2. "And small people without weapons are not people! All small people without weapons are targets!" (WITH)

Let's leave our self-defender alone for now, and think about why people need weapons at all? "Maybe something like this is better? Like criminals rarely attack ... well, once in their youth they will take away their wallet, but they pulled off a bag from Aunt Masha. Who are they going to defend themselves from? Are they attacking every day?" - asks the Captain Obvious in the face of the Wise Man in the street.

This is really so - actually life-threatening encroachments, thank God, rarely occur - from the criminal underworld. "And where do the longest crime reports come from every day"?

And they are taken from a huge number of everyday conflicts, which each person both initiates himself and gets involved on someone else's initiative. I was driving a car - drove around the hatch - jerked the steering wheel - it seemed to the other driver. that he was cut. Braking, two hits with a bat ... corpse. A fighter with a batsman stands and thinks about life, the same man in the street as the deceased. In contrast to passive counteraction to crime - not to roam around the working areas in the evenings, not to seek adventure and use a taxi, you cannot secure yourself in any way from everyday conflicts. Even in your elite house there is a hamlo that will turn on the music at night, and if you try to calm it down with words, it will let the dog down and remember your youth in guarding the car market and the boxing section.

Unlike terrible crimes and bloody maniacs, everyday rudeness, redneck and disgusting - that's what life consists of. And part 1 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code - domestic murders for the most part, this is the war in which only and exclusively "ordinary people" participate - on both sides.

This is where you need a can of gas, and a bit, and a rubber gun, and alas, often a knife and firearms- in order not to replenish the statistics of everyday idiocy with your life on the one hand, and not to be patient on the other, steadfastly enduring someone else's rudeness, deprivation and humiliation.

Here it is - the arena in which our "self-defender", among other things, will have to use all his "devices". Moreover, this is exactly what he will do, because he is not a trembling creature, but has the right - and in his hand there is a faithful device. He is an armed citizen, and will not pass by a neighbor who turns on loud music! he will enter into an unequal battle, with absolute ruthlessness towards himself - as he has repeatedly described this in his dreams and on the forum. He knows everything about gas, joules and rubber bullets, he has tens and hundreds of hours on the forum and thousands of printed signs of the text of discussions on tactics.

Let's face it - size matters. When faced with a larger opponent, knowing how to attack and defend will come in handy in order to neutralize his advantage in height and weight. If a fight is imminent, you will have to move quickly and act correctly. While facing a larger foe can seem quite intimidating, if you stay cool and act correctly, you can win the fight.

Steps

Part 1

Self defense

Don't get into fights unless absolutely necessary. When faced with a larger enemy, you have less chance of success. Try to avoid a fight by any means. Do your best to come to an agreement or leave. There is nothing to be ashamed about avoiding conflict, especially if you don’t know what it can escalate into. Your opponent may have weapons, or his comrades may come to his aid. Every effort should be made to avoid a fight.

• If you manage to avoid collision, it will be a victory.
• If a collision is imminent, remain calm. Do not panic, as this will negatively affect your reaction and ability to take adequate action.

1. Take care of protection. Raise your hands and cover your head with them. In this case, the forearms should be vertical and parallel to each other, so that the palms are directed towards your cheeks. Slightly clench your palms into a fist to be ready to strike back. Bend down slightly and lower your elbows towards the middle of your body to protect your ribs and abdomen from the unexpected blow.

   • Do not relax or weaken your defenses, even if you are tired. If you drop your hands, your opponent will be able to deliver the decisive blow to you.
   • Maintain a defensive position from which you can quickly go on the attack and strike with your fist or elbow.

2. Try not to block blows, but dodge them. It is likely that a larger opponent will be stronger than you, so it is best not to try to block his attack directly. Instead, try to constantly move and dodge punches. Chasing will drain your opponent, with each unsuccessful hit he will waste his energy. If it is not possible to retreat to a safe distance, take your head away from the blows. After each unsuccessful attack from the side of the enemy, try to immediately strike a surprise blow.

   Do not engage in contact combat with the enemy. In such a fight, the advantage is always on the side of a larger and stronger opponent. Don't put yourself at unnecessary risks and don't let your opponent take you. Keep at such a distance that he could not grab you, if the opportunity arises, attack and retreat to a safe distance again. If you and your opponent find yourself on the ground, you will be less able to control the course of the struggle and will lose such advantages as speed, freedom of maneuver and accuracy.

   Get ready to hit. It is unlikely that you will be able to get out of a fight with a larger opponent without a single scratch. You may not be able to react in time and miss a few hits. Get ready for this. Missing a punch is bad, but being caught off guard is even worse.

   Part 2

   Leveling up size differences

   1. Dodge punches. Move continuously so that the enemy cannot grab you or knock you to the ground. Lean on the balls of your feet - this will allow you to move quickly and confuse the enemy. Since he has longer arms, stay away and approach only for the purpose of hitting or grabbing.

      Get closer to the enemy. Close the distance between you and your opponent when they least expect it. Thus, you will deprive your larger opponent of the advantage and be able to deliver one or more targeted hits. For success, you need to choose the right moment and correctly approach the enemy in order not to give him the opportunity to strike back.

      • When reducing the distance between you and a larger enemy, the first thing to remember is to stay outside the "danger zone". This is an area from which you are not able to reach your opponent, but he can hit you thanks to his longer arms.
      • Approach suddenly after dodging a punch or pretending to punch, or follow your opponent's hand as he deflects it after the punch.

   2. Wear your opponent. One of the disadvantages tall and more weight is that more effort is required for movement, and as a result, more big man gets tired faster. Take advantage of this. Defend against attacks with dodges and dives and keep moving until your opponent starts to slow down. After that, you can take advantage of your speed advantage, get closer to the enemy and inflict several blows on him.

