One of the many questions we get asked is how to strike an attacker. Depending on the situation, there are many options that can be presented to you.

The first thing you always want to do is to diffuse the situation so you can avoid the confrontation from getting physical. However, if that doesn’t work, then you always need to go pre-emptive to protect yourself.

One of the best hits is the throat shot. The throat strike is great when you’re in a position with your arms crossed in front of you so all you do is basically strike your attacker in the throat with your arm by bringing it forward.

The reason why the throat strike is so powerful is because you’re putting the whole force of your body behind your punch when you go in to hit your attacker.

It’s also a great strike because you hit your attacker with the whole length of your arm. If done correctly, you can easily stop your attacker because you’re aiming his neck which is a very sensitive area with the nerves.

Even if you do flinch, because you’re using the whole length of your arm, you’re still going to aim the facial area of your attacker.

Make sure to practice these moves with your partner so you can work on your timing and position.
