Bridport martial artists train the defence against 10 most common attacks

At our local martial arts school Ichinen Bridport, we take the training of self defence very serious. Our aim is to gain perfection in the art of self defence by using the Jiu-Jitsu skills.

The Jiu-Jitsu techniques supply you with a wide range of reaction to the 10 most common attacks. It includes striking and punching, throws and joint manipulations, as well as "dirty tricks" and anti bullying strategies.

The 10 most common attacks are in detail:

1. One person pushes, hands to chest, which is followed by the pusher striking first, to the head.

2. A swinging punch to the head.

3. A front clothing grab, one handed, followed by punch to the head.

4. A front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a head butt.

5. A front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a knee to the groin.

6. A bottle, glass, or ashtray to the head.

7. A lashing kick to the groin or lower legs.

8. A broken bottle or glass jabbed to face.

9. A slash with knife, most commonly a 3 to 4" lock blade knife or kitchen utility knife.

10. A grappling style head lock.

This is according to information from a UK government web page and the content is nowadays not public available anymore. The reason is unknown.

By the way, as my roots are in Germany, I can inform you that over there you find very much the same set up. That doesn't surprise me, as we have all two hands and two legs to perform. 

If you want to protect yourself against these common attacks, come and join us at the school. Training for the Jiu-Jitsu is twice a week for adults and once a week for children.