   Part 3

   Harming the enemy

   Use the element of surprise. If you feel like a fight is brewing, attack first. If an impact is imminent, deliver a sudden, well-timed blow to the jaw or solar plexus (the soft outer edge of the diaphragm below the breastbone). Put all your strength into the punch to end the encounter immediately. If successful, your opponent will fall and will not be able to continue the fight. If you're unlucky, at least you won't be caught off guard.

   • Before launching a surprise attack, try to assess the situation as accurately as possible. You can often limit yourself to verbal skirmishes and not bring the matter to a physical collision. Make sure you exhaust all possibilities before you get into the fray.
   • Be careful with a sudden blow. If you miss or the opponent blocks the blow, you cannot avoid a real fight.

   1. Wait for the right moment and move. It is worth repeating again: when facing a larger enemy, you must constantly move, and not stand still and wait for you to be hit. You won't be able to block properly powerful blows... Dodge blows and wait for the enemy to open up, then immediately seize the opportunity that comes along and deliver a hard blow. Go from defense to quick explosive attacks, and in the end you will wear out your opponent.

      • Be patient. Otherwise, you will begin to make mistakes, which can lead to disastrous results.
      • When it is not possible to hit the head, hit the body. The solar plexus is a sensitive place, upon impact on which a person exhales all the air and begins to suffocate. Another weak point are the ribs - they can break at a pressure of less than one kilogram per square centimeter.

   2. Hit sensitive areas. Unlike a boxing match, in which the rules prohibit hitting in certain places, in a street fight there are no such restrictions. Try to hit the most sensitive areas in order to inflict maximum damage on the enemy. One lucky hit can knock him out of action. Usually, such attacks are quite unexpected, and people are not always ready to defend against them.

      • Despite the difference in size and height, our bodies share the same weaknesses.
      • Striking sensitive areas will temporarily discourage your opponent, and you will have time to retreat or continue the attack.
      • An open-handed hit to the ear loses balance and is as effective, if not more effective, than a hook to the left or right. After hitting the nose, the eyes fill with tears, which allows you to blind the enemy for a while and buy time for a decisive attack. A blow to the groin limits mobility and makes the opponent less determined to continue the fight.

   3. Use painful techniques. Suppose the enemy still knocked you to the ground, and you cannot get to your feet. In this case, resort to a painful technique: pinch or twist the opponent's body part so that he cannot continue the fight. Grab a joint, twist an arm, or perform a choke hold. Thus, you will inflict severe pain on the enemy and be able to complete the fight. Even a giant cannot continue to fight if he is knocked out of consciousness or his arm is broken.

      Do not disdain dirty tricks. Forget nobleness: there are no rules in the street fight. You do not know what damage and injury you will receive in case of defeat, so do not be shy and refuse dirty tricks. Bite, punch in the eyes, grab your opponent by the hair, squeeze his neck, kick in the groin and do everything to survive.

      SPECIALIST'S ADVICE

      Self defense specialist

      Dirty tricks may seem like an excessive measure, but sometimes they are the ones that allow you to be saved. In a real fight, the main thing is to end it as soon as possible. Optimal time for this - 9 seconds or even less. After this time, the chances of survival decrease with every second.

   • Keep your eyes on your opponent. Watch him constantly in order to dodge his blows in time and, if necessary, hit back.
   • When striking, always consider the distance between you and your opponent. If you are far away, kick in the knee, groin, or mid-body; at an average distance, hit the head and body with a fist; on the short distance strike with your head, knees and elbows.
   • If possible, spar with someone bigger than you, and practice attack and defense techniques on your partner.
   • Tilt your head forward and hide your chin in case your opponent does an uppercut.
   • Punches to the groin can help decide the outcome of a fight. Yes, this is a dirty trick, but any street fight comes with a risk to your life, so do your best!
   • Do not fall for the tricks of the enemy. If he says: “I cannot get up,” this does not mean that this is really the case.
     • Always be on the alert when you hear such phrases.
   • Be observant and see if the opponent is doing something that can help you win. For example, if he does not cover his ribs and belly, attack him in these places.
   • Grabbing your opponent by the hair will give you complete control over his body for a few seconds. Nevertheless, during this, do not lose your vigilance - all your top part the body will be vulnerable.

Concept and types of conflicts

Conflict (from Latin - collision) - lack of agreement between two or more parties, which may be specific persons or in groups.

For reasons:

By participants:

By the degree of openness:

By consequences:

Goal conflict

Intrapersonal

Open

Functional

Conflict of views

Interpersonal

Hidden

Dysfunctional

Sensual conflict

Intragroup

Intergroup

Intra-organizational

In case of a conflict of goals, the parties involved in the situation see differently the desired state of the object in the future.

In a conflict of views, the parties involved disagree in ideas and thoughts on the problem being solved. Resolving such conflicts is more time-consuming than reaching agreement on goal conflicts.

Sensual conflict manifests itself in a situation where the participants have different feelings and emotions that underlie their relationship. People annoy each other with their style of behavior.

Intrapersonal conflict manifests itself within the individual and is often by nature a conflict of goals or views. Its intensity increases with an increase in the number of solution options, with the achievement of a balance between the positive and negative outcome of the conflict and the perception of the importance of its source.

V interpersonal conflict involves two or more individuals if they perceive themselves to be in opposition to each other regarding the goals, dispositions, values ​​or behavior of each of them. The most common type of conflict.

Intragroup Conflict is typically a clash between parts or members of a group that affects group dynamics and the performance of the entire group. It can arise as a result of a change in the balance of forces in a group: a change in leadership, the emergence of an informal leader, the development of groupism, etc.

