Close your hand into a fist or keep it open and lead with the base of your palm. Quickly and forcefully strike your attacker in the soft spot just below their sternum (breastbone).  This move will most likely knock the wind out of your attacker, especially if they don’t tense their abdominal muscles beforehand. Turn and run away while they are temporarily disabled. Like all the single-move strikes described here, the goal is to stun your attacker long enough so that you can flee. Follow up with additional strikes only if you cannot run away. If your attacker raises up one of their arms, chop as hard as you can at their exposed armpit. Use the side of your hand below the pinky. This will cause their arm to go numb temporarily, and also causes quite a bit of short-term pain.  Depending on your positioning, you could also drive your elbow into their exposed armpit. You must strike as hard as you can for this to be effective. Aim at the base of their neck, just above the collarbone and to one side of the windpipe. Strike them with the side of your open hand, just below your pinky.  This strike is always painful, and it may cause them to lose their breath or—if you hit their carotid artery forcefully—lose consciousness. If you’re unable to produce a full strike, even poking the area forcefully with your fingertips may stun your attacker. Drive your knee as hard as you can between a male attacker’s legs. Your goal is to crush their testicles with your kneecap. Run away while they are stunned.  Don’t kick with your foot, since your attacker may be able to grab your leg and knock you down. A knee strike is much quicker and harder to defend, especially if you are close to your attacker. If you can’t use your knee, squeeze your attacker’s testicles as hard as you can with your hand, then run. A knee to the groin may work on a female attacker as well. Cup your hand slightly and strike your attacker in the side of their head, right over their ear. In addition to the pain it causes, this strike may rupture their eardrum, causing additional pain and disorientation.  You’re more likely to rupture their eardrum if they have their mouth open when you strike. You can use both your hands to strike both their ears at the same time. Kick quickly but forcefully so that the inner side of your foot, just below your ankle, strikes just to the outside of one of their kneecaps. Your goal is to buckle their knee and render them unable to follow as you run away.  It’s quite possible that you’ll rupture the ligaments in their knee with this move, so only use it on an attacker. But when you must use it, strike with all your might. If you can’t kick the side of their knee, a stomping kick with the bottom of your foot to the front of their kneecap may also buckle their knee. Aim the base of your palm at their nostrils and strike as hard as you can in an upward motion. You’ll probably break their nose, causing searing pain, lots of bleeding, and watering eyes that will cloud their vision.  Depending on your positioning, driving your elbow or knee into their nose this way can also produce the same effect. Done forcefully enough, it is possible for this move to do catastrophic, and potentially fatal, damage. Extend your first two fingers and stab at their eyes like you’re one of the Three Stooges, but attack seriously and with all your might. Alternatively, focus your attack on one eye with your finger or thumb.  Don’t be squeamish or hesitant when you’re being attacked. Drive your fingers into their eye sockets. If they can’t see you, they can’t attack you. It’s possible you’ll cause permanent eye damage, but it was their choice to attack you. Even if they’re able to raise their hand to block your eye attack, that will give you a window of opportunity to either turn and run or to use a second attack (like a knee to the groin). The windpipe is one of the most fragile and vulnerable spots on the human body. Any direct, forceful blow will leave your attacker unable to breathe, and a blow that crushes their windpipe can be fatal.  If your attacker has an Adam’s apple, aim directly for it. Squeezing an attacker’s windpipe forcefully enough between your fingers and thumb can also temporarily (or even permanently) crush it.
