Today's excerpt begins on page 37.
It is the assumption throughout this manual that you will be employing your fighting skill against a MAN.
This is a sensible assumption, too.
Serious unarmed combat with another woman is very unlikely; and RAPE, the most feared type of assault, is never committed by a woman against another woman.
A male adversary is the most formidable, and that means, simply, THAT IF YOU CAN FIGHT A MAN AND WIN, YOU CAN FIGHT A WOMAN AND WIN, TOO.
The only difference in fighting a woman, as far as you’re concerned, is the fact that she doesn’t have testicles — and the testicles are a critical ‘hit’ point in unarmed encounters.
But otherwise, combat is combat, and you can gouge a woman’s eyes, or smash her kneecap into splinters just as readily as you can do so to a man.
So, we assume a MALE ADVERSARY in our study, and we leave it at that.
Your premise must ALWAYS be that the opponent is STRONGER THAN YOU ARE, whether man or woman, and that he is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, no matter how he confronts you.
You are going to compensate for your lack of physical power by acquiring a BRUTALLY VICIOUS ATTITUDE of wild, animalistic fury that knows no quarter for any foe.
You will be brutal, fast, furious and deadly.
Your strategy will consist of the TECHNICALLY CORRECT employment of your body’s natural weapons in scientific and proven unarmed combat maneuvers.
And you will WIN.
Vulnerable target areas, or ‘‘vital spots’’ as they are often called, are UNIVERSAL strike points.
That is, no matter how huge or physically strong a man may be, he has certain anatomically weak areas.
They are as weak in a world champion Olympic weight-lifter as they are in a fourteen year old school boy.
If you GET THESE TARGETS YOUR OPPONENT IS YOURS!
In serious unarmed combat there are a strictly LIMITED NUMBER of vulnerable target areas that can be regarded as SURE.
They are, first and foremost:
THE EYES
THE THROAT
THE TESTICLES
'Secondary’ vital spots include:
The bridge of the nose
The philtrum
The sides of the neck
The shins and insteps
The spine and kidneys
The ears
The nape of the neck
The temples
That’s it.
Anything not included in the above list CANNOT BE RELIED UPON when dealing with a determined, serious adversary.
And of all the target points given, the only ‘sure kills’ are the EYES, THROAT and TESTICLES.
Attack them first, and employ every ounce of your natural strength.
Why such a limited range of targets?
Because when a human being is aroused by hate anger rage lust or ANY OTHER COMPELLING EMOTIONAL DRIVE, he has three times his normal power and six times his normal bodily resistance to injury shock pain.
This factor of course works to YOUR advantage, too, since you will always have the natural power you need when you fight for your life.
Nature grants you this by ‘souping you up’ with umpteen times the adrenaline you normally bring into play in your system, and by charging your entire nervous system with RAW DESPERATION.
And because the opponent has a human body, he will not succumb to less than a really fatal crippling.
Many men will continue to press an assault or rape attempt when a finger or wrist has been broken, or when they’ve been smacked hard across the face.
But NO MAN can press anything when his testicles have been wrenched and crushed, or when his eyes have been gouged out of his head, or when his windpipe has been crushed.
The absolute gripping agony that envelopes the totality of any man the moment his EYES, THROAT OR TESTICLES have been destroyed, insures that THIS IS THE SURE WAY TO STOP ANY ATTACKER OR OPPONENT.
GO FOR THE CRITICAL TARGETS!
When once a blow is struck to a vital spot it only remains for you to follow up and finish the job.
PRESS THE ADVANTAGE, and you will win the fight.
Let us begin with the CRITICAL HIT POINTS — eyes, throat and testicles — and examine precisely how you may effectively assail these targets with the natural weapons you learned to use in the last Chapter.
After we have gone over the most important targets, and the proper attack methods to employ against them, we will examine the secondary targets, and see how these may be exploited to full effect in unarmed combat.
THE EYES: The eyes and the testicles are the two MOST vulnerable areas on a man’s body.
So spend considerable time learning to attack these areas.
The eyes may be best attacked by the FINGERS or the THUMBS.
The fingers should be stiffly extended and thrust HARD right through the eyeballs.
DO NOT attempt to thrust the eyes by using a two-finger attack.
Rather, extend all four fingers and part them slightly, so that you’ve got four sharp points thrusting through the opponent’s head.
The arm should be straightened fully at the completion of the thrust, and the fingers must fully pierce the eyes — never poke ‘on’ the surface of the eye.
The straight-in finger thrust may be used when an attacker seizes your collar, blouse or arm.