Intergroup a conflict is a confrontation or clash between two or more groups in an organization. It can have a professional and industrial or emotional basis. It is intense. The development of intergroup conflict leads to an intraorganizational conflict.

Intra-organizational the conflict arises most often on the basis of the design of individual works, the formation of the organization as a whole, and also as a result of the formal distribution of power. It can be vertical (conflict between levels of the organization), horizontal (between parts of the organization of equal status), linear-functional (between line management and specialists) and role-based.

Open conflicts most often manifest themselves on business grounds. Disagreements between participants relate to the production area and express, for example, different ways solving the problem. Open conflicts are relatively harmless.

The root cause of "smoldering" hidden conflicts is human relations. Many seemingly "business" conflicts are actually based on the feelings and relationships of people. These conflicts are not easy to resolve: if the business part of the conflict is resolved, then the tension is transferred to other problems with the same participants.

Functional conflicts have several positive consequences:

The problems discussed are resolved in ways that are most acceptable to all parties, and the staff feel their involvement in solving the problems;

Difficulties in implementing decisions are minimized - hostility, injustice, the need to act against the will;

In the future, the parties will be more likely to cooperate than to confront;

The possibility of manifestation of groupthink and submissive syndrome is reduced;

The quality of decision-making improves, different points of view are identified, through the conflict, group members can work through possible problems even before their manifestation.

Conflict, if not managed, can be dysfunctional, that is, have negative consequences:

Dissatisfaction, poor morale, increased turnover, decreased productivity;

The emergence of a strong loyalty of employees to their group and the perception of the other side as an "enemy", a decrease in cooperation in the future, curtailment of interaction and communication between the conflicting parties;

Attaching more importance to defeating the "enemy" than solving the real problem.

It is not the size of the dog that matters in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. How to defeat an opponent who is taller, larger, heavier and stronger than you in a fight? How to defeat a strong opponent in a fight?

Let's face it, size matters, but that's not all it takes. Even if you are smaller than your opponent, you can be faster, smarter and smarter than him. Benefit from everything. Having a mind is much more important than animal strength.

Unlike collision with equals strong adversary, in a fight with a larger opponent, certain difficulties arise. The following steps will help you win the fight, or at least stay safe and sound!

1. Be fair about your chances. Do not get involved in a fight with a larger opponent if there is an opportunity to avoid collision. You will find yourself in an unenviable position because of its size.

2. Choose the smartest solution. You have two choices when facing a larger, potentially more powerful opponent: fight or run. Retreating is not a manifestation of cowardice, but a reasonable decision in order to survive. It is foolish to get involved in a fight without confidence in victory.

3. Use the element of surprise. If you are cornered and the situation leaves you no choice, prepare emotionally and physically for a fight and don't be too predictable. Pretend you are not ready to attack and suddenly stab your solar plexus (the soft area on the body between the chest and abdominal muscles). This will more than frighten him.

4. Prepare a contingency plan. If you are unable to intimidate him with a surprise attack, get into a fighting pose and follow the instructions:

Always protect your head with your elbows. The bigger guy can easily punch you in the head thanks to his advantage in reach.

Consider the capabilities of your opponent: large reach and power due to its mass. Maintain your distance. To break through his defenses and strike, use the correct parrying tactics (block and deflect the attack) or move your leg forward to compensate for the lack of an advantage in reach, find an unprotected area and strike. (Dodge and wiggle so that the enemy misses and loses his balance.) This is a rather risky maneuver, but effective when performed correctly.

To compensate for the large reach: when the opponent makes a direct attack, you need to duck, wait a while to perform a hook in the forearm and continue with a series of punches to the body or to the head, while getting closer to him. The main thing is to injure his forearm to eliminate the attack.

It will be more effective to parry blows than block the attack. Parrying gives you the opportunity to counterattack, while blocking can cause damage. But without proper timing, effective parrying is impossible.

Never try to fight fair if the advantage is not on your side. Your goal is to use common sense and practicality to protect yourself at all costs. This is not competition or bragging. This is the usual self-defense. There are no rules in a street fight. If you have a pen, bottle, or rock in your hand, use it in self-defense. Throw a handful of sand in your opponent's eyes or cut his leg with a cutter. Blinding him with hot sauce or pepper, you can temporarily neutralize the enemy and manage to deliver a series of blows during this time or retreat and avoid a fight. As far as circumstances permit, try not to get involved in street fights without a weapon. Unlike wrestling, in a real battle, everything is not fair. In addition, if the attacker sees in your hands a dangerous weapon that can harm him, it is quite possible that he will retreat or hesitate to attack. This will be your victory.

You will be helped by the ability to handle martial arts tools (sticks, nunchucks, shinai sword, etc.) Do not expect a short, thin guy with his bare hands to beat an opponent twice as hard and taller than him. While this is possible in the case of a short guy with superior speed and skill, it is very rare. In reality, a larger adversary can be defeated by skill with weapons or by retreating instead of launching a blind attack. Weapons are a more effective option.

Close combat is suitable for undersized fighters. Proper timing is important, as tall wrestlers prefer open combat due to their larger reach.

Play a dirty game. Do not be afraid to hit him in the groin, throat, fingers in the eyes, bite him in the ear (as Iron Mike did in the battle against his larger rival Holyfield, which was unacceptable in the ring, but can save you in a real strike). By grabbing an enemy by the hair, you can effectively reduce his ability to move. By pulling his hair down, you can deliver an uppercut or knee kick to the face. Tactics not used in wrestling and boxing can be perfectly acceptable in a street fight.

