In combating a man with your bare hands, you must learn to use your head, knees, and feet as well as your hands. The “crowding” act gives you every opportunity to use these parts of your body, especially your elbows.

In combating a man with your bare hands, you must learn to use your head, knees, and feet as well as your hands. The “crowding” act gives you every opportunity to use these parts of your body, especially your elbows. Another simple method while crowding with your opponent is to step on your opponent’s foot. It has unexpected results. The one point to bear in mind when you are being attacked by a thug is the fact that the thug has but a one-track mind. He thinks in but one groove, which is bent on your destruction, rarely considering what you can do, in which case you always have the psychological advantage on your side. With efficiency comes confidence and self-reliance.
