Better Fists for Self-Defense

4 FISTS THAT ARE BETTER FOR SELF-DEFENSE
THAN THE CONVENTIONAL CLENCHED FIST
Let me ask you a question: If the odds are already against you in a self-defense attack, on the street, in your home, or wherever a determined attacker who’s targeted you decides it’ll happen – why would you aggravate things more by increasing your disadvantage? I mean, you’d have to be nuts to do something to hurt yourself, and help your attacker in the process – to do anything that would make you, as one of my teachers used to call it…
“an accomplice to YOUR OWN butt-kicking,” right?
This article is about avoiding doing just that. In it, I share with you the number one reason why I avoid teaching my students to use a standard clenched fist when striking your assailant’s face in a self-defense street attack – at least in the way that most people use it. And, I’m going to give you 4 strikes that are much better for getting the results you want, without the same risk in the process!
But first, let me share with you the number one reason that you’d have to be crazy to punch someone in the face with a clenched fist. HINT: It’s the same lesson that even professional fighters who use it on the street… learn too late why it’s, more often than not, a really bad idea!
Ready?
Because you’ll probably damage your own hand in the process.
Don’t believe me? How can this be so? After all, isn’t that what everyone does?
For the most part, the answer is “Yes.” But, at what price?
