Self-defense battle range: How to know 4 ranges can help you win any battle

Four battle ranges for better self-defense

A key aspect of self-defense that many people overlook is how drastically different things can happen as you move further and further away from the attacker.

Martial arts usually have any number of "ranges" that use different technologies. Some people think that this approach is too complicated and many of them are not very useful in street struggles. This is very dangerous.

Hesitating can kill you in battle. You need a range system that is easy to understand, internal, and still valid.

You only need to worry about the four ranges.

1. Weapon range


2. Eye-catching range


3. Close range


4. Ground range

The following is a description of each scope, what it means for you, and how to use it.

Weapon range:

This range varies from weapon to weapon, but you or your attacker can use pepper spray, guns, bats, knives, etc. to cause damage.

This article will not teach you how to use weapons or how to deal with each weapon. This will be a very long article [maybe I will break it down with a weapon and post an article on each article].

A simple example of how to really understand the weapon's range is the surprising fact that the police believe that a knife-bearing person has a fatal threat within 30 feet. If you or your attacker does not carry weapons, you don't need to worry too much.

Eye-catching range:

This is the range where you can hit or kick people. Within this range you should look for open goals that can be hit with boxing or kicking. This looks very simple but I believe that I am important.

You must analyze your target, find the target every second, and then choose an attack or move based on your range, but if you are closer or farther away from the target, you can choose a different attack at any time.

Close range:

This is the range of your elbows, knees, heads, etc.

How do you know if you are in this range?

If you are within one foot [or more] of the attacker, you are in close range. Keep in mind that hitting in this range is a waste because you can't develop speed or thrust to make it damaging.

The good news is that you can do a lot of devastating things with your elbows and then move on to the attacker within this range. In fact, it's easier in many ways, because if you know what you are doing, then you are so close.

Ground range:

this is very simple. If you are on the ground, you are on the ground.

This is not a good place for me to tell you.. The ground is the last place you want to fight, this is where people are hurt.

But you should know that a lot of actions can get you out of the ground and get you back up as soon as possible.

How to use this information in self-defense:

You now have the knowledge to analyze battles and be able to identify when the scope has changed and how your tools have changed.

This article does not give you the tools to fight against it. It gives you the knowledge to make these tools effective. what What you don't want to do is focus too much on the scope and slow down your reaction. Time is because of this.

That's why I only choose 4 ranges to discuss. Some martial arts professors have as many as seven or more ranges. I have seen many fighters get into trouble because of this complexity and therefore fail. The real key is to understand the concept and keep it simple and useful.
