Most of the closed fist punch to a hard target results in a broken hand some of the time but not all. The statement that a open hand strike cannot injure your open hand striking a hard target is not fully true. Yes if you hit the attacker at the right angle and the right amount of force you will never get hurt by using open palm. But using palm heel at a slightly different angle and targeted at the sternum can break your wrist. The picture bellow is a palm surgery scar after fracturing the scaphoid by using the palm heel strike. Yet the palm strikes are safer but also slower and have less range. If you do choose to use the open palm to defend yourself be careful and make sure you know what you are doing. Use the part of your palm that is shown down below. You should not use too much force then you can injure yourself. Personally i would use both their are cases that you need to use one and another cases for the other...
Yes this is the self defense move from Miss Congeniality. S.I.N.G. acronym is an excellent defense strategy. As well as being funny is also is an actually a pretty useful self defense technique. First for what S.I.N.G. stands for is solarplex (guts) instep (foot) nose (thing in the middle of your face) and groin(where babies come from).release all of your air from your lungs when you strike to prepare you for a counter attack. To inflict pain in the foot (instep), it also causes pain in the shins. Noise it blinds for a few moments so u can get away but adding the groin makes it to were your attacker is on the grown so you can defiantly run away.
The best self-defense move is to hit the most sensitive parts of the body of your attacker. You want to aim for the parts of the body where you can do the most damage easily. That will inflict injury so you can get away. : the eyes, nose, ears, neck, groin, knee, and legs. Effective strikes can be made with the outer edge of your hand. I think this is one of the most effective because you get a quick response and is very useful to anyone who is being attacked and need a way out fast. |
