Most Effective Self Defense Techniques

Safe self defense technique?

This is purely out of curiosity, but a while ago i saw on youtube (Though not the most credible source, i know) a self defense video of a man striking another on the bundle of nerves on the side of the neck directly below the jawline and underneath the ear, and behind the trachea with an open handed strike. The result was that the volunteer was knocked unconscious, and had to be revived by the demonstrator.

My question, is that is this technique particularly dangerous, and is it possible to snap the neck/vertebrae in the process without extensive training?

This method seems to be extremely effective, but i'd like to know what the real risks involved are.

Again, i'm just curious...not planning on KO'ing anybody...



That's not a suitable self defense technique for an untrained individual nor is it very easy to apply in a live situation. 1st, it requires a significant amount of training to get the body to move in the correct way to make that strike effective, then as much training on accuracy so you can hit a resisting target.

2nd, it's hard to hit the side of the neck on a resisting opponent without first setting up the strike with prior techniques to disrupt the attacker's balance and position. And, finally, it's even harder to strike a trained fighter in the side of the neck because so many are trained to keep the jaw tucked below the shoulder and that covers the neck as well.

All said, that demonstration was more to show the potential use of that particular demonstrator's style for self-defense rather than show a technique that just anyone can use.

Guys are extremely vulnerable there, and so this area should never be targeted since it could cause sterility!
It's unfeminine!
It's emotionally and psychologically humiliating for the guy!

There are many other effective techniques the weaker sex can employ to stop an attacker:
Kick to shin
Kick to knee
instep stomp
palm heel to face



If someone was trying to rape me, then you'd bet I'd kick him in the balls. Why should I care if some rapist is emotionally or psychologically humiliated or if it's unfeminine? A rapist isn't so concerned with their victims emotional or psychological well-being. You would have to do whatever you gotta do in that type of situation. And if I found someone attacking my daughter, he'd be one dead MF!
