try to do anything with them
you will be hit. Try it and see. Wear a headguard, have someone wear a boxing glove
and grab you and try to K.O you.

If you ignore the grabbing hand and just attack you will be OK, not KO! If you
try to block you are doomed, from our training experience about 7 out of 10 times.

In training, when trying to do something with the grabbing arm the defender loses
10 out of 10.

And that ain't bad !