There are four ways to break your grip and get out of the grip of a larger man. Use head blow to face, bite ( chewing muscles in the human body, those located in the jaw area have the greatest strength.) But be careful, as your opponent's blood may contain HIV or other infectious viruses. By stepping hard on your opponent's toes, you can end the bear grip. You can also try twisting his fingers out to release the grip.

Use a punching bag in your workouts to help you develop strength. Strength, speed, endurance and skill are attainable qualities. Hard work and training will help you achieve this.

You are constantly on the move. As Ali said, "fly like a butterfly, sorry like a bee." Move forward, backward, sideways, in a circle. Footwork is a very important factor applied with the ability to strike at the right moment. Never stand in one place and on straight feet, a large opponent will easily take over the situation if you let him.

It is worth developing such effective technique like sliding, squatting and swinging before striking a vigorous punch. Smaller than your opponent, you are more likely to outnumber him in speed. Use the lightness of your weight and practice the basics of evasive combat. Bruce Lee (birth name Li Xiaolong, which means "Dragon Li" in Chinese) said that "the main evasion technique is to hit, while avoiding the enemy's strike." In a fight against a large opponent, you must behave like a bullfighter in a fight with a bull, dodging his attacks and flirting with his power.

Leaving aside and looking for inconvenient corners for the enemy - good method compensate for the difference in reach zones. Dodging attacks gives you the opportunity to find an open area in his defense and makes you less predictable. However, it takes a lot of practice and training to master this skill.

Close combat with a larger opponent can be too risky. In this case, it is very important, among others, to use the evasion technique. Run away if you get the chance.

Use your speed, lightness and agility. Capacious hits are preferred for smaller fighters. Punching bag exercises will help you develop your speed and speed of punches.

Low Manny Pacquiao nicknamed "Pacman" after defeating the "golden boy" Oscar de la Hoya said: "Speed ​​is the key to defeating him."

Speed ​​means not only the swiftness of the blows, but also the dexterous and quick work of the legs. This means mastering the skill of smoothly entering and exiting the combat zone with ease.

Learn to strike back. Prevent enemy attacks or strike back after dodging.

Combine blows to confuse your opponent. Do not use the same attack more than twice in the same combo.

Bluff. Pretend you want to strike and immediately attack for real. Use a deceptive maneuver by pretending to strike from the left, then strike from the right into the solar plexus. Experiment with hit combinations. Deceptive maneuvers are aimed at distracting the enemy's attention, disrupting his coordination and concentration. Bruce Lee said: "When two equal fighters collide, the one who bluffs best wins."

When you are out of range, do not try to punch in the face unless you are confident that you are capable of knocking out an opponent. The advantage in the reach will allow him to easily strike you back, and a failed knockout attempt will only make him angry. This would be unwise given your disadvantage. Instead, attack with side kicks to the closest available target, the knee or groin. You can only slap an opponent in the face if they are stunned or writhing in pain. A blow to the head is best applied when approaching.

It is much more effective to hit more vulnerable parts of the body, such as knee joints, groin, eyes, bridge of the nose, kidney and heart areas, neck and solar plexus. These areas are most sensitive to pain.

Regardless of the size of the man, a blow to the perineum will cause unbearable pain. Even world-class heavyweight boxers bend over in pain after being hit in the groin with sufficient force, accidentally or deliberately. This may be considered foul play, but it is effective. A powerful groin uppercut (you can use it unexpectedly) is one of the most powerful moves against a larger opponent. Practice an uppercut with a punching bag to develop a powerful kick to the groin.

Time to get closer. When you are within reach, use techniques that are effective in close combat, such as head striking in the face, hook to the jaw, knee striking in the groin, and elbow striking the solar plexus.

How many times have you watched a boxer get hit in the face by an opponent during a match? A headbutt to the face can easily cause bleeding. Use it in close combat whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Striking the back of your opponent's head with the edge of your hand after pulling his head down by the hair can be life-threatening. This is an extremely dangerous technique that can cause instant death or life-long paralysis due to possible damage to the spine. Never use this technique unless you are in a life-threatening situation.

A blow to the temple with the "cutting end" of the fist can stun and discoordinate your enemy. Striking that area of ​​the head with a weapon can kill him, so be careful and only attack if your life or someone else's life is in danger.

A blow to the ears can cause the opponent to lose balance or even lose consciousness. Ears are the center of our balance.

Master the art of lying down. In this position, success depends on the ability to use a system of leverage to pin down and subdue the enemy, or on the knowledge of techniques that can cause damage to the joints. In prone combat, you can use techniques such as wringing fingers, hitting the eyes, thrusting in the throat and groin. Many pay Special attention jiu-jitsu techniques, and while the use of arms and legs in this context is quite effective, remember that the opponent's grip can be removed with a simple twisting of the fingers. In a prone battle, it is not the size of the enemy that is important, but skill and capture techniques.

The "grab and hit" strategy (a la Ricky Hatton) suits small fighters. By pressing close to your opponent, closing the distance between you (entering the clinch), you prevent them from using ranged strikes, while you can use your advantage with short, powerful strikes at close range.

5. Remember your benefits. You have them

Smaller people tend to be lighter and leaner, which is essential when dodging and dodging attacks in combat. Most of them have excellent footwork when moving around.

They are also more agile, which complements the swiftness of the strikes. Although their attack is weaker in strength, they compensate for this with speed and more hits.

They are generally more resilient than their larger opponents.

They are in a better position to deliver a devastating uppercut to a tall opponent in the jaw, solar plexus, or kidney area.

During a prone fight, they are harder to pin down or grab because their center of gravity is closer.

