More Karate Counter Attack Techniques (Part 3)

These karate counter attack techniques can be useful in some close counter situations.


Karate Counter Attack for "Pushers"


Karate Counter Attack Technique Against Pushers How do you handle a person who pushes you on your chest?

This is one way to put a stop to them:

Clamp both hands on his hand and squeeze to your chest.

Then step back with one foot and lower your body.

Next, bring up your knee quickly and smash it into your opponent's face.


One Hand Counter Attack

And what if a person grabs one of your hands with both of his?

How do you free yourself?

One way to defend yourself is by kicking into his knee or thigh with the edge of your foot. Kick hard!

This will distract him.

Make a fist with your free hand and wallop him on the chin.


Back of Head Counter Attack


Back of Head Counter Attack And what if your assailant sneaks up behind you and arm-locks you around your neck?

There are many self defense techniques you can apply for this situation. One such technique in Karate consists of the following sequence of attacks:

First, strike knuckle jabs and stabs to his ribs.

At the same time kick with your legs and side of knee.

Next, loosen his grip and pull head away.

Counter attack by pulling his hair and striking other pressure points.

Of course, that will work if your opponent has hair! If not, grab the back of his collar.


Waist Squeeze Counter Attack


Waist Squeeze Counter Attack In this situation, your opponent grabs you around the waist.

You defend yourself by smashing your head back into opponent's mouth & nose. It may hurt your head, but remember that your opponent's face is more vulnerable than the back of your head (unless he/she is wearing a helmet!).

For good measure, kick back with foot to your assailant's shin.

Then hand slash at his side and also twist your body to force your elbow under his jaw.

Apply other strikes if necessary.
