Broken bones
This is a simple, aggressive skillset for home learning that is derived from ideas that I’ve studied in the past found in both Japanese bone-breaking (fractures and dislocations) styles as well as more straightforward Western approaches to create a fairly devastating result in an adversary.
It is easy to learn and with diligent practice, to execute. It is also a very fast response to specific high-threat attacks that can then be linked with other ideas as required to create the diminishment needed to prevail.
Students are currently learning this as a response to a high-aggression upright grappling entry with the threat of striking.
From here the ideas are absorbed and can be adapted and used for other threats such as weapons as the trainee wishes.
Spectrum of force
These ideas are presented as more extreme last-resort counters to assault by a highly violent aggressor.
This set can cause severe injury and loss of function in limbs as well as damage to the head.
It is presented here for student information only and may also be a possible lower-force response option than other tactics that might lead to the death of the aggressor and this should be considered for legal defence after the fact.
Injury that causes loss of function but heals to a level of regained function over time may be viewed as more justifiable than other actions depending on individual circumstances.
Building Synergy
The goal of the following set is to create the ability to flow immediately from one tactic to another. Readers are encouraged to then break the set down and create their own order of application for further individual study scenarios (one is included here along with, the complete drill and many development methods for power as well as legal considerations too).
Possible immediate results of application:
Broken jaw
“Displaced fracture” of the collarbone (basically snapped in half) which can cause:
Serious pain
Loss of function of the arm and shoulder on the side that is struck. Specifically, the inability to lift the affected arm or its continued use for grappling and striking.
