Honestly, I see where you're coming from. You aren't going to learn martial arts from a book, or from a list of techniques posted on an internet forum. Look how well Daniel learned Karate from a book vs. Some people like to combine knife-hand strike and block into the same technique (I personally separate them in my mind), if you think that way it really opens it up.Knife-hand strikes and ridge-hand strikes can be done lower to target the groin or inner thigh.

This is useful if you have the other guy bent over in a wristlock to chop to the neck.

The ONLY time your thumb should be extended from your hand is if you are going to grab something, i.e. Unless of course you want to break your thumb. NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER do a knife-hand strike with your thumb extended. this doesnt include everything but is a brief overview of them. So, these are my first two statements of the first two moves in get tough, how did i do? I am going to work through all the printed moves in Defendu eventually, hopefully keeping the same structure along the way. Variants: Only varients i see of the strike is the inclusion of a inwards strike using the thumb side as a striking surface and the thumb being kept alongside the fingers not extended outwards in a 90 degree angle. targets include but are not limited to: the Bicep, Neck, Spine, Kidneys, Fore arm, wrist, hand, collar bone and shoulder areaĮffect: Various from broken/fractured bones, to damaged ligaments etc. Use: Only striking from a bent arm in a 90 degree angle and only outwards with the hand downwards. Variants: there is not much difference in how its performed, the only other target to the jaw is the nose which would have reduced injury potential.ĭescription: All fingers kept in a straight line and together with the thumb extended at a 90 degree angle. Use: to strike the jaw/nose and to gouge the eyes.Įffect: It should cause Jaw/mouth damage, perhaps damage to the neck and a concussion. Fingers are used to gouge at the eyes when doing a upwards motion from a bent arm So starting with the first two i remember and the easiest two hand strikes.ĭescription: An open palm strike to the chin with the bottom of the palm. So im going to try and give a description of the technique, its purpose, its intended targets, its general effect, how its done and variations (if applicable) and any notes.

So, im going to hopefully write a thread on the defendu techniques listed in various manuals and sources etc.
