Third, lets be honest, if youre in a life or death situation, you could probably use some help. Screaming attracts attention, which increases your chances that someone will try to help you out. Your goal here is survival.

Scream for your life

The 6 Deadly Disciplines of the World

If youre not Jason Bourne or James Bond, your best bet is to get some training. Karate is great training for killer action movies, but if you want killer real life moves, there are six disciplines that will make sure anyone who attacks you goes down and stays down. Sambo - Russia Any country that could produce someone Scream. Use the full power of your lungs and dont stop until theyre harmless or dead. For one thing, it will scare and intimidate them. If theres one thing weve learned from movies, its that only crazy people attack while screaming. Make them regret coming after you by making them worry theyve picked the wrong crazy person to fight. For another thing, the act of screaming gives as manly as Vladimir Putin (second only to Teddy Roosevelt for Manliest World Leader) is bound to produce a fighting discipline of unrivaled physical prowess. Sambo is a Russian acronym for a phrase that literally translates to self defense without weapons. They blended the kind of folk wrestling performed by people who have beauty pageants for goats with

some Japanese Judo and Russian Red Army hand-to-hand combat. The end result is a no-holds barred discipline designed to take your enemy down and keep them from ever getting up again. It lacks any of the elegance of normal martial arts. Most Sambo videos you find look like a bare-knuckle, back alley boxing match was interrupted by a wrestling coach. Sambo teaches you how to avoid injury while getting the other person on the ground and immobi- lizing them fast. Attacking a Sambo practi- tioner with a knife is a good way to get your own throat cut. Not that theyd need to. With practice, its frighteningly easy for someone skilled at Sambo to take you down and hu- miliatingly tap all the dangerous weak parts of your body as a reminder that they could kill you at their leisure. Much like karate and other martial arts, Sambo has a hierarchy of levels ranging from Novice (also known as the people thrown around like rag dolls during demonstrations) to Distinguished Grand Master (the deceptively bored looking elderly men sporting giant mustaches and pot bellies who can take a knife away from a 20 year old, press the flat of the blade against his throat, and drop some cigarette ash in his eye all in under 10 seconds.) If youre looking for a deadly discipline, Sambo is a good choice for people with bad Survival Life Special Report 4

backs and strong legs. You dont need to be gracefully limber, but you do need to be comfortable wrapping your legs around an attackers torso while you take them down.

Muay Thai - Thailand If you think you only have four limbs, you havent paid attention to those hinges halfway down your arms and legs. Muay Thai, also known as The Art of Eight Limbs, treats knees and elbows with as much respect as it does hands and feet. Thats one heck of an advantage against an untrained opponent. Someone coming at you with a knife isnt expecting you to knee them in the jaw, grab their shoulders for balance, then kick them in the gut while you happen to have your leg up there anyway. Its brutal. Muay Thai began as a way for soldiers to defend themselves if they lost their swords. It quickly developed a reputation for being worse than a stabbing.

How To Kill a Man With Your Bare Hands

One of the drawbacks to Muay Thai is the person on the offensive will end up pretty darn bloody. All those brutal blows take their toll on fragile hands and knees. On the other hand, legend has it, a sufficiently advanced practitioner can use it to take down a buffalo. Muay Thai isnt subtle or graceful. Its all about giving an attacker such a brutal beating they never get up again. Imagine all the rules of boxing designed to protect the athletes. Muay Thai considers them an instruction manual for success. You can specialize in learning advanced techniques for attacking people with your elbows, knees, feet and fists. Since most people who participate in Mixed Martial Arts dont end up hospitalized, that sport is sometimes trotted out as an example of watered down Muay Thai. If you dont have any joint troubles, arent bothered by the sight of blood, and have some anger issues, Muay Thai is an excellent discipline for protecting yourself and your loved ones. MCMAP - U.S.A. The United States Marines jokingly call this Semper Fu. Up until the 1980s, Marines practiced the LINE system (Linear Infighting Neural Override Engagement). The problem was LINE was that it was too darn deadly. By the 1990s, the Marines were being sent

into increasingly dangerous places where they were expected to pacify people without putting them six feet under. If youd rather kill your attacker than risk them getting up again, find some Marine vets willing to teach you LINE.

