| This file will teach you how you can kill another person with your own two | |
| hands. The information presented here will be very helpful to the beginner and | |
| will also serve as a refresher for those of you already familiar with the | |
| subject. | |
| I will start off by talking about basic things such as stance, what you should | |
| and shouldn't do when fighting and other information that the beginner will | |
| need to know. Then, I will give you a list of over 20 vulnerable points that | |
| one should always try attacking in a fight along with the way these points | |
| should be attacked. Finally, I will give you some more fighting tips and | |
| information on how you can continue learning about hand-to-hand combat. | |
| ^*^ | |
| Now, let me discuss some of the basics you will need to know when you are in | |
| any combat situation. | |
| Stance | |
| ------ | |
| The best stance when confronting an enemy is to put your feet at shoulders | |
| length apart and your arms should be facing forward, parallel to each other and | |
| bent at the elbows. Keep your knees slightly bent and stand on the balls of | |
| your feet. | |
| Remember, you always want to maintain this stance when you are not striking at | |
| the enemy. | |
| Balance | |
| ------- | |
| It is always important that you keep your balance. If you use the stance I have | |
| described above, you will never have to worry about it. If by chance you do | |
| lose your balance even for a second you can kiss your ass goodbye as the enemy | |
| will probably kill you. | |
| Aggressiveness | |
| -------------- | |
| Always be aggressive and always attack. Don't just stand back and defend | |
| yourself against the enemy's strikes as he will end up killing you eventually. | |
| If you are not aggressive, the enemy will think you are scared and he will have | |
| an advantage over you. | |
| A great thing to do is yell at the enemy. This will scare the shit out of him | |
| if you start yelling at him and plus it also allows you to get more oxygen in | |
| your lungs so you will have more strength. | |
| Natural Weapons | |
| --------------- | |
| Your natural weapons are as follows: knife edge of either hand, the heel of | |
| your hands, your fingers folded at the second knuckle, your boot, your elbow, | |
| your knees, your teeth, your fore finger and second finger forming a "V" shape, | |
| and your fist. These body parts alone are some of the most powerful weapons you | |
| can use. | |
| ^*^ | |
| Since you now know the basics of fighting, let me list for you the best places | |
| where you should strike your enemy. | |
| Temple | |
| ------ | |
| A sharp blow to the temple ensures instant death since there is a large artery | |
| and nerve located close to the skin surface. If you give a medium blow to the | |
| temple it will cause severe pain and concussion but a hard blow will kill the | |
| enemy instantly. The best way to strike the temple is with the knife edge of | |
| your hand or if he is on the ground you can kick him with the toe of your boot. | |
| Eyes | |
| ---- | |
| The eyes are a great place to strike if you can since a good strike in the eyes | |
| will cause temporary or permanent blindness. To blind the enemy, make a "V" | |
| shape with your fore finger and second finger and stick them into his eyes | |
| while keeping your fingers stiff. Also, you can gouge the eyes with your thumb. | |
| Nose | |
| ---- | |
| The nose is another excellent place to attack. Hit the bridge with the knife | |
| edge of your hand and you will cause breakage, severe pain, temporary blindness | |
| and even death. Or you can use the palm of your hand to strike upwards and push | |
| the nose up into his brain. If done hard enough the nose bone will puncture his | |
| brain and he will die. | |
| Upper Lip | |
| --------- | |
| The upper lip contains a lot of nerves close to the skin surface so if you | |
| strike it with the knife edge of your hand it will cause great pain and if | |
| delivered hard enough he will become unconscious. | |
| Mouth | |
| ----- | |
| If the enemy is on the ground, use the heel of your boot and strike him on the | |
| mouth. Since there are a lot of veins and arteries in the teeth there will be a | |
| lot of blood which will frighten the enemy and he will lose concentration on | |
| defending other parts of his body. | |
| Chin | |
| ---- | |
| The chin should only be struck with the palm of your hand as you can break your | |
| fingers on the enemy's chin. Use the palm of your hand and strike the enemy | |
| with a very strong upward blow. This will cause extreme discomfort. | |
| Adam's Apple | |
| ------------ | |
| Usually the enemy will defend this part of his body well but if you do get the | |
| chance give it a sharp hit with the knife edge of your hand. If you hit it hard | |
| enough you will bust his windpipe and he will die. You can also squeeze the | |
| Adam's Apple between your fingers. | |
| Esophagus | |
| --------- | |
| If you have a chance to get a hold of his neck, press your thumbs into his | |
| esophagus (located below the Adam's Apple). Pushing hard will be very painful | |
| and it will block the oxygen flow to his lungs and he will die quickly. | |
| Neck | |
| ---- | |
| If you give a very strong blow to the base of the neck with the knife edge of | |
| your hand you will usually break it. However, if it is not hard enough, the | |
| enemy might just be knocked unconscious so be sure to hit him in the temple or | |
| twist his neck around to be sure he is dead. The neck is the best place to hit | |
| someone if you want to be quiet as it is quick and the enemy goes down without | |
| a word. | |
| Collar Bone | |
| ----------- | |
| The collar bone is an extremely sensitive part of the body. A sharp blow to it | |
| with the knife edge of your hand or your elbow gives the enemy excruciating | |
| pain. Also, digging your finger into the collar bone can bring your enemy to | |
| his knees. | |
| Shoulder | |
| -------- | |
| The shoulder is easy dislocated and it takes little strength to do. However, it | |
| should be done quickly. Grab the enemy's arm and pull it behind his back and | |
| then jerk it upwards quickly. You should here a popping sound which means you | |