While the short arm length is a disadvantage during ranged combat, it can be beneficial in melee combat. The short arm length makes it easy to execute short hooks and uppercuts.

Psychologically undersized fighters tend to be more motivated due to a deeper understanding of the task at hand when facing a large adversary. While the latter often underestimate the former, which leads to overconfidence.

Advice

In a fight against a taller opponent, you must be able to properly use your reach. This is about convergence and distance. You must be able to determine when it is best to get out of the enemy's reach, and when to get close to him. Take advantage of your small reach, neutralize its lift by reducing distance. Never be within his reach.

Keep your eyes on your opponent. If you are trying to use a throw, do it quickly, before it gets ahead of you.

In practical self-defense, as Bruce Lee argued, the line of defense should start with a side kick to the knee. This is very effective due to the comparative static and unstable knee position, besides, the kick has the largest attack zone. Kicking the knee does not require long range and is one of the most easily accessible and vulnerable areas of the body. But you need to develop the power of the blow in order to be able to inflict strong enough damage.

Sam Langford, boxing champion in heavyweight early 20th century, popularized the statement "Hit the torso and the head will fall." His height was only 170 cm, but he defeated almost every taller opponent in the ring. In a fight with a tall opponent, undersized fighters should try to hit the torso, since, given the difference in height, this is more acceptable for them. A blow to the head can follow a powerful direct blow or an uppercut to the solar plexus or kidneys.

Training sparring with a larger, taller opponent is good practice for developing and mastering skill and technique.

Rely mainly on kicks (especially if your larger opponent is only using fists) because the legs longer than arms... This will help compensate for your lack of reach. Fist punches can be used in close combat or at medium range.

There is nothing wrong with living in constant expectation of a fight. The statement "Providence - the best part valor ”means that there are things that even a brave person will not talk about: running away is not a reason for complacency, but sometimes it is the only way to a favorable outcome of a fight.

Top kick back hand performed roundabout from top to bottom towards the opponent's head. This is a very clever counterattack technique used to defeat the "blind spot" of a larger enemy.

Always remember that size really matters. Major enemy can do more damage due to the power of his blows. But it is much more important to have a strategy and brains. There is an old boxing saying, "A good big boxer will always beat a good little boxer." Following this rule, if you are smaller than your opponent, you should not be as good as him, but much better. If he's bigger than you, you should be smarter. The main condition for victory is the confidence that you are superior in skill and have the best fighting technique. Having an equal skill level is not enough as it has an advantage.

Shout. A loud, high-pitched and unexpected scream will not only surprise the enemy, but will also signal to passers-by who may come to your aid.

The solar plexus is a vital center of the body. An uppercut aimed at the solar plexus can cause excruciating pain or even death. Since the impact is directed from the bottom up, high sensitivity internal organs pain leads to severe shock. With a bruise, a pain signal is sent to the brain, causing partial paralysis, rapid breathing and unbearable suffering.

Muay Thai boxers practice a devastating shin kick. The best way master this technique - training with a punching bag.

Chapter 11
Hierarchical duel drunken brawl, street assault

Often people behave inappropriately to the situation, the result is damage to health, death or problems with organs. For example, they shoot at a drunken neighbor on the landing instead of punching him into the solar plexus, or vice versa - they try to solve everything "on fists" with a group of fighters who have knives and "injuries" in their pockets.

How to understand where and how to behave correctly?

Basically, all conflict situations are divided into three groups. And for each situation, its own tactics and techniques of self-defense are suitable.

1. Hierarchical duel - at school, at the university, in the yard company.

Here severe injuries tacitly prohibited. The technique is used as usual, sports - boxing punches, throws. You cannot injure your opponent, because this is not the right situation. Excessive cruelty should not be shown here, since this is your neighbor, classmate, etc., with whom you had an everyday conflict. You are simply competing for a place on an invisible hierarchical ladder. The fight takes place according to the contractual rules - one on one. Weapons and tools are not used. Usually, it all ends with one of the opponents being knocked to the ground, or everyone can see that he cannot continue the fight, or he surrenders. The maximum is knocked out teeth, bruises. There may be a slight concussion.

It is interesting that such unspoken (not stipulated by anyone, but clearly understood by everyone) rules existed even in the days of the Vikings - a duel between friends could take place according to the rules "until the first blood" - that is, any scratch. The reasons are clear and practical - if you kill your own people, the "flock" will weaken. But conflicts between men must somehow be resolved - each Ego, each has a hierarchical instinct. Competition, aggression. Duels of this kind are a compromise. And shed blood, and not take life.

How and where do these rules come from among modern schoolchildren? Male character? Family memory?

2. Drunken brawl (domestic conflict).

Here you need to distinguish - is it a drunken fight at a wedding or a conflict with a drunken neighbor? In these cases, it is better to use such elements of technique that will not allow the aggressor who has suffered at your hands to write a statement or remove the beatings. Here it is best to first try to talk calmly (which requires confidence - and that is another question), and then apply such blows that are painful, but which leave no traces. Strikes with the edge of the sole on the shin, in the groin, with a “fork” in the Adam's apple, followed by the capture of the throat when you push the person against the wall. It is possible to conduct painful hold to fix it (tie) and send it under a cold shower. Also, if we are dealing with a drunken neighbor, you can use a gas jet canister. But here it is best to have witnesses on your side who will show that the use was protection - that is, you sprayed gas in his face AFTER he got into the fight, not BEFORE. To neutralize witnesses from a drunken neighbor, you can invite him to go somewhere to talk "like a man, one-on-one," prompting him with hints of cowardice if he refuses. If it leaves, it is as painful as possible to cool his ardor. At the same time, you will already know whether the neighbor may have a weapon such as a kitchen knife or not, since this does not happen that alcoholic neighbors begin to show physical aggression on your very first day of life in the entrance. All "driveway wars" have a background. If after that a neighbor knocks on the door with an ax, you can safely call the police and write a statement. Most likely, the district police officer (with whom you should first make friends) was tired of this drunkard a long time ago. And in any case, police in any country in the world act on the same emotions as all people - they evaluate a person by their clothes. On the one hand, there will be a violent drunk, unshaven, in a T-shirt with traces of yesterday's food, and on the other, you will be correct, polite, fit. Although drunks and precinct are all sorts.