The newer Marine Corps Martial Arts Program is a kinder, gentler version of LINE which trains the Marines to do anything from cause severe pain to functionally destroy whatever body part they attack. The Marines are trained to not only use their bodies, but also to find objects in their environment (rocks, bricks, and sticks) as well as knives and all the parts of a gun that dont go bang. This is a good discipline for people who might end up in a situation where their attackers are confused. If your attacker might be under the influence of drugs, mental disability, or frightening trauma, MCMAP is a good way to quickly stop an 5 How To Kill a Man With Your Bare Hands

attack without necessarily killing them. Because MCMAP has a huge focus on teamwork, if youre attacked by a larger, better armed group, MCMAP teaches you how to take down the most dangerous people first while still leaving you in good enough shape to handle whoever comes at you next. Silat - Malaysia Honor and fairness are for people who arent busy fighting for their lives. Silat is Malaysias ongoing response to countless waves of invaders. Unlike karate or tae kwon do, theres no pretense at it having a spiritual side. The Malaysians paid close attention to every wave of invaders, adopting the most useful parts of all their fighting techniques until they ended up with Silat.

busy fighting for their lives. Silat is Malaysias ongoing response to countless waves of invaders. Unlike karate or Tae Kwon Do, theres no pretense at it having a spiritual side. The Malaysians paid close attention to every wave of invaders, adopting the most useful parts of all their fighting techniques until they ended up with Silat. Both Malaysian and Indonesian soldiers were taught Silat for centuries. If someone attacks you, the goal is to close the distance fast, keep them off their guard, and take them down before they can muster a defense. When theyre down, then you brutally kick them in the face, throat or ribs so they dont get back up again. There isnt as much kicking or joint work as Muay Thai. The key to success with Silat isnt beating your opponent until they fall over. Instead, its getting them down quickly, then delivering a killing blow before they can call

for help. Theres no shame in attacking from behind or stabbing someone in the back. Since it was a functional part of war for centuries, training also included pain tolerance techniques. Unlike Sambo or Muay Thai, Silat training includes use of a dagger. Considering how much Sambo practitioners pride them- selves on their ability to disarm an attacker, it would be very interesting to see a fight between people trained in Sambo and Silat. Silat is best for younger people with good reflexes, well-oiled joints, and few pre-existing aches or pains. Eskrima - Philippines Eskrima is a deceptive martial art. It can look like harmless dancing or some lightning-fast play with a couple of sticks right up until the point when someone takes you out. Eskrima had to be carefully disguised as a harmless folk art because the Catholic Church banned it for 450 years. Magellan (of globe mapping fame) converted an entire Philippine tribe to Catholicism. The neighbors took the change personally. They hamstrung him, then used Eskrima to beat him so savagely even the people behind the Spanish Inquisition were horrified. The Filipinos quickly learned to disguise Eskrima as a folk dance whenever Spaniards were around. One of the really useful things about Eskrima

is the way it teaches people to use the same motions bare handed, with sticks, or with blades and always come out resulting in deadly force. People know Eskrima for the distinctive, short sticks, but knocking them away doesnt disarm a practitioner it just frees their hands for new levels of brutal violence. Theres a fast -paced Hong Kong movie feel to Eskrima that makes it appealing to people who want a dramatic fighting style. However, when two people who know it go up against one another, they typically both come away seriously bloodied. You can do incredible damage with hands, sticks or knives, but the result is that youre going to take a beating, too. Krav Maga - Israel Krav Maga is what happens when action movies meet real life. It starts with the assumption that you, an unarmed innocent, will be attacked by a group of people armed with guns, knives, and some extra weapons hidden away that you cant see. It ends with you disarming them, disabling them, and running the heck away before they can call for help. It was developed in the 1930s to help Jews survive and flee from Nazi attacks. After the creation of Israel, it was adopted by the Israeli Defense Forces. Because of its focus

on real world situations, its popular with quite a few other national defense forces around the world. Unlike Sambo, with its emphasis on wrestling your opponent to the ground, Krav Maga stresses keeping off the ground at all costs. Once youre down, youre vulnerable to being kicked to death by a crowd of attackers. Therefore, the goal is to use low kicks to vulnerable areas like feet and shins, a variety of punches, and a huge emphasis on flowing naturally between offense and defense as you disarm your attackers. One of the things that really sets Krav Maga apart is the encouragement to disable your attackers enough to run away. Sure, you should be able to take on half a dozen knifewielding attackers, but theres no illusion you can outlast them all. Disarm them, get to safety, and regroup with allies. Then you take them down, permanently. Krav Maga also always assumes that youre unarmed and your attackers have multiple weapons. This means you dont need to carry a weapon- other people do it for you. Once youve disarmed someone, theres training on how to use their gun or knife against them. The huge emphasis on surviving real, modern attacks makes Krav Maga the most versatile and useful of the Six Deadly Disciplines. There are few situations in which a well-trained practitioner couldnt survive. Survival Life Special Report 8

