Cycling Hammer-Fist Strikes

Striking combinations, from a self-defense perspective, do not have to be complex; in fact, there is no reason to throw a myriad of different strikes at your assailant if repeating the same strike over and over again is effective. Because the strike and recoil of the downward or vertical hammer-fist are circular in nature, the hand/fist can easily be pulled back up, ready to make another strike, without there having to be a break in the movement of the arm. This means you can land multiple hammer-fist strikes in quick succession, without giving your assailant an opportunity to attack/counterattack.

By moving forward, and, if necessary, using your left hand to push/strike your attacker’s face (in order for it to be in place for your next strike) you should be able to land a large number of powerful strikes using just a hammer-fist.

Combining Eye/Throat Strikes and Range-Finders with Hammer-Fists

While a good eye or throat strike is effective at disrupting an attacker, at some point you will need to deliver forceful concussive strikes that will start to cause extreme pain and trauma to your assailant. A good follow-up strike to these strikes is to use the hammer-fist in a cyclical fashion to repeatedly beat down on your attacker. This may not seem like a particularly sophisticated solution; however, it is a simple and effective one that sees you laying down a lot of firepower in an aggressive and determined manner. If you can strike in such a way that there are few spaces and gaps between your strikes, it will be almost impossible for your assailant to launch any assault of their own. Your goal is not to fight your attacker, but to assault them with an all-out blitz that they are unable to cope with. Simplicity and aggression are often better friends than sophistication, where violence is concerned.
