This is the list of of the 20 anatomical vulnerable points that one should always try attacking in a
fight. Also you will learn the way these points should be attacked. Remember that this is just and
introduction to the techniques ,equally good for women and man, but mastering them sometimes
required intense training and many years, always avoid using them unless is a real emergency
where you encounter yourself out of options. But first:

2. Don't take unnecessary risk (the underpass might save a minute, but "better late in this world
than early in the next "-as my Great Aunt used to say). Think about dangerous places, bank
machines, car parks, anywhere where you are alone (always lock the car when you get into it -get
the habit).

2. Protect yourself at all time. Going to help someone is very heroic, but it is better to keep yourself safe and call for help from the professionals (after all that is what we pay our taxes for) and can be a trap of course, just call me paranoid.

3. Robbers and muggers are generally after your wallet, purse, mobile phone, walkman etc. they probably want this without a fight, obilige them; and certainly don't chase after them and get run over and killed (as sadly happened not long ago in London). But remember these people are scum and will have no "morals" about causing you harm.

4. Don't panic. Think of a way out. Leg it and shout fire (don't scream people will think you are
messing about). Street fighting is very dangerous, particularly with every wimp in the place
carrying knives.

5. Ladies, many self defense courses teach -go for the "vulnerables". Well it a good "package
check" does hurt, and I speak from experience, but remember that it is not an easy, or large, target
to get (particularly if the assailant is on guard). Shouting, struggling, and resisting works well.

6. Rape is about power (not sex), and men are at risk as well. Statistics show that two are less
likely to be attacked than one. Also, the use of drugs in drinks (so called date rape drug) has been
on the increase; but just being drunk is going to reduce your power of "Assessing the situation".
So will being on the phone, or plugged into a walkman.

7. Remember the fundamentals of self defense are Stamina (the ability to wear down your attacker
etc.).Reflexes (learnt "subconscious" responses to punches like blocks etc.), and Technique
(various options that can be used, a kick or arm lock etc.) A two day self defense course is great
start, but that will only give you the fundamentals of Technique.

The best stance when confronting an enemy is to position yourself in such a way that your feet are
equally in distance apart, 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. Maintain this stance
when you are not striking at your opponent.
