Punches are best used by trained boxers. If you're thinking purely self-defense against sudden, unprovoked physical attack, then consider limiting oneself to the edge of hand, palm strike, hammer fist, and cupped fingers slap.

Hammer fists, palm strikes, elbows, knees, etc are all great moves that anyone can utilize. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Jeff 👍🏻

Yeah, I forgot to mention low kicks, knees, and elbows. One KZbin video showed a classical Jujutsu demonstration in Japan many years ago. The elderly sensei, probably the grandmaster demonstrated the classic, defensive Jujutsu low kick. Kicks in Karate and Tae Kwon Do are typically higher and offensive. Jujutsu kicks are low and fast. The Japanese Jujutsu master simulated a fast, forward low kick against an opponent moving in to attack. Had the Jujutsu master connected with his fast, hard low kick to the shin, the other man would definitely be on the floor. A fast low kick to the shin using your forward foot to an advancing assailant is an excellent counteroffensive defensive move.@@SifuMattNumrich

Watch the Asakura-Mayweather fight. Mayweather likes to use the same chop to the neck, pretending to miss the jab to the face. It works pretty well when a person is off balance and in itself creates imbalance.

@@SifuMattNumrich Note, the outside step before launching it. You only need to be a couple inches to the outside of his front foot. Two advantages, he can't see your foot, so he can't tell what's coming next. Secondly, you set up a good distance to make your hits strong. It would be good to train this in the staggered stance, both southpaw and orthodox. I would put people in the stances, close together and just get them to try touching various targets (skin surface only or T-shirt depth: Liver, neck, face, solar plexus, adding also hits to the outside and inside shoulder to create, again, a set up for an uppercut or hook or back to the hammer on the neck), helping them to realize that the close distance delivers the target to the hand. Then give people a chance to figure out how to orient their body, within the stance, to maximally transfer body weight to the target (now, no touching, but just short of that). Then go to the punching bags to practice power. Finally, gentle sparring, going back to touching, this time with the glove. Other considerations: a)The set up...(various) asking the questions how can I move my foot to the outside without detection..? (Mayweather's footwork is deceptive) b) drill escape strategies after the hit or after a missed hit, since your opponent is going to be pissed if he doesn't go down the first time (will be throwing wild punches, usually close range, as you saw Asakura do). Note how Asakura took a few hits before he went down. It takes a while for the cervical plexus nerves to get overwhelmed. Try also sliding the forearm across the region...fast, digging the edge of the radius in like a saw and push your opponents body diagonally across the neck...leading to him falling off balance obliquely. The lunate and pisiform are both hard edges too, like the head of a hammer. Power concentrates on the hammerhead, the smaller the head, all other parts being equal, the more power concentrates. The difference between a hammer and a chisel: I guess that's self-explanatory. Happy training!
