Even if a person is guarding their face or head, making it difficult to throw elbow strikes at it, you don’t necessarily have to use hook punches to get around their guard. A very simple solution is to use one hand to hook around and clear their blocking arms so that you are able to strike them.

Another simple way to open a person’s guard up…

…is to grab the wrist of one of the arms (it is often easier to grab their left arm with your left hand, and vice versa) and pull the arm down to expose the head.

This will allow you to throw elbow strikes and/or similar attacks toward your assailant’s face.

If there is space between your assailant’s arms, you could also come through the middle of their guard with a slicing uppercut elbow.

Assume your de-escalation/interview stance.

Step/slide forward with your left foot, turning your hand in, and start to raise your elbow. Your rear hand should start to pull back in order to come back and guard your head.

Keep raising the elbow in a circular fashion toward the target.
