In a previous article I discussed seven good ways to help end a fight quickly. It is important to understand that there are, perhaps, hundreds of ways to end a fight quicker than merely striking at each other like people in a crazy barrage of sloppy hand swings. This will not win you a fight efficiently-if at all. So, one must understand that the simplest but most damaging, pain inducing method will be the best way to end a fight quickly. Here are five more:
1. If you know how to ground fight well and am only fighting ONE person, take them to the ground and submit them. A lot of people think they can wrestle well, but if you know how to ground fight they'll have no chance. A submission will only take three seconds and they'll be screaming in pain.
2. Takedown. If you can get in and sweep their feet without much problem, do it. Knocking someone to the ground fast and hard will knock the breath from their lungs and put their mind in a daze. From there you can mount their chest and pound them, run away, or submit them. The best way to get to this point is to continually strike them, then as they are trying to defend or are off balance, grab them or sweep them.
3. Target the ears. Before I mentioned hitting the eyes, solar plexus, neck and groin. But hitting the ears can be devastating as well. It will knock off their equilibrium (balance) and give them a heck of a lot of pain. Plus, just under the ear is a nerve area in the jaw: a knock out point. If you can punch hard and fast, target these areas.
4. When advancing, step on their foot. Yeah, it causes pain. It's not the pain that is valuable though... it keeps them from moving, and if they do try to move, they will most likely trip and fall.
5. Destroy the knees. Learn to have a good side kick, roundhouse kick and front kick. After striking high with your hands a few times, the attacker will not be thinking about his legs. In fact, most people don't expect you to kick at all. Quickly deliver low kicks to the knees and rake the shin. Not only is it excruciatingly painful, but no one can go on fighting with a knee broken in the wrong way.
These techniques are brutal and for use in a self defense situation ONLY (except the first one which is better for a match type fight with a neighborhood punk or something). Do not try these in sparring, or if some is just being rough with you at school. There are better ways to deal with bullies as long as they aren't threatening your life, or seriously threatening your well-being. Nevertheless, train them. They are valuable reactions/skills to have.
