Hand skills are used most frequently in self-protection because human hands have highly developed capabilities. With the capacity to grab, the hand is superior to any other anatomical weapon for self-protection. Without the ability to grasp the opponent, throwing, choking and locking skills would be virtually impossible.
The hands provide the quickest, shortest route to the opponent’s vital areas, especially those on the head. Hand attacks are used in short and medium range combat. Obviously, the opponent should be located slightly beyond arm’s length when you launch a hand attack. Practice speed and deception in hand skills.
In addition to offense, the hand provides a natural defense due to its position at the end of the arm. If you drop or raise your arms naturally, you will find that they easily extend to cover all your vital points including your groin, internal organs, throat and head. Easy mobility, maneuverability and natural proportions make the hands and arms unique weapons.
