Before one engages in combat it is wise to know as much information about your adversary as possible. Sun Tzu states that if a warrior knows himself but not his enemy the warrior is gonna win 50% of the time. If the warrior knows the enemy and not himself than he will also win 50% of the time . If the same warrior doesn’t know himself or the enemy well the outcome is obvious, So we are gonna look at knowing ones self in this article.
Most Human beings have natural weapons provided by god for us in case of combat, of course as i always state our best weapon and the one that should be used first is the mind. Only after the mind was used to access the situation should the ninja go into physical combat. So here is a list of the tools that we have naturally as warriors .
Hands: They can be used for poking, scraping, striking punching and of course grabbing
Elbows: Very good for self defense , hard edges that can deliver a fairly good amount of damage in the right area i.e the cheek, eyebrow which produces a good amount of blood to blind your enemy , collar bone and sternum , sensitive areas of the skeletal structure that can be broken or fractured . And areas like the thigh and the shoulder blades which are neglected in most combat . Defense , elbows are also a greet means of defense when used at the right time. If an attacker throws a hard punch in the direction of the face your elbow can swiftly rise and block the fist damaging the knuckles of your adversary making them not able to punch again in that way.
Shoulder : ??? yep believe it or not the shoulder can be used to off balance your unaware adversary being that if they come at you and are met with the shoulder backed up by the weight of your body they can be sent flying. On of the great swords men of history Musashi spoke about knocking his opponent off balance with his shoulder and then cutting through them before they were able to get their balance.
Knees : Like the elbow another hard surface to hit with that can generate a decent amount of power , also very hard to see when up close and surprising when used with a leaping or jumping motion. Note its not always the best idea to bring the knee to the face so one might try bring the enemies face down to the knee “Just ” a though.
Shins: when striking the outside/inside of thigh can be debilitating instantly especially with soccer shin guards to help with the penetration. Shhhh that’s our secret(:
Foot: Used for kicking skills in different methods , the foot to the groin , solar plexus and head is lights out meatball” also shielded with hard shoes I.E dress shoes can be a nightmare in the possession of a skilled kicker
Head: not just used for thinking but also in some cases , delivering a surprising blow to the nose of the adversary in your face asking you if you want to dance. I find that the head butt which should be used with the crown of the head is best served in the middle of thier interview “what you got a prob-BAM ” head butt and they are seeing stars
Later we will discuss some great ways to deploy these tools but that’s for another day.
