Module 1 - Escape The Flash - Bang Strategy This is a most simplistic method of Self Defence. Maybe the pressure, confusion or adrenalin has affected you to a point so you cannot remember even simple techniques but all you have to remember here is that you have to strike back to a weak point. Just remember no attack on you goes unanswered! The Flash Bang is a concept used by Military and Police Forces. It is a device that may be used to clear a room for example. It's thrown into the area required and makes a very sudden bright flash, followed by a very loud bang and lots of smoke. It's used with great effect to startle and create confusion before sending personnel to take care of a situation. We can use this same concept to deal with an attacker. Think of yourself as a small grenade, nice to look at but when your pin is pulled you explode with everything you have. Ensure you strike in combinations of no less than three. The reason is because one strike from you will be blocked, two strikes might well be but three strikes and beyond become almost impossible for the average person to stop, especially if they are well aimed strikes delivered with ferocity. Switch your strikes between various Targets. Always aim for those weak and sensitive areas where you will get maximum results. The eyes, nose, throat, solar plexus, groin, femoral nerves, shin, instep and so on. Stick to the rule of striking hard to soft or soft to hard such as palm to head, palm to nose, and elbows to mid section. Strike with speed and rotate your body into strikes to maximize power. Shout as you strike startling the attacker, attracting attention and creating witnesses to the assault. If it's a predator type of attack then this may well be all that's required for them to abort as they were not looking for a fight but just an easy meal. Whatever type of attacker it is, react quickly and get the confrontation finished with as quickly as possible, get yourself to safety and always report an incident to the Police. When you practice, experiment with different combinations. See which combinations you feel most comfortable with and which ones you think are most effective. Practice shouting out loud phrases like “Let go” or “Leave me alone”. Anything that is going to attract attention and let other people know that it's you being attacked. This may be vital evidence if you end up being the one who causes serious harm to the attacker. If you practice striking regular enough, your methods of striking can become instinctive. Remember that you do not have to wait to be attacked in order to defend yourself, provocation is enough. If you really feel threatened enough by someone then you have the right to defend yourself. If you wait to be attacked, it could well be too late. WWW.FIGHTWIZE.COM