3. Street attack.

If we are talking about a street attack or a street conflict with a flock of aggressors, then it is best to inflict the maximum possible injury on them and use weapons and improvised means at full capacity. You shouldn't feel sorry for them here. Here you need to finish off. This is about your life and your health. This is the "war" regime.

Protect yourself correctly and adequately.

Chapter 12
Five differences between street self-defense and a sports duel

1st difference

The first and most important difference is the number of opponents. In sports, the enemy is always one, on the street - from one to infinity. And this should not just be skimmed through, thinking that everything is clear, but realistically realized. You need to understand that if the conditions are different, then there must be different training methods.

2nd difference

Second important point- the surface on which you have to fight. In sports, these are almost always soft mats, carpets, tatami. Except for boxing and kickboxing. On the street - at least asphalt (possibly strewn with fragments, stones, rusty cans, etc.). And you need to be prepared for this. You need to be prepared to such an extent that there is no fear of falling or being thrown on the asphalt at all. Moreover, after a fall, a person loses orientation in space for at least 1 second and you can do anything with him. A trained person is not lost either after a fall, or even at the very moment of a fall.

How can this be achieved? Due to the skills of self-insurance - the ability to fall forward, backward, sideways ... Ability to roll and somersault.

3rd difference

First of all, we must understand three rules of street conflict:

1. There will be several attackers

2. Attackers may have weapons

3. The attack can be sudden

From these rules, based on the experience of many people, and must proceed.

1. Fight

Wrestling will not work, although a good throw on the asphalt will instantly "neutralize" the enemy. But in order to make a throw, you need to completely and completely concentrate on one opponent, especially in order to throw, you need to make a capture with both hands. If at this time you will be beaten by his friends - and they will, you will not even be able to hide behind. In addition, during the throw, you can fall with one of the aggressors to the ground. You are unlikely to be allowed to rise. Moreover, the enemy you threw can grab you. Or poke with a knife.

2. Kicking

High kicks are not suitable for one simple reason - when you kick, you are standing on one leg for at least a fraction of a second. A person is already unstable on his two supports - legs, we constantly make efforts to maintain balance when we stand. Although we do not notice this. If we ourselves remove one of the supports, a push, or a kick on the leg, or a sweep is enough. Only kicks up to the waist can work.

3. Punches

Punches work best from this point of view. The delivered punch is just as crushing as the throw, but it is much easier to execute. Moreover, you can repeat the blow in the next second, or close yourself from the opponent's blow, or dodge, etc. You always hit from a certain distance, you do not stand close to the enemy, which makes it possible to avoid stabbing. An opportunity, but not a guarantee - here you still have to work hard yourself. You can deliver a flurry of blows to several opponents almost simultaneously, especially if you are using a specific technique. Plus, you can hit vulnerable spots like whiskey.

4th difference

What is the mass of an ideal fighter in the minds of many? That's right - the more the better. No wonder the most spectacular are the fights of the super heavyweights. It is also not for nothing that it is believed that the “fly” has nothing to do in a duel with the “heavy” - the “heavy” has a more massive blow, but try to break it yourself! Many people sway, thinking that the bigger they are, the scarier they look. And for the bulk it is so. But there are other people living different, more extreme lives. In their world, the volume of the biceps does not mean anything, because they can cut that biceps at any time like a rag. These are street criminals who love to use guns. And in this case, massiveness can play a cruel joke - yes, in an unarmed duel, a large mass can be a plus, but in a battle with an armed enemy it is already a minus. A massive person will not be able to deftly maneuver, evade knife strikes. Rather, on the contrary - out of habit, he will trample with a steam locomotive, into a ram, wanting to crush a mass. And he will be stabbed several times. Yes, he can manage to smash his opponent's face. Or even break something for him. But which is more dangerous - a broken face or a knife wound in the side?

The same goes for those who like to put hard blocks - this, of course, can work well in a sports match or even a hierarchical fight. But what about an adversary armed with a crowbar? Or with the same knife? Will a deaf defense help a boxer (when they cover their head with their hands), if the opponent just pisses them off, cut these hands with a knife?

Massiveness is valued in sports, in extreme combat situations dexterity, mobility (but at the same time strength) are valued. Therefore, warriors have always cultivated dexterity, the ability to avoid a blow, and not take it upon themselves - as is practiced in some martial arts.

And yet the best thing on the street is the use of authorized self-defense equipment. Get your license, and carry your traumatic pistol and safety knife. The advantages of the knife are that it does not need to be reloaded, it does not misfire. The advantages of "trauma" are that you can keep the enemy at a distance so that he does not stab you with a knife.

Let's remember sumo wrestlers - who are they? They were originally the emperor's bodyguards. Their goal is not victory, but the protection of the protected "object". With his massive carcass, the guard must close the emperor or, at most, try to demolish the enemy. Whether he will survive this - nobody cares, he has no such task.

Each blow of the enemy on the street should be considered in advance as a blow with a weapon (especially since in the dark the weapon in the hand may not be visible).