The 8 Natural Weapons Telling you to take a Krav Maga or Sambo class this fall is useless if youre attacked tomorrow. Luckily, your body already comes equipped with some surprisingly useful self defense tools in the form of your hands, feet, knees and teeth. If you know how to use them properly, you can do some serious harm to an untrained attacker.

Knife Edge of Your Hand If youre in close quarters and have some leverage, use the road, outer edge of your hand in a fast, hard blow against the temple. Lets be honest, youll probably have to do this a few times. The goal is to crush the artery and nerves close the surface. If you use an open hand or close your fist in a punch, youll create a wide surface area, diffusing your impact. You want a narrow, focused, sharp blow. If you hit the right spot, you can either give your attacker a debilitat- ing concussion or, if youre spot on, kill them outright. An untrained person How To Kill a Man With Your Bare Hands

will have some difficulty finding the right spot, though, so assume youre going for the concussion and just might get lucky. Fingers Folded at Second Joint/ Knuckle Ribs are a lot more fragile than people think. Punch so your fingers are folded at the second knuckle and you have good odds of achieving the kind of sharp force necessary to break a rib. A wider blow will only bruise them. Fair warning while this will hurt them more than you, youre still going to come away with a sore, bruised hand. The Protruding Knuckle of Your Second Finger Find the solar plexus where the ribcage ends and the fleshy part of the stomach begins. Use the power of your entire torso to punch there with your hand bracing the protruding knuckle of your second finger. The bundle of nerves located there is buried deep, but are still vulnerable. A solid blow there will leave your attacker doubled over in severe pain, possibly leading to unconsciousness. The Heel of Your Hand Youve seen it in movies. The action hero braces his arm and shoves the flat part of his palm along someones face, hitting the nose from the bottom up and driving the cartiliage into the brain, killing them instantly. Believe it or not, this can happen in

real life. Realisti- cally, an untrained person is more likely to break someones nose than they are to drive it into the brain. However, think about your own nose. Its full of nerve endings. Dont consider it a failure if you merely leave them bloodied and in a world of pain. Theyve stopped attacking you. Now you can take a breath and think about your next move.

Your Boot What cant you do with a boot? Remember, in Krav Maga, one of the greatest goals is to avoid going down to the ground. Once youre down, its easy to kick you to death. If youre in durable boots, kick the front of their shin in an attempt to break it. Step on the middle of their foot to damage the arch. Do whatever it takes to get them on the ground. Once theyre down, a stomp to the nerve-filled mouth will set off fireworks of pain. A swift kick to the temple the same place you were attacking earlier with the

knife edge of your hand has a good chance of concussing or killing someone. If your attacker is male, never forget the power of a good solid kick in the groin. It wont kill them, but itll keep them down while you work on your next move. Your Elbows The elbow is a hard, angled blunt instrument. You can use it against someones face the same way you did the flat of your palm. Slamming it into someones throat is also incredibly effective. The drawback is necks are small and arms are big. If you miss, youre giving them your entire arm as leverage to use against you. Its best used when either your attackers face or a soft, fleshy place is exposed. Dont be shy about scuttling backwards after your attack to make sure it was effective. If so, you can

take a breath and plan your next move. If not, you just prevented them from grabbing your arm. Your Knees Knees can do incredible damage. Knees are well known for their effectiveness to the groin. If you can grab your attackers head, bringing it down hard on your knee has all kinds of dangerous repercussions. Depending on the speed and angle, they might do anything from bite through their tongue to get a concussion. If youre behind your opponent, using your knee to push them to the ground or pin them to the ground gives you an instant advantage. Get them down, and you are in control. Your Teeth From an early age, were taught not to bite. People dont expect it. If youre in a life or death situation where your face is anywhere close to the other person, though, open your mouth and chomp down. You can do serious damage biting someones nose or ear. In addition to the shock value, there are ample nerves there, plus your attacker will face a sudden fear that theyre disfigured. If youre down and being kicked, try to grab the persons foot and bite hard into the back of the ankle. At the very least, youll cause severe pain. At the most, youll sever a nerve

running along the back of the leg and down into the ankle, leaving them unable to walk.

