As part of a Karate class we do a little bit of self defence. We’ve been shown some very effective and probably quite divesting techniques that hopefully I, or anyone else will never have to use. The first one though is to avoid confrontation in the first place, the second is to remain in control, the third is to let your attacker have it.
One of the guys was mugged at a cash point about a year ago and took down his assailant with Combination 4b (kick to the balls, smack in the mouth, open handed thrust to the body). The mugger was so surprised that a little fat guy had floored him that he had another go… and got flattened again.
After that he ran away and turned himself to the Police, where they watched the footage on CCTV.
