Self Defense Techniques – Attacking the 7 Most Vulnerable Body Areas During a Self Defense Situation

If attacked, a victim may be able to inflict enough pain to render an assailant helpless. Attacking the 7 most vulnerable parts of the body can cause immense pain. Techniques to cause a sympathetic response to the attacker can also create enough time for an escape. This article will focus on self-defense techniques to attack.

The 7 most vulnerable areas of the body are the eyes, the nose, the throat, the groin, the knees, the shins and the top of the foot. Striking any of these areas in a self-defense situation can render an attacker helpless long enough for a victim to escape. The defender can use the natural weapons of the body to counter attack the assailant. Using the most force possible is imperative to inflict enough pain to end the attack.

The front and back of the head can be used to smash into a nose or throat. Fingers and thumbs can be used to gouge the eyes. The side or heel of the hands or fist can be used to strike the nose or throat. The palms can be used to strike both ears. Elbows are devastating weapons that can be used to attack many parts of the attackers’ body. Knees and feet can be used to attack the groin, knees or shins. A stomp with the heel can break the small bones on the top of the attackers’ foot.

Using any of these techniques can render an assailant helpless long enough to escape. Keeping a clear head, if attacked, and thinking of ways to defend oneself is key. Full strength and force is required to inflict the most pain so the attacker is not able to continue. Even if one is not a martial arts practitioner these techniques could save your life.