As long as ONE ARM is free and as long as your opponent is close in front of you and you ACT FAST and YELL, the finger thrust will be effective.
Twist your entire body into the thrust.
Develop the habit of AUTOMATICALLY SEEKING OUT EYES THROAT TESTICLES on contact with an opponent.
Much the same as an experienced Doberman attack dog intuitively ‘goes for the throat’.
Regardless of how you are attacked, ATTACK THE OPPONENT INSTANTLY.
On contact!
This automatic, simple and ruthlessly vicious reflex — WHEN ONCE DEVELOPED — capitalizes on a woman’s natural advantage in having the element of surprise in her favor.
Remember: before your adversary’s psychology has been adjusted to the fact that YOU ARE ATTACKING HIM, you will have ‘struck home’ at one or two of his critical target areas, and victory to you will be only seconds away.
It is also helpful, if possible, to seize some part of the attacker’s body with your other hand when you thrust to the eyes.
Extraordinarily effective at close quarters is the DOUBLE THUMB GOUGE ta the eyes.
It is executed by driving the thumbs DEEPLY into the inside corners of each eye, and ripping im and outward to the sides of the head.
The photos clearly illustrate exactly how this attack may be launched.
Needless to say, either thumb may be used at any time to gouge a single eye.
It is often advantageous to utilize a man’s instinctive desire to guard his eyes as a trump in your favor.
Thus, sand, dirt, gravel, etc. may be flung into the face of an approaching attacker.
This will cause momentary hesitation on his part, at the very least, and it could conceivably mean an opportunity of FIVE FULL SECONDS during which time you can easily escape or kill your assailant at your leisure.
ANY OBJECT THAT YOU CAN HOLD AND CARRY IN ONE HAND MAY BE HURLED INTO AN OPPONENT’S FACE.
Spitting into a man’s face and eyes is often a very effective trick.
Remember, also, that an attack to the eyes — even if not immediately crippling — will enable you to launch a very strong followup attack on another vital spot.
See original for more pics.
THE THROAT: Attack-trained Marine Corps Doberman Pincers favor the throat as a target when they attack.
They are the most dangerous attack dogs in the world.
Most wild beasts know — instinctively — to GO FOR THE THROAT.
The reason should be obvious:
THERE IS A TERROR THAT SEIZES ANY LIVING CREATURE WHEN THE AIR SUPPLY IS SUDDENLY STOPPED AND WHEN BREATHING BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE.
No man — regardless of the power, ferocity or skillfulness of his attack — will press the assault if his windpipe is suddenly crushed!
And any woman using a sharp edge-of-the-hand blow, can easily crush the biggest man’s windpipe.
Using the pincer-grip described in the previous Chapter, it should take you roughly six seconds to strangle a man to death.
And, by a vicious stiffened finger thrust into the throat, you can knock out the most determined assailant.
The trick is always to RENDER YOUR STRONGEST WEAPON AGAINST THE WEAKEST AVAILABLE TARGET ON THE ENEMY.
Strength is never ‘irrelevant’.
But sheer brute power (which most men tend to rely upon) can NEVER suffice against TRAINED, RUTHLESSLY APPLIED, average strength.
Choke holds and strangles such as the Japanese judo choke and the assorted military sentry takedowns are NOT to be employed by women in personal combat.
Often, the neck muscles of a man are so highly developed that they can resist choke attacks long enough to enable a back-kick defense to be launched.
The simple edge-of-the-hand blow, and the pincer throat choke (which AVOIDS the neck muscles) are much, much more practical.
A conditioned Marine can take a man down with a stranglehold.
A housewife shouldn’t try to do so.
The antidote for a woman’s natural reaction of PANIC in an encounter is to FORCIBLY FIGHT DOWN THE FEAR AND ATTACK.
Even if a clear grasp at or strike at a vital spot is not possible, the mere attempt to launch such an attack — and to FOLLOW THROUGH LIKE A CRAZED ANIMAL — will begin to drive fear out of you, and replace it with COURAGE.
As a last point about attacking the throat: remember that any rolled magazine, book edge or stiff object can be jammed into the throat of an attacker who approaches to grab from the front.
THE TESTICLES: In combat, to survive, one MUST become an animal.
The man who attacks a woman is asking for an animalistic response.
Americans, characteristically, are ‘nice guys’ (and gals).
But being nice won’t fend off a killer or destroy a lust-crazed rapist.
The conventional ‘nice girl’s’ smack-across-the-face could discourage an overly zealous suitor — but only the most brutal gutter tactics will work against a psycho who means business.
