Step toward them and deliver a hammer-fist into their neck or the side of their face.

Once you have struck them, immediately turn back toward your original assailant. If they haven’t already started to move toward you, they are likely to now. Use the follow-through motion of your strike to set yourself up to make a downward hammer-fist strike.

Step toward your first attacker and start to deliver downward hammer-fist strikes against them. Keep driving forward and delivering strikes so that you have dealt with them before the second attacker recovers. In multiple-assailant situations, you should try to take one attacker out at a time, rather than dividing your efforts and attention among them.

Forearm Strikes

The forearm can also be used as an effective striking tool, in a similar fashion to the horizontal hammer-fist. Although it is a slower-moving strike, it requires less accuracy, as is has a much larger striking surface—and it has the advantage of bringing the whole weight of the arm to bear. It can also be used at a closer range, making it an effective tool for creating space. A forearm strike works extremely well when it is brought down at a 45-degree angle against the neck and throat. You may also end up connecting with the forearm by chance if an attacker moves toward you as you are throwing a hammer-fist strike against them.
