*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Have you ever wondered if you could fight off an attacker using only your bare hands? While it's always best to use a stun gun, pepper spray, or other self defense device against an assailant, what happens if you're caught without any weapon of any kind?
If you're caught unprepared by a surprise attack, your first reaction will be fear and helplessness. Next, you'll probably start wracking your brain for anything you have on you � car keys or a pen, for example- that you could use to fight back. In this situation, it is crucial to have a well-practiced plan for fighting back. Here are a few basic self-defense moves that are recommended for most teenagers and adults, even those without a lot of previous training.
1. Eye gouge. With your first clenched tightly, gouge the attacker's eyes with your thumbs. Try to gouge both eyes at once for the best chance of escaping. Thumbs are stronger than fingers, although you can still expect some injury to the thumbs if you try this method. One of the biggest mistakes made when trying the eye gouge is poking at the attacker using the index finger, rather than using the thumb in a fast jabbing motion. You can't be hesitant if you want the eye gouge to work.
2. Ear slap. Slightly cup your hands, with your fingers close together. Then, slap both of your hands onto the attacker's ears at the same time. Your movement must be fast, fluid, and perfectly timed. The resulting ringing sensation can give you a few seconds to break free.
3. Punch sensitive areas. Both the nose and Adam's apple, or throat, are sensitive to jabs using your closed fist. In fact, if you are fighting an attacker using punches, landing them anywhere on the head is a good bet. This technique is frequently used in a close situation in which you're unable to set up another technique because you don't have enough maneuvering room.
4. Groin kick. The groin area is notoriously sensitive. Knee your attacker's crotch area as hard as you can. Although this works best for male attackers, it can be a sensitive area for females too. This method should give you a second or two to get away, particularly if the attacker hasn't yet gotten a firm grasp on you.
5. Pulling, biting, and scratching. If there are no nearby objects that you can use as a weapon, and you have no experience with physical fights, these are the three techniques of last resort. Pull the hair, bite the skin, or scratch at the attacker's face with your fingernails.
While these moves can free you from an attacker's grasp, they should only be used as a last resort. The worst-case scenario is being confronted by an attacker when you have nothing with which to fight back. Of course, it is always better to avoid potential attacks in the first place, or fight back using self defense devices designed to get you out of these kinds of situations. But if these options are unavailable, you must know how to protect yourself.
