2 handy self defense techniques and 3 of the worst

As some of you know, it's possible to fend off an attacker with just a few self defense techniques. You don't need to know every move in a particular style be a victor. You only need to distract, disarm or disable and attacker to make a clean getaway. This can be done with a couple of moves, or with only one move in many cases.

Even Damian Ross of The Self Defense Company made a post on Facebook a while back that said that you only need 3 moves to defend yourself against an attack, I totally agree.

This video demonstrate 2 self defense techniques that will take your attacker to the ground and give you time to get away. The first technique demonstrate a frontal attack while the second demonstrate an attack from behind. Notice how fast the actual attack is over and just how many moves where involved.

That guy obviously had a great deal of training as he makes the moves seems so easy. But what if you don't have a lot of self defense training or even none at all.

For the untrained person who don't have any moves, it might be wiser to stay away from attempting fancy moves that could put yourself in a disadvantaged position in the fist place. In the following video Nick Drossos demonstrates 3 of the worst moves to attempt in a real fight that could give your attacker the upper hand, and that should be avoided at all times.
