A boxer asked me this question recently, so a couple of days ago I had someone punch me in the face...

Oh, yeah, and we put it on video.

It's here and also on my home page.

Go check it out at http://www.hikuta.com/index.html

How to Beat a Street Fighter - Part 2

What do I do if a street fighter is trying to kick me?

That's a question I received recently by email.

...I thought this was such a great question that I decided I should tell you my answer.
Here's how to neutralize virtually all kicks.

Move.

What? Too simple?

Well, I like to keep things simple.

We forget the complex stuff when a fight really happens, so why bother with it.

Okay. Let's get back to neutralizing the kick.

If you move in any direction your body will not be in the place where the kicker needs you to be to have power in his kick. Too bad for him.

Now if you move back or to the sides, his kick will probably miss or be very weak.

However, the encounter will not be over.

A better way is to move toward the kicker as your hand comes up with a powerful open hand strike, high on the attacker's chest.

You should aim at the area between the chin and the sternum.

Your open hand strike should slow down, stop or possibly even knock the kicker onto the ground, thus ending the attack with just one move.

You could also slam your forearm into his chest with similar results.

As for his kick, he'll probably bump his knee into your leg and never even be able to deliver his kick. Again, too bad for him.

Well, I hope you don't need to use this information, but here it is just in case.

Be Strong!

P.S. Oh, by the way, to help you be effective with this technique, use the startle move shown in my video.

How to beat a street fighter - Part 1

Here's what you can do if a street fighter is swinging at you, trying to punch your face.

Quickly move towards the attacker, to use one of your forearms to smash his mid-chest area. (This assumes that he is suddenly right in front of you and that you must defend yourself)

Keep your other hand up near your face, ready to defend.

Stomp with the foot that you use to step toward the attacker at the same time or slightly before you hit him with your forearm. This will increase your power.

If this doesn’t knock him flat on his back then start using your hands and forearms to explosively batter his face. (People don’t like to get hit in the face.)

Your movement should be like a temper tantrum, an adult size temper tantrum; quick and explosive.

He will be at your mercy as you deliver your wrath.

Your goal should be to quickly end it and leave.

If you’ve trained your reflexes, it will be easy for you to end the fight.

If you haven’t trained your reflexes…

Be strong,

Dangerous drinking fountain

Walking up to a drinking fountain can be cool and refreshing or violent and deadly.

I'm not referring to the germs that you'll find on some public drinking fountains.

Have you ever watched how people use a drinking fountain?

Most of them just push the button and stick their face in the water.

Although you might see a few of them look around slightly side to side before they drink.
You may also notice them looking around while they drink as they try to stay alert.

These alert people remind me of an ancient warrior named Gideon.

When he brought his men to take a drink at a stream, he watched them carefully.

Those who lapped up the water like a dog, oblivious to their surroundings were sent home, but those who were alert, looking all around while they drank were deemed fit for battle.

So what do drinking fountains and Gideon have to do with you? Good question.

The point is to stay alert when using a public drinking fountain.

Also keep in mind that you can push yourself away from the drinking fountain to quickly move away or defend yourself more quickly if necessary.

If someone gets really close to you and they have a weapon you could spit the water at their face to make them blink right before punching their face. Then get away.

Although, considering the cleanliness of some public drinking fountains you should try to always have bottled water with you so you can bypass the fountain.

Have a great week!

Its amazing what we can endure

Its amazing what we can endure.

Veteran police officer Peter Soulis was shot while checking on a suspect who was parked at a gas station at around midnight.

Then a gun battle began between the suspect and officer Soulis.
Soulis was shot several times, but the suspect was shot
22 times.

The suspect lived for 4 minutes afterward.
It's amazing what the human body can endure.

If you ever get shot, just realize that it's not over like they show you in Hollywood movies.
If you're alive after the first shot, chances are that you'll survive if you can get away or stop the threat.

I would learn some good self-defense to help you learn how to get away and also how to stop this type of threat.

I also recommend that you avoid gas stations late at night.

Be strong,

What a gal!

Recently two illegal aliens, Raphael Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, broke through the front door of a home where 11 year old Patricia was home alone in Butte, Montana.

Patricia was upstairs in her room when the two men broke through the front door. She then ran to get her father's shotgun.

As Resindez came to the top of the stairs, Patricia defended herself by firing into the man's mid section. The wound was fatal and he never had a chance to use his 45 caliber handgun.

Thus the first threat to 11 year old Patricia's life was stopped.

Then Patricia noticed that Garza was about to come up the stairs and fired upon him as he then fled out the door and died out on the street. This second threat to Patricia's life was also stopped.

Thank God she was the clay shooting champion since she was 9 years old. It probably saved her life.

We never know when our life will be threatened but it sure helps to be prepared.

Be safe,

Kubler Al
