What are some effective self-defense techniques?

Answer by  theturtlepond (44)

Use your elbow in anyway you can. Go for the soft spots including the groin, throat, solar plexus, kidneys, temples, and eyes. If the attacker has a weapon disarm them by setting them off balance or tripping them. Don't be afraid to be cheap including throwing sand and kicks to the groin. Avoid a conflict in anyway possible.

Basic hand to hand combat training would do you good in a fight on the street .Most marshall arts teach basic self defence .That way you basicly know how to defend youself in a fight or to defend yourself if someone was to come after you in a fight.Good luck