By delivering a snapping front kick up and into a man’s crotch, you will render him completely unable to continue any assault on you.
Seizing and squeezing and or twisting and kicking into a man’s testicles will provide you with the surest defense.
The testicles are the finest of targets to assail, because, like the throat, when a strong attack ‘connects,’ it’s all over for the opponent.
No man is so helplessly at the mercy of his adversary as the man who has just received a powerful kick or strike in the testicles!
Perhaps the finest groin attack is the simple knee-to-the-groin.
It is described in the previous Chapter.
The illustrations in this book explain how the knee blow can be used in various ways against an opponent.
The problem encountered by most women learning close combat is
a RELUCTANCE TO GO ‘ALL OUT’ with a serious, brutal attack, and a foolish concept of themselves as ‘ladies who mustn’t behave in an unladylike way'.
NONSENSE!
War is war — for soldiers and civilians and men and women alike.
And when personal combats are fought, they are fought to be WON, not lost.
Save your manners and ladylike behavior for people you like.
Rape is as disgustingly ‘ungentlemanly’ (to say the least!) as anything can be.
So is mugging.
So is ANY FORM OF ACTUAL PHYSICAL AGGRESSION COMMITTED FOR ANY REASON, OTHER THAN LEGITIMATE SELF-DEFENSE.
The only rule in unarmed combat is TO WIN.
You are in a different world, a separate arena, a whole different context when you’re facing someone in eyeball to eyeball physical combat.
To take a ruthless attitude is a practical necessity of SURVIVAL.
To take less than a ruthless attitude will be a service to your ENEMY.
Remember: GOUGE, JAB AND RIP AT HIS EYES; KICK, SQUEEZE, SEIZE, KNEE HIS TESTICLES; AND JAB AT, CRUSH, TEAR OUT AND CHOKE HIS THROAT.
No matter who the hell he is, you’ ll stop him...
DEAD!
You have, simply, one of two sensible choices in a serious encounter:
Knockout, maim or kill the opposition outright, or,
Escape.
That’s it.
Women who are taught arrest and ‘come-along’ tactics are being taught to commit suicide.
Women who are taught ‘to defend themselves without injuring the attacker’ are being taught to engage in PHYSICALLY RISKY techniques.
Only an incompetent would urge skills like these on women students.
Aside from your KEY targets (eyes, throat, testicles) there are other secondary targets worth learning.
There is certainly no guarantee that a man will be stopped cold by an attack to any of the secondary targets, but there IS a certainty that a forceful attack on these points will HURT HIM BADLY.
And a man who has been hurt can be hurt MORE, and he is more susceptible to being really crippled or killed.
So, when a general melee ensues, GET YOUR OPPONENT WHERE YOU CAN — BUT GET HIM!
And press, press, PRESS THE ATTACK!
While a man is kept in pain, he will not be as formidable an opponent.
BRIDGE OF NOSE: The vital point here is NOT the tip or middle bridge of the nose.
From the outer point of the nose to the center is CARTILEGE.
Hit it hard and the best you can hope for is a bloody nose.
But bash in the TOP BRIDGE (where an eyeglass bridge covers the nose) and you crush thin bone, cause copious bleeding, and run the chance of inflicting cerebral hemorrhaging on the opponent.
The profuse tearing of the eyes, and the terrible pain that a good nosebridge bash produces, insures that the recipient of such a blow will be HELPLESS to prevent further attack.
PHILTRUM: The point under the base of the nose and above the upper lip is a very good one to hit.
It has a very strong stunning effect "and the target was made for the heel of the hand blow.
The edge of your hand can also do a nice job when snapped strongly into the philtrum.
Hit in and up.
SIDES OF THE NECK: If you are capable of delivering a strong edge-of-the-hand blow, then you can deliver a good knock-out blow by striking the side of your adversary’s neck with your hand edge.
The carotid artery is located here, and a strong shock to the target will stun a man very adequately.
A bottom-fist type of smash could also be used in this area with good effect.
The main, best and really the ONLY sure and eee way to attack the sides of the neck is by SINKING YOUR TEETH IN, AND RIPPING OUT A SIZABLE HUNK OF YOUR OPPONENT’S NECK.
Not pleasant.
But effective.
Very, very effective.
THE KNEES: Sixty-five pounds of pressure brought suddenly to bear on a man’s straightened leg — AT THE POINT OF HIS KNEE — will crack the knee and send him down.
A child weighing seventy five pounds can easily generate sufficient power to break a 250 pound man’s knee.
The knees are a great target because of THE CERTAINTY OF THEIR WEAKNESS.
