You may be overwhelmed by all of the different ways that someone can attack you. American Kenpo Karate self-defense techniques are developed to help you counter, redirect or disarm any perpetrator trying to apply any one of these attacks. There are several “rules” for the first moves when someone applies an attack. For example, if someone were to push you hard, the first directive is to get your balance in one step (so that you aren’t pushed to the ground). Additionally, if you are “grabbed,” the rule is to grab the grab. Learning how to respond to each of the above attacks can help you anticipate what reactions will help you escape and protect yourself.
Check out the video demonstration by Master Rick Jeffcoat. He demonstrates how to respond to an attack.
