Whether you live in Scottsdale, Jacksonville or Philadelphia, the odds of a female getting sexually assaulted are still 1 in 6; in fact, a girl within the age range of 18-24 has a 1 in 4 chance of being a victim of sexual assault. Therefore, it is not only imperative to have mental self defense tools in your hypothetical self defense tool bag, a woman must also know how to attack the most vulnerable body parts of a attacker. After all, awareness will not help a sleeping woman against the middle of the night home invasion threat. Remember that self defense does not warrant a single solution, it is about having an arsenal of tools and options to utilize.
Many self defense instructors become obsessed with the technique in which to perform self defense maneuvers but in actuality, the key is to remember that it’s the targets on the body that are most important and not which technique you use. The eye is the most vulnerable area on a person’s body and there is a plethora of ways to attack it. The eye can be jabbed, pushed, blinded, dusted and sprayed to name a few. Let’s explore the eye jab.
The most common manner in which to attack an eye is to jab or poke it. To maximize the benefits of jabbing an eye, one should use the 3 middle fingers together. The fingers should be slightly bent to avoid them breaking if the target is missed and the aim should be for either a single eye or the bridge of the nose (you’re likely to hit one eye or the other by aiming for the bridge of the nose). The motion should be swift and undetectable like that of a Gaboon Viper Snake strike. When the eye is jabbed, the optical nerve hits the skull and causes immediate pain, temporarily blinding the attacker.
It is possible that, by utilizing this technique, a person could have permanent damage but it is more likely that the cornea of the attacker’s eye would be scratched without permanent injury. All civilians have the right to engage in violence for the sake of defending one's own life or the lives of others, including the use of deadly force. By understanding basic human anatomy, it is fairly easy to identify vulnerable targets on a body in order to safely escape most any situation.
