In the S.T.A.R. self protection system we focus on a few basic weapons, these weapons consist of using the open hand or fleshy part of the hand to make contact keep in the mind the formula to generate force is speed x body weight = power not the closed fist. For those with out martial art training we suggest not using closed fist techniques this can cause damage to you and leave you unable to finish the fight. Martial artist commit years of training to condition their fist and knuckles in order to withstand the impact of bone against bone.
I have said before that regardless of the amount techniques that you memorize the stress caused by an attack can effect how you respond and you will only recall a few. So we concentrate on basic hand strikes such as the palm heel, hammer fist, elbow, finger jab and thumb strike. We also focus on these effective basic techniques because we want to be able to prepare you quickly. Remember, self protection is a life style, our primary goal is to avoid the confrontation by being smart and aware. But if all else fails you will have a data base of techniques to choose from. In following articles we will discuss basic blocks (deflects), kicks, targeting and foot work. View the short video clip and get familiar with these techniques, I will go in depth with each technique in future blog posts. Train well.Strike-Create Space -Escape
