Sometimes the most powerful weapon in
self defense is the hand.
Take this example from a UK newspaper. A
man fought a 350 pound bear that was attacking
his family - and WON!
The animal charged at the man, his wife and
three children. He LEAPT in front of it to
defend his family. He prodded it with a
camera tripod, but the bear severed it.
It then tried to sink its teeth into his left
forearm. So, the father PUNCHED the bear
repeatedly in the face - until it ran off.
Simple self defense Krav Maga hand puches!
A good punch is one of the BEST ways to deliver
accurate bodyweight to your opponent. It can
travel from a static position to its target in
less than a .20 of a second.
There is simply no time to block. And you can
bring your hand into play without having to
draw it from a 'carry position'.
Not everyone would choose to take on a bear.
But this man's bravery does show the power of
the punch.
I think a lot of people,especially the police,
could GAIN more confidence by using their
'empty hand' skills rather than a weapon.
With Krav Maga you simpley gain that power into you!
