In basic self defense situations, there are many strikes you can use. The best method to use depends on the location and proximity of the attacker. For example, if your attacker is on your upper back, you can use your hand. You can strike with a knife hand position, a palm strike, or a knuckle blow for softer targets. A tightly curled fist is another effective strike.
Outward block
The outward blocking is similar to a boxer’s parry but you do not take the opponent's punch. Instead, you block them outside. This block can either be done on the ribs, face or midsection depending upon where the opponent is going with his punch.
Side elbow
The side elbow can be used as a defensive move. Because the elbow bone has a thicker bone than the fingers, it can block an opponent’s punch with a brick wall. It can do serious damage if used in self-defense.
Eye strike
The eye strike is a basic self defense technique that can be used to incapacitate or enflame an opponent. It can be executed with your fingers or thumb and is very effective when used properly. You need to be sure your strikes are powerful, fast, and repeated.
Rotate your wrists
Rotating your wrists is a basic self-defense move that you can use if someone tries to grab your wrist. This will allow the attacker to move away with as little force as possible. If you are held down by an attacker, you can break it with your shoulder power.
A flat hand is used to slap an assailant's ears.
Flattening an attacker with your flat hand is a powerful self-defense technique that can help stop an attack. The mandibular nerve is located inside the ear. It's easy to reach with weak hands. When slapping an assailant, it is best to secure your hand in the armpit. Then you can go the opposite way and slap him/her in the ear.
Avoid confrontation
Avoiding confrontation is an essential part of self-defense. You only have a few seconds in which to respond and make a move during a confrontation. Being a target is the last thing you want. It is best to keep calm and be aware of what's going on around you to avoid getting hurt. When an attacker is approaching, focus on the person's back, neck, groin, and legs.

It is essential to decide what type of Martial Art you wish to learn. Do you want to learn Kung Fu? Or perhaps Karate? Although these two styles may be very different, they are both excellent.
