As your assailant begins to throw a circular punch toward you, start to raise your elbow upward while at the same time driving your fist forward toward your attacker’s face.

Keep raising the elbow up as you deliver the punch forward. Your fist will be corkscrewing round so that thumb is pointing toward the ground, rather than up.

Continue this rotation of the fist so that the elbow is lifted high. This means that your attacker’s strike will be blocked by your punching arm.

Continue to extend your arm and drive your fist into and through your attacker’s face. You can then follow up on this, using your left arm to deliver further strikes.

Be aware that this is not a “power” punch as such, because you will be connecting with the smaller, weaker knuckles of the hand—you should instead think of it as a “jabbing” punch that interrupts your attacker’s assault and rhythm, and allows you the opportunity to set up further strikes of your own.

Other Attacking Tools

Biting

A real-life fight is a dirty thing, and as such, nothing can ever be ruled out. If you are fighting for survival—and this is the only reason you should be fighting—everything and anything should be used. This includes biting. Although we don’t possess the jaw and bite strength of a Rottweiler or a pit bull, biting can be an effective tool for us to use. It is worth pointing out that clothing can often render biting ineffectual, so it should never be seen as a silver bullet, though it definitely does have its time and place.
