-
- This file will teach you how you can kill another person with your own two
- hands. The information presented here will be very helpful to the beginner and
- will also serve as a refresher for those of you already familiar with the
- subject.
-
- I will start off by talking about basic things such as stance, what you should
- and shouldn't do when fighting and other information that the beginner will
- need to know. Then, I will give you a list of over 20 vulnerable points that
- one should always try attacking in a fight along with the way these points
- should be attacked. Finally, I will give you some more fighting tips and
- information on how you can continue learning about hand-to-hand combat.
-
- ^*^
-
- Now, let me discuss some of the basics you will need to know when you are in
- any combat situation.
-
- Stance
- ------
- The best stance when confronting an enemy is to put your feet at shoulders
- length apart and your arms should be facing forward, parallel to each other and
- bent at the elbows. Keep your knees slightly bent and stand on the balls of
- your feet.
-
- Remember, you always want to maintain this stance when you are not striking at
- the enemy.
-
- Balance
- -------
- It is always important that you keep your balance. If you use the stance I have
- described above, you will never have to worry about it. If by chance you do
- lose your balance even for a second you can kiss your ass goodbye as the enemy
- will probably kill you.
-
- Aggressiveness
- --------------
- Always be aggressive and always attack. Don't just stand back and defend
- yourself against the enemy's strikes as he will end up killing you eventually.
- If you are not aggressive, the enemy will think you are scared and he will have
- an advantage over you.
-
- A great thing to do is yell at the enemy. This will scare the shit out of him
- if you start yelling at him and plus it also allows you to get more oxygen in
- your lungs so you will have more strength.
-
- Natural Weapons
- ---------------
- Your natural weapons are as follows: knife edge of either hand, the heel of
- your hands, your fingers folded at the second knuckle, your boot, your elbow,
- your knees, your teeth, your fore finger and second finger forming a "V" shape,
- and your fist. These body parts alone are some of the most powerful weapons you
- can use.
-
- ^*^
-
- Since you now know the basics of fighting, let me list for you the best places
- where you should strike your enemy.
-
- Temple
- ------
- A sharp blow to the temple ensures instant death since there is a large artery
- and nerve located close to the skin surface. If you give a medium blow to the
- temple it will cause severe pain and concussion but a hard blow will kill the
- enemy instantly. The best way to strike the temple is with the knife edge of
- your hand or if he is on the ground you can kick him with the toe of your boot.
-
- Eyes
- ----
- The eyes are a great place to strike if you can since a good strike in the eyes
- will cause temporary or permanent blindness. To blind the enemy, make a "V"
- shape with your fore finger and second finger and stick them into his eyes
- while keeping your fingers stiff. Also, you can gouge the eyes with your thumb.
-
- Nose
- ----
- The nose is another excellent place to attack. Hit the bridge with the knife
- edge of your hand and you will cause breakage, severe pain, temporary blindness
- and even death. Or you can use the palm of your hand to strike upwards and push
- the nose up into his brain. If done hard enough the nose bone will puncture his
- brain and he will die.
-
- Upper Lip
- ---------
- The upper lip contains a lot of nerves close to the skin surface so if you
- strike it with the knife edge of your hand it will cause great pain and if
- delivered hard enough he will become unconscious.
-
- Mouth
- -----
- If the enemy is on the ground, use the heel of your boot and strike him on the
- mouth. Since there are a lot of veins and arteries in the teeth there will be a
- lot of blood which will frighten the enemy and he will lose concentration on
- defending other parts of his body.
-
- Chin
- ----
- The chin should only be struck with the palm of your hand as you can break your
- fingers on the enemy's chin. Use the palm of your hand and strike the enemy
- with a very strong upward blow. This will cause extreme discomfort.
-
- Adam's Apple
- ------------
- Usually the enemy will defend this part of his body well but if you do get the
- chance give it a sharp hit with the knife edge of your hand. If you hit it hard
- enough you will bust his windpipe and he will die. You can also squeeze the
- Adam's Apple between your fingers.
-
- Esophagus
- ---------
- If you have a chance to get a hold of his neck, press your thumbs into his
- esophagus (located below the Adam's Apple). Pushing hard will be very painful
- and it will block the oxygen flow to his lungs and he will die quickly.
-
- Neck
- ----
- If you give a very strong blow to the base of the neck with the knife edge of
- your hand you will usually break it. However, if it is not hard enough, the
- enemy might just be knocked unconscious so be sure to hit him in the temple or
- twist his neck around to be sure he is dead. The neck is the best place to hit
- someone if you want to be quiet as it is quick and the enemy goes down without
- a word.
-
- Collar Bone
- -----------
- The collar bone is an extremely sensitive part of the body. A sharp blow to it
- with the knife edge of your hand or your elbow gives the enemy excruciating
- pain. Also, digging your finger into the collar bone can bring your enemy to
- his knees.
-
- Shoulder
- --------
- The shoulder is easy dislocated and it takes little strength to do. However, it
- should be done quickly. Grab the enemy's arm and pull it behind his back and
- then jerk it upwards quickly. You should here a popping sound which means you
- have dislocated the enemy's shoulder. There are other methods of doing this but
- this is the easiest.
-
- Armpit
- ------
- Although it is hard to get at, the armpit has a large network of nerves. If the
- enemy is on the ground, hold up his arm and then kick him in his pit. This will
- cause severe pain. However, it is not a very common place that will be struck
- in a fight but is good to keep in mind anyways.
