| This technique will also allow a good clinch set up from | | | | closest to the attacker. With this foot drive through his |
| a kick combination. With some practice this | | | | knee. Please note I did not say snap yes this will hurt |
| combination can be so successful as to stop the | | | | but not cause that first class pain that stops the |
| attacker dead in his tracks. Just remember not to put | | | | attackers brain function for a second or two. And a |
| all your eggs into one basket. Although this is a great | | | | second is all you need to finish the whole thing. If you |
| technique there are many variations possible on the | | | | can make his knee lock full back on it's self you may |
| street and you need to keep an open mind and be | | | | stop him there and then. But we will not rely on this.As |
| prepared to adapt to any possibility's.Now lets get to | | | | soon as the front leg has finished attacking the knee. |
| the point.For the set up we assume the attacker is | | | | Strike with your rear leg as hard as you can with your |
| facing you either square on (this would suggest two | | | | shin or knee. Aim for the center of the thigh (that's mid |
| things, he is either very confident or very stupid) or | | | | way between the knee and the hip) there is in fact a |
| more likely some sort of side on position (observably | | | | major nerve here you should try to hit him so hard the |
| making it harder to attack his groin). He may or may | | | | your knee or shin cuts through the muscle to the bone |
| not have his guard up.In fact this is a really good point | | | | causing very extreme pain. This can cause enough |
| to discuss before we go on. Loads of people practice | | | | pain to prevent the attacker continuing or even walking |
| there so called street fighting / self defense techniques | | | | if done hard enough. To develop power in you shin or |
| from a full on fighting stance you know arms up | | | | knee strike practice on a heavy bag or |
| covering head and body with elbows protecting ribs | | | | shield.Depending on your existing skillsBut yet again we |
| and of course this makes good sense. But in reality | | | | will not rely on this alone. Now depending on your |
| most fights do NOT start from this position. In fact | | | | existing skills you can either use grappling skills like (As |
| many fights are over before you can even form this | | | | promised he is now in an ideal position for a clinch) |
| position. So yes do practice from the guard but also | | | | sweeping throwing techniques. Or strong hand |
| practice from a variety of different standing positions | | | | techniques to finish.Not fixed to this |
| and in between stance positions. Most street scum will | | | | technique.Remember you are not fixed to this |
| not wait for you to square up and form your | | | | technique if you see another great opening take it. Or |
| defensive posture first. Yes I know they all do this in | | | | may be there is a chance to run if so then take it. No |
| UFC etc but that is nothing like a street fight.Any way | | | | prizes for being the strong man on the street the only |
| this time I promise to get to the pointSo as we said the | | | | prize is if you are still alive any which way you can.If |
| attacker is facing you. You are in a forward stance. | | | | you would like to learn street fighting techniques and |