youre a swimmer doing the breast stroke. While your arms are out, use each hand to grab a bicep. Brace your head against your attackers chest and use the leverage youve created to pull their arms down around their back. This also puts you close enough to wrap a leg around their nearest leg, immobilizing them. Youre now in control of one or both of their arms and one of their legs. They cant kick or punch you. Its a good time to call for help.

The Top 10 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Moves

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been used by cops since the 1980s. With a little training, someone who isnt in great shape can still hold off an average attacker long enough for help to arrive. If youre in a life or death situation and havent had time to take Krav Maga, this is a good alternative. Like they teach in Krav Maga, the goal here is to always get your opponent to the ground. Once youre down, youre done. If youre under attack, getting your opponent down to the ground gives you time to either call for help or formulate your next move from a position of strength. The Clinch The goal here is to get in so close they cant get any leverage for a punch. Once youve deprived them of that basic street attack, you take them down. Do this by moving in fast with your arms raised up around your head, fists out. You create a confusing target and protect your face from attack. When you close in, sweep your arms out like

The Rear Takedown Once you have someone in The Cinch, you can sweep their immobilized leg, taking them to the ground. The Mount When your opponent is safely on the ground, simply sit on their chest and hold their arms down. Gravity and leverage work in your favor. From this position, you can typically hold down someone noticeably

heavier. Be patient while they thrash. The more they kick around, the more they exhaust them- selves, making them easier to control. The Back Mount The Back Mount is exactly the same as the mount, except your attacker is face down on their stomach. If you can get them down in this position, youll have a real advantage. Its nearly impossible to get up when someone is sitting on your back like theyre a human turtle shell. The Closed Guard If an attacker knocks you to the ground, do

your best to pull them down with you. If theyre on top of you, punching or attacking, keep your head bowed to your chest in order to protect your face. Use your arms not to deflect blows, but to distract, luring their attention upwards. While you have them distracted, wrap your legs around their torso and pull them down. From here, reach up and grab the back of their head, pushing hard. You can trap them in an awkward position where its impossible to sit up or move their head. Its hard to hold this for long, though, so start calling for help. The Kimura If youre in the Closed Guard and need more leverage, unhook your legs, sit halfway up,

Survival Life Special Report

12

How To Kill a Man With Your Bare Hands

and reach between your attackers arm and ribs to grab their wrist. Pull hard. This should put their head in your elbow and their arm under your leg. You can hold them that way for a long duration more easily than with the Closed Guard. The Open Guard If youre a lot smaller or weaker than your attacker, you may need to switch to the Open Guard. Brace your shoulders and head against the ground. Bring your hands up to your chest to protect your face. You have your legs around their waist. Now scoot your butt back and try to move further up their chest. The goal here is to keep them pinned while you wait for help but also keep their fists far away from your face and neck. The Cross Side If you have your attacker on the ground, face up, try pinning at least one arm under their back while you lay across their chest. Youre using simple weight to keep them under control, but sometimes thats all it takes. The Knee Mount If your attacker is on the ground, face up, you can put your knee in their chest and lean

in hard. Remember to scoot down far enough that youre not putting pressure on the ribs or sternum. The goal here is immobilization, not a broken ribcage. Its surprisingly easy to do.

The Rear Carotid Restraint This is a classic television restraint. Wrap your arm around your attackers neck, immobilizing their head. Meanwhile, pull your arm tight around their neck. It helps to reach up as high as you can and grab a fistful of your own shirt as an anchor. Put your free hand behind their head and push it forward. At this point, they can barely breathe. Theyre not going anywhere.

