Number 1 Self Defense Technique (Physical): The Eye Strike
Listen, the number one technique I'm going to teach you is going to go to the number one vital area. If you get nothing else from me, and I mean this, nothing else from this website or from my teachings please get this one across and pass it along.
The eyes are the most vulnerable area on a person. Within the confines of an actual assault, those eyes are going to become available. So, what you want to do is you want to have your hands up, in your arm guard position, hands ready, say you don't want anything to with this. He comes too close now. You have to have a full attention and intent to get in to those eyes. You must get past the gross out factor here, because what is gross is what your assailant wants to do to you. So, your choice - him or you, it is that simple.
So, again, from the ready position from here, you say listen I want nothing to do at this, you are protecting yourself. Your hands are already there. Why are your hands are there? It is protecting your vital areas. Your heart right up to your own eyes. So, that’s why your hands go up there.
So from that natural instinct you are just going to go from there. Now, it’s on you, you have to flick that switch, that trigger in yourself and dig in to the eyes. With the thumbs, rotate in, going past the cheeks, and back. This technique can also to be done in the dark, which is also very, very useful. Alright, which in most cases, the assailant and attacker, rape especially happens at nighttime or in the dark. So from here if you can feel up and you are going to find your spot and dig it.
So watch that slowly again, and dig. The realistic fast speed. The number one technique going to number one vital area - the eye gouge.