-
- Rib Cage
- --------
- A strike to the rib cage with your fingers folded at the second knuckle is
- rather painful and if done hard enough causes severe pain and breakage. Only
- use your fingers folded at the second knuckle since that hurts the most.
-
- Solar Plexus
- ------------
- The solar plexus is located on the chest at the little "V" shaped point where
- the rib cage ends. There are a large amount of nerves so a blow with the
- knuckle of your second finger can cause severe pain and even unconsciousness.
-
- Floating Ribs
- -------------
- The floating ribs are the lower ribs located at the front and sides of the
- enemy's body. Use the knife edge of your hand or the heel or toe of your boot.
- The blow will cause pain and will stun the enemy.
-
- Spine
- -----
- A blow to the spine with the heel of your boot can paralyze or kill your enemy.
- The lower spine between the enemy's kidneys is the best place to hit as that is
- the least protected part of the spine. You will only be able to attack the
- spine when your enemy is on the ground or if his back is turned to you.
-
- Kidneys
- -------
- The kidneys have two large nerves that are close to the skin surface. If you
- strike the kidneys hard it will cause death. You can use a fist or the knife
- edge of your hand to hit the kidneys. Or a kick with the heel of your boot will
- work too.
-
- Groin
- -----
- The groin is a good place to strike if you get the chance. Generally, the enemy
- will protect this area the most but if you have a chance, strike it with your
- knee in an upward motion or with your fist. I'm sure you can imagine the pain
- the enemy will get from it.
-
- Tailbone
- --------
- The tailbone which is located above the anus is a very sensitive part of the
- body as a lot of spinal nerves are located there. Use the toe of your boot to
- strike the tailbone. The pain from that is unbelievably severe.
-
- Elbow
- -----
- The elbow is easy to break or dislocate. Pull the enemy's arm behind him and
- with the palm of your hand push his elbow inwards until it either cracks or
- pops. When the enemy has a useless arm, you have a great advantage over him.
-
- Fingers
- -------
- The fingers should be broken because the enemy becomes almost helpless with
- broken fingers. Grab the enemy's arm with one hand and with the other hand push
- the fingers upwards until they snap. It is only necessary to break the first
- two fingers. It is also helpful in breaking a grip.
-
- Knee
- ----
- You can destroy the knee by kicking it with the side of your boot in an upward
- motion. This will rip the ligaments and the cartilage. This will cause
- unbelievable pain and make it impossible for the enemy to move around. Once a
- knee has been ruined, you will have a great advantage over the enemy.
-
- Ankle
- -----
- If the enemy is on the ground, get a hold of his ankle and twist it until it
- snaps. This will make it almost impossible for him to walk and he will then be
- easy to kill.
-
- ^*^
-
- Let me talk about some more important things you should remember when you are
- fighting somebody.
-
- Tactics
- -------
- Always try to throw your enemy off balance. You can do this by charging the
- enemy and pretending to strike him. This will make him flinch and lose his
- balance.
-
- Always look for a weak spot and attack it. Whenever he leaves a vulnerable part
- of his body unprotected attack it with all your strength. By doing this, he
- will then try to protect the part of his body that you just struck thus leaving
- even more unprotected parts open.
-
- Use any available object that you can. By this I mean throw sand in his eyes,
- block his strikes by hitting him with a large branch, or any other kind of
- available material that can be used as a weapon against him.
-
- Foul Play
- ---------
- In a life or death situation there is no such thing as foul play and there are
- no rules either. Although hitting someone in the groin is considered a cheap
- shot in high school, it is a very effective way of destroying your enemy. Just
- hit him where you can and kick him when he's down. That way, he will never get
- back up again.
-
- ^*^
-
- I have now explained to you the basics of fighting and the best places to
- attack your enemy on his body. Just because you have read this file doesn't
- mean you will be able to go out and kick somebody's ass in. These methods take
- a lot of practice in order to do them properly.
-
- If you enjoyed this file and would like to practice these methods get a partner
- who is also interested in this and work on each type of strike and kick. When
- you first start out, go slowly and remember that these methods are deadly and
- do not require much force to be effective so take it easy on your partner.
-
- Some of you may decide that practicing is not enough and you would like to
- learn more than what I have told you in the above. Well, there are several good
- books with illustrations on this subject which go into much more detail than I
- ever could in this file. The book I used mainly to write this file was "The
- Marine Corps Field Manual on Physical Security". You can get this book through
- a good book store or if you happen to know a marine, he can get you a copy very
- easily.
-
- There are also camps where you can go for 1-2 weeks to learn all sorts of
- things like this such as firing weapons, detailed hand-to-hand combat, doing
- raids on enemies and all sorts of other stuff like that. The instructors that
- teach these programs are well trained and have had years of experience with
- this. However, usually you have to be 18 years or older to get into these
- programs and you have to be very serious about it as well. This is not one of
- those programs where you can say "Time-out, I need to rest." They don't stop
- just to suit you. To get more information about these programs, you can usually
- find out about them in magazines like "Soldier of Fortune" and other magazines
- with similar theme.
-
- ^*^
-
- Well, that's it for now. Perhaps in the future I can discuss the fun stuff like
- fighting people with knives and all the other lethal weapons you can use in a
- fight. If you liked this file, let me know and I will continue on with this
- subject.
