As an instructor I am always looking for simple self defense techniques for children and adults. Any new variations or suggestions would be appreciated. |

You want simple? How about punching and kicking...nothing fancy or flashy, just basic techniques?
Simple is good...I'm a simple man. |

Teach elbow strikes and knee strikes. _________________ "What we do in life, echoes in eternity."

I always like the "Hey what's that over there?" then running technique
OK, in all seriousness we teach a lot of kids and a few times a year we have someone come in and teach the kids about avoiding dangerous situations and what to do if a stranger approaches you in a store, etc.
I know we teach them valuable skills but I want the kids to learn how to avoid needing the skills we teach.
Check with your local police, I think just about all of them are always grateful for the chance to help out kids. _________________ TKD WTF/ITF 2nd Dan

Yeah I agree the simpler the better. Fast and effective is what I always say. I hate seeing self defense techniques that are so drawn out. First you do this and then this then this then this then this then this.... you get my idea. Quick and to the point. |

We teach and use all of our techniques(including knees,elbows, and fingertip strikes) in simulated self defense situations. As instructors we should be able to share some of the techniques that we like to teach. We all have slightly different ways of teaching techniques, sometimes you may teach it in a way that might help someone learn it more easily.
Thanks for the input. |
