Knowledge is power. Fundamental to comprehensive self defense is knowing all knockout targets on an attacker, so that a defender knows where and which pressure points to counter-attack as an attacker proffers them. This knowledge applied correctly can give a defender a distinct advantage over his or her attacker.
This 5-part series of videos from "Krav Maga Training" on YouTube is an excellent resource for learning all the knockout points, along with severity of injury to each pressure point. Each pressure point is ranked 1-3: 1) fatal, 2) disabling, and 3) shocking pain. The videos are from Italy, with subtitles in English. Viewing all 5 in the series is time well spent for the serious self defender.
When knockout targets are understood, and as one consistently trains in techniques and principles of Israeli Krav Maga, its practicality and effectiveness become obvious. One's size, strength, and gender don't matter. Krav Maga is not a martial art, nor is it a sport. It is a self defense fighting discipline for use in the real world, where attackers abide by no rules.
Learn. Train. Stay safe out there.
