Question on quickest way to end the trouble

[Lau gar]

the best tactic is to run like wind

Bon you are a wise person!!!

 

I do agree with Bon that the strike first strike hard idea is the best, but you might want to know what you are hitting with and to make sure you have good accuracy. If you hit with a punch, use your first two knuckles. If you hit with a strike, like a shu-to (side hand) strike be sure to hit with the knuckle on your little finger. And with a kick, make sure you hit with the ball of your foot if it is a front kick, if it is a back kick, use your heel, and if it is a side kick, use the side of your foot, and if it is a roundhouse kick, be sure to use your instep of your foot.

Even for women, I don't really reccomend hitting the groin.

 

Depending on the guy and the hit, he can just become really angry and get an adrenaline rush.

 

I've gotten kicked pretty hard there while sparring with friends, and I instantly get bloodlust and challenge everyone in the room.

 

I say if you fear for your safety, go for the eyes and nose if you can.

[color=green]i would prob go for a Bon style hard fast strike to there jaw. or if it was a man i would snap kick to his manlyness. i tihnk its best though if you dont hit at all and just walk away.[/color]

I would let them throw the first attack, as all good aikidoka do, then I would probably drop his punk @ss and stamp on him until he bled!

[omnifinite]

Knees, throat, or nose I say.

 

If he can't walk, he can't chase you.

 

If he can't breathe, he can't chase you.

 

If he can't see (eyes filled with tears, of course you could go straight for the eyes too), he can't chase you.

 

Don't stick around to find out what he'd do next .

[color=yellow]I agree with you fully the first thing I would strike at is the throat. The eyes are a good idea but I find the throat to be a much easyer target to hit. One good punch or finger jab to the throat can end the fight immedatly. I prefer if my oppenant strikes first then I can do a quick block and instantly strike at the throat through te opening my oppenants punch will create.[/color]

i think it's all about targeting.

 

if there's a good amount of distance - side kick to the knee/shin area.

 

as distance closes - kick to groin (1st pick) or solar plexus (if he can't breathe, he won't hurt you)

 

in close - eyes and throat are my favorite. (and don't forget about your elbows)

 

and as a general rule - any kick above the waste is a waste - my only exception is sometimes to the solar plexus.

[color=orange]I think a roundhouse kick to the head can be pretty devastating[/color]

Ummm..........first try not to fight. Then if no other choice then stike wherever your insticts tell you with just enough intensity to knock them away to either tell them that there not messing with the correct person or giving you time to get out of there.

 

Eyes, Troat, Solar Plexis, Knees would be a fare bet.