| have dislocated the enemy's shoulder. There are other methods of doing this but | |
| this is the easiest. | |
| Armpit | |
| ------ | |
| Although it is hard to get at, the armpit has a large network of nerves. If the | |
| enemy is on the ground, hold up his arm and then kick him in his pit. This will | |
| cause severe pain. However, it is not a very common place that will be struck | |
| in a fight but is good to keep in mind anyways. | |
| Rib Cage | |
| -------- | |
| A strike to the rib cage with your fingers folded at the second knuckle is | |
| rather painful and if done hard enough causes severe pain and breakage. Only | |
| use your fingers folded at the second knuckle since that hurts the most. | |
| Solar Plexus | |
| ------------ | |
| The solar plexus is located on the chest at the little "V" shaped point where | |
| the rib cage ends. There are a large amount of nerves so a blow with the | |
| knuckle of your second finger can cause severe pain and even unconsciousness. | |
| Floating Ribs | |
| ------------- | |
| The floating ribs are the lower ribs located at the front and sides of the | |
| enemy's body. Use the knife edge of your hand or the heel or toe of your boot. | |
| The blow will cause pain and will stun the enemy. | |
| Spine | |
| ----- | |
| A blow to the spine with the heel of your boot can paralyze or kill your enemy. | |
| The lower spine between the enemy's kidneys is the best place to hit as that is | |
| the least protected part of the spine. You will only be able to attack the | |
| spine when your enemy is on the ground or if his back is turned to you. | |
| Kidneys | |
| ------- | |
| The kidneys have two large nerves that are close to the skin surface. If you | |
| strike the kidneys hard it will cause death. You can use a fist or the knife | |
| edge of your hand to hit the kidneys. Or a kick with the heel of your boot will | |
| work too. | |
| Groin | |
| ----- | |
| The groin is a good place to strike if you get the chance. Generally, the enemy | |
| will protect this area the most but if you have a chance, strike it with your | |
| knee in an upward motion or with your fist. I'm sure you can imagine the pain | |
| the enemy will get from it. | |
| Tailbone | |
| -------- | |
| The tailbone which is located above the anus is a very sensitive part of the | |
| body as a lot of spinal nerves are located there. Use the toe of your boot to | |
| strike the tailbone. The pain from that is unbelievably severe. | |
| Elbow | |
| ----- | |
| The elbow is easy to break or dislocate. Pull the enemy's arm behind him and | |
| with the palm of your hand push his elbow inwards until it either cracks or | |
| pops. When the enemy has a useless arm, you have a great advantage over him. | |
| Fingers | |
| ------- | |
| The fingers should be broken because the enemy becomes almost helpless with | |
| broken fingers. Grab the enemy's arm with one hand and with the other hand push | |
| the fingers upwards until they snap. It is only necessary to break the first | |
| two fingers. It is also helpful in breaking a grip. | |
| Knee | |
| ---- | |
| You can destroy the knee by kicking it with the side of your boot in an upward | |
| motion. This will rip the ligaments and the cartilage. This will cause | |
| unbelievable pain and make it impossible for the enemy to move around. Once a | |
| knee has been ruined, you will have a great advantage over the enemy. | |
| Ankle | |
| ----- | |
| If the enemy is on the ground, get a hold of his ankle and twist it until it | |
| snaps. This will make it almost impossible for him to walk and he will then be | |
| easy to kill. | |
| ^*^ | |
| Let me talk about some more important things you should remember when you are | |
| fighting somebody. | |
| 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. | |
| Use any available object that you can. By this I mean throw sand in his eyes, | |
| block his strikes by hitting him with a large branch, or any other kind of | |
| available material that can be used as a weapon against him. | |
| 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. | |
| ^*^ | |
| I have now explained to you the basics of fighting and the best places to | |
| attack your enemy on his body. Just because you have read this file doesn't | |
| mean you will be able to go out and kick somebody's ass in. These methods take | |
| a lot of practice in order to do them properly. | |
| If you enjoyed this file and would like to practice these methods get a partner | |
| who is also interested in this and work on each type of strike and kick. When | |
| you first start out, go slowly and remember that these methods are deadly and | |
| do not require much force to be effective so take it easy on your partner. | |
| Some of you may decide that practicing is not enough and you would like to | |
| learn more than what I have told you in the above. Well, there are several good | |
| books with illustrations on this subject which go into much more detail than I | |
| ever could in this file. The book I used mainly to write this file was "The | |
| Marine Corps Field Manual on Physical Security". You can get this book through | |
| a good book store or if you happen to know a marine, he can get you a copy very | |
| easily. | |
| There are also camps where you can go for 1-2 weeks to learn all sorts of | |
| things like this such as firing weapons, detailed hand-to-hand combat, doing | |
| raids on enemies and all sorts of other stuff like that. The instructors that | |
| teach these programs are well trained and have had years of experience with | |
| this. However, usually you have to be 18 years or older to get into these | |
| programs and you have to be very serious about it as well. This is not one of | |
| those programs where you can say "Time-out, I need to rest." They don't stop | |
| just to suit you. To get more information about these programs, you can usually | |
| find out about them in magazines like "Soldier of Fortune" and other magazines | |
| with similar theme. | |
| ^*^ | |
| Well, that's it for now. Perhaps in the future I can discuss the fun stuff like | |
| fighting people with knives and all the other lethal weapons you can use in a | |
| fight. If you liked this file, let me know and I will continue on with this | |
| subject. | |