Historical Cossacks are an excellent example of a military approach - they were dexterous, evasive, but physically strong. They could dodge a blow with a saber, a spear, but at the same time they themselves perfectly hit opponents protected by cuirass and chain mail. And what is most interesting, in their culture, even in a fist fight, they did not take the blow. They tried to get away from the blow. Because the habit of taking punches on yourself can lead to the habit of taking a hit with a weapon. Which is fatal for a warrior, unlike a peasant, who, most likely, will never go to war. And so he can afford to “play the merchant Kalashnikov” (fist fun from the Russian tradition, when two people take turns hitting each other while standing still, and the ability to withstand as many blows as possible is appreciated).

5th difference

- Circular technique and tactics. Let's return to the fact that in a sports duel not only the central, “linear” type of vision is used, but also linear technique and tactics. And that's okay, because it's enough for a fight with one opponent. But on the street you need a different, circular fighting technique. In a fight against several opponents, it is better to use, for example, side and backhand strikes (such as "backfist"). It is necessary to create a kind of protective ring around yourself: to repulse blows, endure grips, inflict injuries on opponents. It's not about standing in the center and waving your arms like in the movies. Street fight is chaotic and consists of separate moments, which can include such blows and movements.

- In a sports duel "linear" technique, tactics, type of vision.

- In street self-defense ( hand-to-hand combat) "Circular" technique, tactics, type of vision.

And this is completely normal, since in different conditions and for different tasks different solutions are needed. It makes little sense to move in the street with a U-turn in a sports duel - it is wiser to move linearly, back and forth ("in the shuttle"). But why do you think that the application sports equipment and tactics make sense on the street?

In sparring with several opponents, use more side punches, backhand punches, while constantly rotating and moving. Sparring partners can hold makiwars and try to tackle. If they jammed you, you lost. Rules may vary.

How to behave in a conflict situation in a public place?

Nowadays, video cameras are installed everywhere - especially in places such as shopping and entertainment centers, where conflicts often occur. Especially in evening time, on weekends. As practice shows, guards do not always interfere. Therefore, it remains to rely only on your own strength.

The problem is that from the point of view of the so-called law, it is not the one who defended his honor and dignity that is right (there are no such concepts in the law), but the one who was beaten. That is, if you were told something that cannot be tolerated (by the way, not all cameras record sound), and you hit a person - according to the law, he is right, not you. Even if he offended your loved ones who are next to you, those whom you have to protect from everything.

This is not the only point. The aggressor can deliberately provoke you - in order to then remove the beatings, write a statement and extort money from you for closing the case. Do not forget that there are cameras on the streets, and even if they are not there, in front of witnesses, it is not recommended to hit first and beat severely.

1. To strike blows that do not leave marks: palm on the chin, a crack, a fork in the Adam's apple, a blow to the solar plexus, a blow to the liver or kidney, a blow to the shin with a toe, a blow with a knee or a hand in the groin. You can also take your opponent for a painful hold.

2. Take the person to “talk” to a secluded place, and then beat him there. Best of all with the above blows.

We remind you that this requires composure, inner calmness. How to train these qualities is another question.

Part II.
Receptions and means of additional protection

Chapter 13
Technical elements

Now on to the long awaited tricks! It is possible with a clear conscience to forget all the verbal dregs and crap of the previous pages! It is clear that all these recommendations on safety prevention are about nothing and are "filler" - so that there are more pages in the book.

But seriously, let's repeat: the phase of power confrontation is already a failure and a chance to lose. With a properly built personal security system, in theory, it should not come to this. At the very least, all possible measures must be taken to prevent this from happening.

But if it comes to that, you should be fully armed! There are many different techniques, throws and strikes - of which we have selected a certain complex for you, based on following parameters:

- simplicity,

- efficiency,

- the option of great physical strength.

Because we understand that the book is unlikely to be read by experienced fighters - it is intended for people who have hardly engaged in any kind of wrestling in their lives. And if this is an average woman, old man, the average teenager or person with disabilities, then there is no need to talk about "fizukh" at all. But you have to do something? Necessary. So take it, use it.

These technical elements are simple - so you can practice them yourself (in a pair or a group of friends). Of course, the instructor can give feedback, suggest some nuances, but there is nothing super complicated here.

Moreover, they are effective - painful, traumatic. Almost each of these elements (for correct execution) can incapacitate the enemy for a while. Of course, opponents are different, and no one can give guarantees, therefore combinations (bundles) of these elements are also given - one does not work, so the other will work. And if that's all, it's great.

Well, they do not require much strength - almost any person can break a finger.

Of course, this does not mean that you can read a book and become a "superman" (or "superwoman"). It is necessary to train long and hard in a group under the guidance of an experienced instructor. But - if the reader does not have such an opportunity, why should he not live or what? We must do at least something. Better to light at least a small candle than to sit in total darkness. Just remember that everything must be carefully worked out and still focus on preventive measures.

It is important that when practicing these elements with your partner, agree on signals that will let him know that you are already in too much pain and you need to loosen your grip. Otherwise, a partner in the heat of training can injure you, which will be very offensive and not at all good for your health. In wrestling, they usually slap the carpet. You can also say Enough, Yes, etc.

And first of all, we will discuss the so-called invisible strikes - they are not unusual in themselves, it is just that these elements can be performed imperceptibly, which will give you an extra chance. Remember that there is no nobility on the modern street and there cannot be. And your "probable enemy" - the gopnik - just often uses this technique - a blow on the sly.

Chapter 14
Invisible blows

How to knock out your opponent on the street, which can be vital for you and your loved ones? As you know, a knockout punch is one that the opponent does not see. That is, an invisible blow. Invisible does not mean super-fast or supernatural that cannot be captured on camera. Invisible means inconspicuous, unexpected, unusual.

