I'd like to pass on a few self-defense strategies I am sure are effective. As I spent years working as a bouncer and struggling to stay alive behind prison bars, I've discovered some findings that all martial arts students should use in conjunction with their martial art training and street fight studies. The following pointers and tips can mean life or death if you are struggling to fight off a rapist, or fighting off a mugger. Either way these strategies apply for street fighting, not martial arts in the dojo or in competitions like the UFC.

Learn self defense tactics #1 - Don't hesitate to bite if you have the chance. You can bite someones fingers or hands if they are in your face; in other instances, you can bite your attacker's eyebrows, ears, eyes, lips, legs, kidneys, elbow, groin, arms or face, and will discover that clinch fighting became even more dangerous when you use street fighting moves like biting. Yeah, blood is a scary issue, but if your in the middle of a struggle after a bad guy decides its time to kill you, what exactly do you have to worry about? Remember that biting your opponent is dirty and works well.

Learn self defense tactics #2 - If you kick someone, kick only their groin, kneecaps or shins. You better know how to get off the ground quickly if your round house kick to the head makes you fall down. So, keep a steady balance and try to only kick low in order to prevent the attacker from getting any closer. If you are ever about to use a kick in the middle of a fight, remember to use the dirtiest targets as possible. If you can stomp his feet and kick him in the shins followed with a punch to the groin, you just did a valid sequence of self defense moves. You want to be able to pull off this kind of ruthless violence.

Learn self defense tactics #3 - It's important to practice self-defense that will help you in spontaneous situations. You will want to make the scenarios and response as realistic as possible, so practice techniques in a park or open space. Also try training in smaller restricted spaces like in a bedroom or hallway. When I had to fight behind prison walls, the hallways were only 5 feet wide in some areas, so learning how to fight in different atmospheres and terrain with different sized opponents is essential.

Learn self defense tactics #4 - Using an eye gouge is much more effective and harmful than a punch. If you can reach them, gouge your attacker's eye sockets, and then punch them afterwards. Your attacker will be less likely to think he can defeat you if he can't see what he's doing. Or if you can, rip his eyeball completely out. If he is trying to assault or kill you, by all means do what it takes to survive using any street fighting move you know!