The knees cannot be 'developed’ like muscles can be.
They break as easily on a professional wrestler as they do on a high school child.
You would break the knee of a standing opponent by turning to the side and lashing right through the target with a violent thrusting kick.
The side, bottom or heel of your foot is what should ‘connect’ when you kick the knee.
The SIDES OF THE KNEES make dandy targets as well, and a good hard kick here is sure to rip ligaments and tendons.
Remember: It is easy to escape from a man once you’ve broken his leg and he cannot follow you.
SHIN BONES AND INSTEPS: Soldiers can do real damage by crushing the shin bone or the instep with a violent kick.
That’s because they wear combat boots and there is nothing wrong with their physical condition.
The average woman, on the other hand, stands NO CHANCE whatever of doing anything but MOMENTARILY shocking a man if she kicks his shin or instep.
The shin kick and instep stomp _are so effective, however, in practical circumstances, that every woman MUST learn these skills.
With a sharp, sudden pain hitting a man in the LOWER EXTREMITIES, he will be momentarily taken off-guard as far as protecting his UPPER BODY TARGETS! .
THE SPINE AND KIDNEYS: Good targets (see photos) but unlikely to be fatal.
You’d have to wallop a man with real knockdown force to damage a kidney or injure a vertebra.
The spine is a beautiful target for a machete.
I mention this in case you’ve ever wondered how to use a machete against a man!
The spine is also susceptible to stomping heel kicks when a man is face down.
THE EARS: The cupped hands are always effective when crashed over the opponent’s ears.
From front or back, such a blow ruptures the eardrums.
Hard, smashing blows to the ears may cause brain concussion, cerebral hemorrhage, momentary disconcertion and dizziness or complete loss of equilibrium.
Unconsciousness is a strong possible result from a good cupped-hands clout over the ears.
But it’s got to be HARD!
NAPE OF NECK: The edge-of-the-hand blow — once developed by practice — is effective here.
It will momentarily shock and disconcert an opponent.
Karate experts can kill with a good, healthy smash across the nape of the neck — but there is a big difference between hitting with heavily conditioned fourth-degree black belt hands and dishwater hands.
The bottom fist can be used to hit this spot, also.
TEMPLES: A very hard blow to the temple will kill.
But an ordinary hand blow to this area — even when delivered with a good degree of power — is more likely to momentarily daze the assailant.
The elbow makes a beautiful weapon for use against the temple.
The heel of the hand, bottom fist, and the edge-of-the-hand blow are all effective.
Of course, if a man is down, there are worse things you could do besides kicking his temple in with the toe of your shoe.
The threshold of pain varies enormously with everyone.
It cannot, for that reason, be overemphasized that smug self-assurance is asinine.
YOU WILL HAVE TO.APPLY EVERY SINGLE OUNCE OF YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL POWER WHEN YOU FIGHT AN OPPONENT.
And you will HAVE TO follow-up FAST as soon as you-go into action.
Besides varying thresholds of pain, there are great differences in the amount of raw punishment men can take, and continue to be formidable opponents.
A truly determined man must — literally — be battered down to the ground and beaten to death by hard, deadly kicks, chops and stomps.
One magic trick will never do the job.
Every woman student of the art of unarmed combat should bear in mind that people under stress HAVE UNCANNY RESISTIVE POWERS AND DETERMINATION.
This is why experienced police officers frequently go ‘overgunned’ and carry a powerful .45 or .357 sidearm.
A few go so far as to carry the ‘monster’ .44 magnum.
They know that the regulation .38 special — while excellent — is sometimes NOT ENOUGH against a crazed attacker.
This is also why sensible combat shooting instructors and self-defense instructors like myself urge that a handgun carried for protection MUST BE FIRED IN RAPID BURSTS OF TWO AND THREE SHOTS.
If you are justified in shooting, then you are justified in shooting to kill.
If you are justified in shooting to kill, then you are justified in EMPTYING OUT YOUR HANDGUN LOAD into the assailant.
It is your only sure means of saving your life — IF you’re lucky enough to have a handgun!
Your movements in unarmed combat must be FAST, STRONG and ACCURATE.
The practice of the techniques in this manual will result in your gradually acquiring fast, strong and accurate technique applications.
However, the furious determination to DESTROY THE ENEMY AND SAVE YOURSELF must come from your willingness to go ALL OUT in a hand-to-hand encounter, and to ‘psyche yourself up’ to WIN!
The strongest, most determined attacker has weak points.
He is human.
You can defeat him.
Remember that.
