Throat Strike Lesson 2

In this video I am demonstrating another throat or trachea strike to incapacitate an attacker. You would never use this strike unless you or your families lives are on the line. Move into your attacker using your body weight through your shin bone and into the attacker’s trachea. This will cause your attacker to clutch their throat (somatic reflex), panic and start to asphyxiate, which will open another target with the overall goal of eliminating the threat. You do not need to be an NFL kicker in order to crush the trachea. You want to kick hard enough to cause a somatic reflex, which will open up another target (if necessary). Even if you miss the trachea, you still should be making contact with the chin/mandible, which could result in knocking out your attacker. After the strike, make sure to continue, if necessary, into a secondary target to make sure the threat is neutralized. We do not want to strike and create space, because this will could possibly give your attacker time to recover. We also want to be aware that the attacker might have an accomplice. This is just one of many strikes you can use against a target in my B.E.T. “Target Based” Self Defense System…the fastest to learn and most effective self defense system in the world.

Any questions?
In this case wouldn’t it be easier to hit the neck from above? Thanks!
Rio, in this video I am demonstrating a trachea strike, but don’t get bogged down into specifics. Striking any open target to get a result (incapacitation, unconsciousness or death) would suffice. Thanks for the comment. Coach David
