How to fight well when you are being attacked from behind depends on two key factors. Firstly, you move in the correct direction when being attacked. Secondly, and this is important, you can see what’s happening behind you in your fight for survival.
We teach a very simple system of self-defense when attacked from behind. Of course, you can’t fight or defend yourself if you can’t see the punch in the first place. This means that self-defense starts with simple situational awareness. You must be aware of your surroundings, and more importantly, you must be aware of what is happening behind you.
With that in mind, there are simple measures that you can take to avoid being caught unaware. For example, when walking in urban environments avoid walking close to doorways, entrances, or intersections with other pathways. These are potential choke spots where people can step out to follow or grab you. Another helpful self-defense tip requires that you use the reflections of glass, windows, and cars to see what is happening around or behind you.
Having said that, being ambushed from behind can be rare, especially when there are lots of people in the street around you. Therefore, we suggest that you don’t become overly paranoid when doing your local shopping. Simply awareness will suffice.
However, in the event that something should happen this course will help give you the knowledge and the self-defense steps that could make a difference if you are suddenly attacked from behind. Realistically, you will get punched in the face if someone runs up and attacks you from behind without any warning. So in this course, we look at ways to move and defend yourself if your attacker comes from behind. This gives you some chance to fight back.
The other aspect of this course is we will study the body mechanics of the attacker as it relates to the Yin Yang Principle of Kyusho Jutsu. This principle can be studied in depth and can be very powerful when you understand the concepts.
There are 15 Principles of Kyusho Jutsu and Yin Yang is but one. It is a principle that can be combined with other principles or it can stand on its own. In Module 7 of my Kyusho Jutsu Black Belt course, I go through the other principles, but in this course, I have combined the Yin Yang Principle with Rear Attacks. With this relation, you will begin to understand the principle better and be able to have greater control over your attacker.
In our Whiteboard lecture, I will discuss more on the Yin Yang Principle.
Join me in this course, as I teach you the pressure points of the body and how to effectively use them with Rear Attacks to defend yourself from your attacker.
The objective of this course is to make you aware of the pressure point (Kyusho Jutsu) targets to move the odds of the fight in your favor.
TWO DOZEN drills and training exercises to help your understanding of using Pressure Points.
