Section 1-1 The Basics
This file will explain the basics of hand-to-hand combat, and will tell of the best places to strike and kill an enemy. When engaged in hand-to-hand combat, your life is always at stake. Never face an enemy with the idea of knocking him out. The chances are extremely good that he will kill YOU instead.
Section 1-2 Tactics
Always try to throw your enemy off balance. You can do this by charging the enemy and pretending to strike him. This will make him flinch and lose his balance. Always look for a weak spot and attack it. Whenever he leaves a vulnerable part of his body unprotected attack it with all your strength. By doing this, he will then try to protect the part of his body that you just struck thus leaving even more unprotected parts open.
Section 1-3 Foul Play
In a life or death situation there is no such thing as foul play and there are no rules either. Although hitting someone in the groin is considered a cheap shot in high school, it is a very effective way of destroying your enemy. Just hit him where you can and kick him when he's down. That way, he will never get back up again.
Section 1-4 Attacking
Attacking is a primary factor. A fight was never won by defensive action. Attack with all of your strength. At any point or any situation, some vulnerable point on your enemies body will be open for attack.
I have been trained in many styles of fighting, anything from Shoot fighting and grappling, to Muay Thai Kick Boxing and Pit Fighting. The element of surprise is your best friend. The earlier that you surprise your enemy, the better your chances are of walking away from a fight. It is not good idea when you enter a fight, if you dance around in a circle for a few minutes, sizing each other up. As soon as you know that a fight in inevitable, one quick move can catch your opponent off guard.
Your balance and balance of your enemy are two important factors; since, if you succeed in making your enemy lose his balance, the chances are nine to one that you can kill him in your next move. The best over-all stance is where your feet are spread about shoulder width apart, with your left foot about a foot ahead of the right, if you are right handed, vise verse if you are left handed. Both arms should be bent at the elbows parallel to each other, at or about chest height. Stand on the balls of your feet and bend your waist slightly forward, kinda of like a boxer's crouch. Employing a sudden movement or a scream or yell can throw your enemy off-balance. There are many vulnerable points of the body. We will cover them now.
