Expert Answer

Honestly, there’s not one technique or “move”that can be dubbed the “best” way to end a fight. Each situation is different. The best way to end a fight is whatever technique, or combination of technique and physical conditioning that is needed in that particular situation. Consistent self defense training can help you develop your instincts and skills, though.

Question

If the attacker and I are holding each other's shirts, how can I remove his hands quickly enough for me to headbutt or knee the attacker's face?

Community Answer

Release your grip and immediately place your arms in L shapes (clenched fist) parallel to each other, inside of both of his arms, and force outward. Pushing his grip in opposite ways will unbalance him.

Question

This kid keeps jumping on me from behind. He usually falls down and just lays there, but how do I throw a punch at him?

Community Answer

Turn around as quickly as possible before he jumps and punch his midsection as hard as possible. Or just never turn your back on him!

Question

Could I repeatedly knee someone and knock them out?

Community Answer

It is recommended that you only strike with your knee once as hard as you can to induce knockout. Any more than this may cause permanent damage.

Question

How do I pull someone down to knee him if he is stronger than me?

Community Answer

If he is moving toward you, then try to use his momentum against him. If you stop his forward motion near his legs or feet, then he will naturally fall towards you and you can knee him. If he is motionless, then wait for him to throw a punch or something that gets him moving forward. Then just use the same steps.

Question

Will an elbow to the sensitive spot on their forehead knock them out?

Philip Alexandros

Community Answer

It is pretty difficult to land an elbow hit to the face. You should try a kick to the body followed by a cross punch to the face and then an elbow hit with the other hand.

Question

Is it possible to kill someone by hitting him in the balls?

Spaceship

Community Answer

While you probably won’t kill your opponent if you hit him in the groin, it will likely incapacitate him.

Question

What if I'm short and they attack me?

Spaceship

Community Answer

If you are fighting someone who is larger and stronger then you, use your smaller size to your advantage. Smaller people often have the speed advantage in fights as they can overwhelm their opponents and knock them out.

Question

Will a kick to the groin knock a man out?

Spaceship

Community Answer

Not usually, kicking the groin will not knock out your opponent but it may incapacitate your opponent to give you sufficient time to flee.

Question

I tried but I am weak, so they knocked me out instead. How do I prevent that from happening?

Vernon Hulme

Community Answer

Use speed instead of strength. Often times the faster the punch, the harder the blow, as it contains more power.

Question

Can I kill someone by knocking them out?

Community Answer

Yes, there is always a possibility of this. For example, if their hit their head on the concrete, if they already had brain damage it could make their brain shut down, if you hit a fragile part of their body, etc.

Question

How could I knock someone out with a baseball bat?

Community Answer

Unless you face the threat of death and are acting in self defense, you don't. You can easily kill or permanently cripple an opponent by striking in the head with a baseball bat, which means you could face lengthy prison time. There is no "safe" way to simply knock someone out with a baseball bat.
