Improve any Technique

Appling this principal to any technique of any style of martial art will make the technique 100 times more
effective: Aikido, Boxing, Capoeira ……………. you get the idea.

A fellow member of my church was nice enough to invite me to his business to give a seminar on self defense.
This individual is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and assistant instructor at his dojo. At the end of the seminar he asked me to show him my favorite technique. I demonstrated a shoulder check technique I use against
paparazzi, to knock them down. I like the technique because even when caught on film, if done correctly, looks like an accident.

I applied the technique at about 25 percent. My friend was driven back a good 20 feet and had to do a
backward roll to recover. He and his wife (another black belt) were amazed. I explained the effectiveness of
the technique, was due to how it was applied. He and his wife had never heard of this principle in their years
of study.

Appling this principle is simple:

• Draw a line from toe to toe of the antagonist’s feet.

• Draw another line perpendicular to the first line

• The second line is the Line of Force

• Push, pull, throw, strike or kick on the Line of Force

Practice this principle enough and it will become automatic.
This principle maximizes technique. If you want to be sure you are applying this principle with minimum
effort/maximum effect stop by The Corona Self Defense Company (use your favorite technique in conjunction with this principle on my partner Bob) for a free, no pressure, class.

Four Elements of a Good Slap

Any aggressor stopped by this simple technique is surprised, (if they can think at all) when it used by a women. When the technique is used by a man you can see a look of humiliation on the aggressor’s face.

 As opposed to a knee or kick to the groin, many men will allow a women to do this technique to them because they think it is inconsequential.

Most of us have seen this technique in the movies or on television. The bad guy allows the women to slap him. Then he proceeds to do what he wanted to.

None of these women have been trained by The Self Defense Company. If they had, the bad guy would be on the ground, dazed, confused and unable to get back up for a while.

There are three elements to a good slap:

1. The fingers are held together
2. The hand is cupped
3. The target of the slap is the ear
4. The whole body delivers the slap

A lot of power is not necessary, but to maximize the technique it should not be delivered by just swinging the arm. If you want to be sure you are applying this technique with minimum effort/maximum effect stop by The Corona Self Defense Company (use the technique on my partner Bob) for a free, no pressure, class.
