There are many ways to strike in basic self defense situations. The location and proximity to the attacker will determine which method you should use. For example, if the attacker is on your upper body, you should use your hand. For soft targets, you can strike with a knife hand position or a palm strike. Another striking option is a tightly curled fist.
Block outward
The outward block is similar to a boxer's parry, but instead of taking an opponent's punch, you block them from the outside. Depending on the punch being delivered by the opponent, the block can be performed on the ribs (or midsection) or the face.
Side elbow
The side elbow serves as a defense move. Because the elbow bone has a thicker bone than the fingers, it can block an opponent’s punch with a brick wall. It can inflict serious injuries when used in self-defense.
Eye strike
The eye strike is a basic self defense technique that can be used to incapacitate or enflame an opponent. It can be performed with your thumb, fingers, or thumb. When used properly, it is very powerful. Your strikes should be powerful and quick. They must also be repeated.
Rotate the wrists
Rotating your wrists is a basic self-defense move that you can use if someone tries to grab your wrist. This will enable you to escape the attack with minimal force. If the attacker holds you down with a strong grip, you can use your shoulder power to break the hold.
Slapping an assailant's ear with a flat hand
Slapping an assailant with a flat hand can be an effective self-defense technique that can be used to stop an attack. The mandibular angle nerve is located in the ear and is easy to reach with a weak hand. To avoid slapping your attacker, you should place your hand between the elbow and the armpit. You can then slap the assailant's ear in the opposite direction.
Avoid confrontation
It is essential to avoid confrontation when practicing self-defense. During a confrontation, you only have a few seconds to react and make a move. Being a target is the last thing you want. You can avoid being attacked by staying calm and paying attention to what is going on around. Pay attention to the back, neck, and groin of an attacker when they are approaching.

How To
How to properly apply pepper spray for self defense
Wearing gloves is the best way to ensure you don't accidentally injure yourself while pepper spraying. This will help to prevent accidental firing from the gun.
The second thing to do when using pepper spray is to aim at the eyes. These are the most sensitive parts of the human body, and if the spray hits them, it could cause severe damage. The spray will not cause as much damage if it is directed towards the nose.
When you spray pepper spray, make sure to hold it tightly in your hand. Because if the canister falls, it could burst open and spray everywhere. The trigger should be pressed slowly when you are ready to fire. Keep the trigger down so that pepper spray doesn't go off.
Pepper spray is best if it's directly applied to the eyes. If you are unable to reach the eyes, spray the pepper spray on the nose.
Once the pepper spray hits the mark, the attacker may feel very uncomfortable. He/she might feel nauseated, dizzy, or even dizzy. You may experience intense itching or burning sensations.
Once the attacker is unconscious, you must quickly get to safety. Don't let him/her get near you again. Don't hesitate to call the police.
