 |
|
Hi guys,
Just wondering: If I wanted to learn just one or two upper body moves to finish off an opponent fast and get out, what would you recommend? I just need a couple of simple finishing moves, nothing special. I was thinking something in the Kung Fu area but I’ll take whatever you think is good for me. I’vehave cerebral palsy so not much flexibility at all in the lower body. |

Locks, locks and more locks.
What sort of upper body moves do you want?
Do you mean Arms?
Neck?
Or Strikes?
Take Care |

Yes, moves with the arms and strikes that can lay an opponent out.
Thanks. |

Good punch to the neck would probably do it... chances are it could do more damage than you intend to.

IF you looking for strikes looking into elbows and palms.
As far as an art look into something like Hapkido. Lost of joint and wrist locks.

Thank you. So Hapkido is locks? I've heard of it, but never knew just which Art it was.

Hapkido is based on Joint Locks, Manipulations, and takedowns...with specialty in using your opponents momentun agains them...
Self-Defense is when you find a way to avoid danger...Self-Perservance is when you find a way to stay alive.

| Geoff Thompson has several books and videos and is a big proopnent of the "first hit knockdown". You may want to look up som of his material on it; he certainly has the first hand experience to speak intelligably. |

I wouldn't think joint locks would be something good to learn for self defense quickly, they take a lot of practice to be able to perform on a resisting opponent.
I would say elbows, headbuts, knees, bites, jab, cross, front kick, thigh kick, side kick, roundhouse, back kick
