Grappling/Extremely Close Range—Following the takedown, many of the offensive tools that are effective at close range remain so on the ground.

Natural Weapons of the Body

Just about every part of your body can be used as a weapon to strike, pin, leverage or distract your opponent. This is especially true in the clinching and grappling range where tools like shoulder bumps and headbutts are very effective.

1) HEAD—to strike with the top or the back of your skull.

2) TEETH—for biting, tearing or gnawing on an opponent in an extreme life-or-death situation.

3) HANDS—an instinctual and effective tool that can cause a high amount of damage to your opponent. There is a risk of hurting your hand when throwing punches.

CLOSED HANDS

Punch—the traditional boxer’s weapon used for throwing jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts.

Hammerfist—a closed fist that hits with the bottom, meaty portion of the hand.

OPEN HANDS

Palm—to stun or push an opponent.

Fingers—to grab, poke, gouge, or pinch an opponent.
