CORE
STRIKES There are 10
Core Strikes in the IDX system. These
strikes can be employed in various combinations to primary and secondary
targets to give you almost infinite flexibility. The strikes selected as the primary ones in
the system were chosen because if their ability to impact primary
targets. The respective strikes to
these targets are designed to be simple, effective and easy to learn. They don’t have to be precise and exact to
be functional. The strikes are
described with more detail in a subsequent section of the manual. ·
Thumb
Gouge – This is a penetrating strike to the eyes. It can also be used to the jugular notch of
the throat. ·
Chin
Jab – This is an upward strike to the chin that drives the head back. This could cause unconsciousness but at a
minimum it drives your enemy’s head backwards, knocks them off balance and
opens them up for further strikes.
Also, if you are seated or on the ground this strike could be used to
the groin of your enemy. ·
Yoke
Strike – By using the web of your hand you can impact the throat. A powerful strike may cause its collapse
and/or severe choking. ·
Axe
Hand – These edge of hand blows are extremely versatile. Their primary target would be the throat,
bridge of nose, or just under the nose.
They can be used against the forearms and shins with painful results. ·
Elbow
Strikes – There are a number of angles that elbows strikes can be
thrown. Their most important usage may
be to enemies to the rear or side of you.
A rear elbow strike can be thrown to the solar plex or chin. From a forward perspective they can be
slammed horizontally to the neck or head.
They can also used vertically to the chin. ·
Cupped
Hand – Cupped hand strikes are effective to the groin and they can be
immediately turned into grab and pulls.
Ear boxing (double cupped hand) can cause dizziness or the tearing of
ear drums. ·
Knee
Strike – This strike is most effective to groin. Knee strikes have a tremendous amount of
power. ·
Inside
Edge of Foot Kick – Kicking to the shin is a very effective close quarter
technique. The nerves on the shin are
very exposed and though permanent injury isn’t likely a lot of pain may be
caused with this kick. ·
Stomp
Kick – This kick serves two purposes.
Against standing enemy’s it is a great technique when he is very
close, either to the front or rear.
Against a downed enemy this is your most effective tool. Stomp on his head, neck, ribs or ankles. ·
Hammer
Fists – This strike can be used in an overhand motion straight down to the
bridge of the nose or the chin. In a
more horizontal movement it can be used to the temple, chin, neck or as a
method to remove an enemy’s guard. |