You can actually kill yourself by sneezing too hard and pinching here. Imagine what you can do with a well-placed kick or a hard, fast elbow slam. Hook to the Jaw If youre strong enough, a powerful blow to the front of the jaw can snap a persons neck, killing them instantly. Theres a reason that in boxing, this punch is sometimes called The Widowmaker. Adams Apple

Temple You have two one on each side of your head. Its a little bundle of nerves and major blood vessels. With the right blow especially with a boot you can kill someone instantly. Nasion This is the classic cartilage blow to the brain. If youre in a life or death situation, try to avoid crushing the naison with a brick or baseball bat. It will leave a nasty scar, but itll heal. You want to drive it up into the brain for Instant, lethal damage. Use the flat of your palm or the base of a baseball bat. Philtrum This thin flap of skin between the top of your upper lip and the bottom of your nose is full of all kinds of dangerous nerve endings. Survival Life Special Report 14

A sharp, hard blow to the Adams Apple can crush the windpipe, making it impossible for your attacker to breathe. Small of the Back A solid kick or power drive with the elbow can cause instant spinal damage, often leading to death. Cerebellum Base At the other end of the spine, a hard, fast blow just below the skull can knock it off the spine, causing instant damage and possibly death. Testicles While rare, a powerful enough blow to the testicles can cause so much pain the person goes into shock and dies. Worst case, you have them down on the ground, where you can do a world of other damage. How To Kill a Man With Your Bare Hands

Coccyx If you kick the tailbone inwards and upwards hard enough to break it, the shock to the spine and nerves can be fatal. Full Nelson If you can get behind your attacker, put your arms underneath theirs, like youre coming in for a cuddly hug. Then shove their arms upwards, like theyre about to put their hands on top of their heads. This gives you the leverage to push their head forward and snap their neck. Half Nelson This is the same as a full nelson, except one of your arms is preoccupied by restraining one of your attackers arms. Brain Buster If youre fighting outdoors on concrete or gravel, pull your attacker towards you. Now grab their belt or the loops of their jeans. Use your leverage to haul them into the air. Fall backwards onto your back. This should result in them literally going heels up and slamming their head into the concrete. Gravity and the combined weight of both your bodies should crumple their neck. Russian Omelet If your enemy is on the ground, cross their Survival Life Special Report 15

legs. Fold them in half by pinning their shoulders to the ground and then pinning their legs to their shoulders. Then sit on their legs, bouncing hard on the base of the spine. This should break their back, killing them. Heart Punch If youre incredibly strong, a single hard blow to the chest can crumple a persons heart. This doesnt work often, but its dramatic when it does. Uppercut This is a good underdog punch. Come at them from below, swinging hard and causing their neck to snap upwards. With enough force, this single blow can prove fatal. Abdomen Pummel someone in their gut hard enough, and eventually youll damage some organs to the point of failure. Rib Cage Remember all the advice from earlier on not damaging someones ribcage? Reverse it. Damaging the ribs can not only cause pain, but also potentially puncture a lung or other organ, leading to fatal complications. Head-to-Wall Punch If youve backed your attacker up near (but not directly against) a hard wall, a sufficiently violent punch can bounce their How To Kill a Man With Your Bare Hands

head off the wall, shattering part of their skull. You need to be both pretty strong and pretty angry to pull this off, but at the very least, youll give them a very dangerous concussion. Pinned Drop Kick This is one of those dramatic movie poses which actually works. Its hard to get into, but surprisingly effective. From behind, grab the persons arms and pull them straight back. Kick the base of their spine as hard as you can. This has the potential to severe the spine, killing them. Head Wrench This is another movie action which can work when done right. Its not as easy as Hollywood makes it look, but you can grab someone by both sides of the head and turn fast and sharp, snapping their spine and killing them instantly. Choke Hold Wrap your right arm over their right shoulder. Wrap your left arm over their left shoulder then reach across their neck and grab your right arm. If you apply enough Survival Life Special Report 16

pressure, you can break the windpipe and crush their neck. Head Yank Bend your attacker forward, grab their head, and quickly pull it backwards as hard as you can. This can snap the spine. Ears In rare cases, simultaneously clapping both hands hard over a persons ears can rupture their eardrums and lead to death. Most of the time, it will merely disorient them. Kidneys Large nerves branch off of the kidneys. If you pummel someone hard enough to damage these, you can kill them. Eyes The classic Three Stooges maneuver works. Point your fingers in a V and poke into a persons eyes. You might drive them away, you might blind them, and if you do it with enough force, you might hit the optic nerve and kill them from shock.