Here we cover some of the invisible hits. This chapter will be useful for both experienced athletes and those who have never been involved in martial arts - because you do not need good physical form or sparring. They are simple, but have repeatedly proven their effectiveness in war and on the street.

First, let's figure out what kind of blow can be invisible. If you are not one of these, then you have already guessed that any blow can be invisible. Even a tornado kick (with a reversal in a jump), provided that the enemy is drunk to death or blinded by the notorious handful of sand or a pinch of salt thrown into his eyes. But in this case, of course, such delights are unnecessary.

Second question. An invisible blow suggests a surprise attack. Is it possible to unexpectedly beat the enemy on the street? Will this not be interpreted as an attack on a civilian? No - provided that the aforementioned citizen has clearly and clearly stated his plans for the evening, which include your premature death (more on which later). After that, preventive measures are possible ("give change in advance"). The second point - if the enemy did not make any such statements, but you see that he (they) came up for a reason, it is your right to decide what to do. If you think too much and for a long time possible consequences, you can get an invisible blow.

Having dealt with the moral and legal side of the issue, we turn to the scientific substantiation.

As you know, a person mainly uses frontal vision - that is, fixes his gaze on something specific. In the worst case, this is known as tunnel vision, which sometimes occurs in an extreme situation, which is very disruptive since a person can only see the enemy in front. Therefore, he may receive a blow to the head from the side.

Rarely does a person use peripheral vision, and, as a rule, it is poorly developed in humans, which is also bad from a combat, self-defense point of view. But this is the subject of a separate article. It turns out that a person's field of vision is limited. Roughly speaking, our field of view is a circle that extends 180 degrees from the sides, as well as from above and below. In fact, it is smaller, and it is not a circle, but a “spot” of a form that is individual for each person, but such a description is enough for understanding. The main thing here is awareness - what an invisible blow is, how to deliver it and how to defend oneself from such an "unexpected".

So, if you are standing very close to the enemy, he cannot see the blows that you are delivering from below. Let's list them.

1. A kick to the shin

A kick to the shin is traumatic enough, but it does not apply to knockout - this kick is needed to shock and move on to another action. Well, only if you do not know how to break a bone with one such blow, which is possible with sufficient training. If you can, then invisible blows are useless to you. The blow is not delivered with your toes, because, firstly, you can miss, and secondly, break them, not the opponent's leg. Hit the middle of the inside edge of your foot - like hitting a ball in yard football. This way you will hit the target exactly. When striking, never look down! The enemy will automatically follow your gaze and see everything. Look into his eyes, or even better behind his back - so you won't measure your eyes with him, wasting your strength, and in which case you will control the situation.

Be sure to practice this blow with a partner so that you first understand that such blows are not visible at close range. Also train on thin trees, as thick as a middle shin (the Chinese develop such a blow on a stick held by a partner - this option is also possible (photo 1).

2. A lashing blow to the groin

This blow is applied with the tips of the fingers, with the palm turned out. back side(outer, where the knuckles are) to the enemy. You strike like a whip, with a whip, as if shaking your hand. Naturally, in this case, all of the above conditions are met - do not look at the point of attack, stand close to the enemy, do everything sharply and quickly. One operative said that this blow helped him to detain the suspects - he approached, made a movement imperceptible to the victim and those around him, and he was already curled up, and then other officers ran up and helped to put on the handcuffs (photo 2).

3. Impact with the base of the palm on the jaw

This is a sabotage, traumatic blow. Apply it when your health and life are in danger. Because this blow, in turn, threatens the same opponent - you can break his cervical vertebrae. It is similar to an uppercut, except that it beats with the palm, not the fist. In the lower jaw. The hand goes as close as possible to the opponent's body so that he does not notice anything until the last moment. And in general, the blows should not be sweeping - so they are less noticeable. After striking, leave the striking hand in place, and with the other grab the aggressor by the back of the head and throw him to the ground, holding his head with both hands (photo 3).

4. Combinations

It is clear that one blow to the shin or groin may not be enough. In general, these are, rather, distracting blows, which are needed in order to bring the enemy to the desired position. That is to say, stir up his defenses, tear him apart.

- Continuation of the blow to the lower leg: knee blow to the groin, the aforementioned blow with the base of the palm to the jaw from below; simple lateral elbow blow (photo 4, 5, 6, 7).

- Continuation of the blow to the groin: if the opponent is bent, we hit with the "edge of the fist" or with the same base of the palm on the back of his head from top to bottom. Add a knee to the face (photos 8, 9, 10).

Naturally, all these technical actions must be practiced. In pairs and by shells (by "paws").

You need to start with the simple, move on to the more complex. That is, first work out all the strikes described separately, then make up bundles of them and work them out in turn.

To practice such blows, shin and groin shields are required.

It is necessary to train these strikes not only on the front, but also to the sides and behind - that is, practicing situations when they come to you from the side or from behind or try to grab you.

It will be useful to complicate things: by working with closed eyes, in the process of the "bazaar", when the enemy dashes towards himself.

Someone might say - if it comes that I am the first to strike, then why do I need these techniques? For example, I am a boxer, and I can cut down an opponent with l-left, and then pr-equal! Firstly, even an experienced athlete will need to learn some "tricks", especially since they help keep him healthy. If an athlete is experienced, then he understands how fragile our metacarpal bones are. If we hit with the base of the palm, then we will not get an injury, and there will be no traces - which is also in our favor. “What a fight? Look at your hands, I didn't beat anyone! " Many people know that you can hit with the base of your hand? Not everyone. The stereotypes about punching are strong. Already a plus.
