Brachial Stun, Throat Cut.

This technique relies on complete mental stunning to enable the soldier to cut the sentry’s throat, severing the trachea and carotid arteries. Death results within 5 to 20 seconds. Some sounds are emitted from the exposed trachea, but the throat can be cut before the sentry can recover from the effect of the stunning strike and cry out. The soldier silently approaches to within striking range of the sentry (Figure 7-1, Step 1). The soldier strikes the side of the sentry’s neck with the knife butt or a hammer fist strike (Figure 7-1, Step 2), which completely stuns the sentry for three to seven seconds. He then uses his body weight to direct the sentry’s body to sink in one direction and uses his other hand to twist the sentry’s head to the side, deeply cutting the throat across the front in the opposite direction (Figure 7-1, Step 3). He executes the entire length of the blade in a slicing motion. The sentry’s sinking body provides most of the force–not the soldier’s upper-arm strength.

Pressure Points

During medium-range combat, punches and strikes are usually short because of the close distance between fighters. Power is generated by using the entire body mass in motion behind all punches and strikes. a. Hands as Weapons. A knowledge of hand-to-hand combat fighting provides the fighter another means to accomplish his mission. Hands can become deadly weapons when used by a skilled fighter.

(1) Punch to solar plexus. The defender uses this punch for close-in fighting when the opponent rushes or tries to grab him. The defender puts his full weight and force behind the punch and strikes his opponent in the solar plexus ,knocking the breath out of his lungs. The defender can then follow-up with a knee to the groin, or he can use other disabling blows to vital areas.

(2) Thumb strike to throat. The defender uses the thumb strike to the throat as an effective technique when an opponent is rushing him or trying to grab him. The defender thrusts his right arm and thumb out and strikes his opponent in the throat-larynx area while holding his left hand high for protection. He can follow up with a disabling blow to his opponent’s vital areas.

(3) Thumb strike to shoulder joint. The opponent rushes the defender and tries to grab him. The defender strikes the opponent’s shoulder joint or upper pectoral muscle with his fist or thumb. This technique is painful and renders the opponent’s arm numb. The defender then follows up with a disabling movement.

(4) Hammer-fit strike to face.
The opponent rushes the
defender. The defender counters
by rotating his body in the
direction of his opponent and by
striking him in the temple, ear, or
face. The defender
follows up with kicks to the groin
or hand strikes to his opponent’s
other vital areas.

(5) Hammer-fist strike to side
of neck. The defender catches his
opponent off guard, rotates at the
waist to generate power, and
strikes his opponent on the side of
the neck (carotid artery)
with his hand
clenched into a fist. This strike
can cause muscle spasms at the
least and may knock his opponent
unconscious.

(6) Hammer fist to pectoral
muscle. When the opponent tries
to grapple with the defender, the
defender counters by forcefully
striking his opponent in the
pectoral muscle .
This blow stuns the opponent, and
the defender immediately follows
up with a disabling blow to a vital
area of his opponent’s body.

(7) Hook punch to solar plexus
or floating ribs. The opponent
tries to wrestle the defender to the
ground. The defender counters
with a short hook punch to his
opponent’s solar plexus or floating
ribs . A sharply
delivered blow can puncture or
collapse a lung. The defender
then follows up with a combination
of blows to his opponent’s vital
areas.

(8) Uppercut to chin. The
defender steps between his
opponent’s arms and strikes with an
uppercut punch to the
chin or jaw. The defender then
follows up with blows to his
opponent’s vital areas.

(9) Knife-hand strike to side of
neck. The defender executes a
knife-hand strike to the side of his
opponent’s neck the
same way as the hammer-fist strike
except he uses the edge of his striking hand.

(10) Knife-hand strike to radial nerve. The opponent tries to strike the
defender with a punch. The defender counters by striking his opponent on
the top of the forearm just below the elbow (radial nerve) and
uses a follow-up technique to disable his opponent.

(11) Palm-heel strike to chin. The opponent tries to surprise the defender
by lunging at him. The defender quickly counters by striking his opponent
with a palm-heel strike to the chin using maximum force.

STRIKING PRINCIPLES
STRIKING PRINCIPLES

Effective striking with the weapons of the body to the opponent’s vital points
is essential for a victorious outcome in a hand-to-hand struggle. A soldier
must be able to employ the principles of effective striking if he is to emerge
as the survivor in a fight to the death.

a. Attitude.

Proper mental attitude is of primary importance in the
soldier’s ability to strike an opponent. In hand-to-hand combat, the soldier
must have the attitude that he will defeat the enemy and complete the mission,
no matter what. In a fight to the death, the soldier must have the frame of
mind to survive above all else; the prospect of losing cannot enter his mind.
He must commit himself to hit the opponent continuously with whatever it
takes to drive him to the ground or end his resistance. A memory aid is,
“Thump him and dump him!”
b. Fluid Shock Wave.

A strike should be delivered so that the target is hit
and the weapon remains on the impact site for at least a tenth of a second. This
imparts all of the kinetic energy of the strike into the target area, producing
a fluid shock wave that travels into the affected tissue and causes maximum
damage. It is imperative that all strikes to vital points and nerve motor points are
delivered with this principle in mind. The memory aid is, “Hit and stick!”
c. Target Selection.

Strikes should be targeted at the opponent’s vital
points and nerve motor points. The results of effective strikes to vital points
are discussed in paragraph 4-1. Strikes to nerve motor points cause
temporary mental stunning and muscle motor dysfunction to the affected
areas of the body. Mental stunning results when the brain is momentarily
disoriented by overstimulation from too much input—for example, a strike
to a major nerve. The stunning completely disables an opponent for three to
seven seconds and allows the soldier to finish off the opponent, gain total
control of the situation, or make his escape. Sometimes, such a strike causes
unconsciousness. A successful strike to a nerve motor center also renders the
affected body part immovable by causing muscle spasms and dysfunction due
to nerve overload.
(1) Jugular notch pressure point. Located at the base of the neck just
above the breastbone; pressure to this notch can distract and take away his
balance. Pressure from fingers jabbed into the notch incurs intense pain that
causes an the opponent to withdraw from the pressure involuntarily.
(2) Suprascapular nerve motor point. This nerve is located where the
trapezius muscle joins the side of the neck. A strike to this point causes
intense pain, temporary dysfunction of the affected arm and hand, and mental
stunning for three to seven seconds. The strike should be a downward
knife-hand or hammer-fist strike from behind.
(3) Brachial plexus origin. This nerve motor center is on the side of the
neck. It is probably the most reliable place to strike someone to stun them.
Any part of the hand or arm may be applied—the palm heel, back of the hand,
knife hand, ridge hand, hammer fist, thumb tip, or the forearm. A proper
strike to the brachial plexus origin causes—

* Intense pain.
* Complete cessation of motor activity.
* Temporary dysfunction of the affected arm.
* Mental stunning for three to seven seconds.
* Possible unconsciousness.

(4) Brachial plexus clavicle notch pressure point. This center is behind the
collarbone in a hollow about halfway between the breastbone and the
shoulder joint. The strike should be delivered with a small-impact weapon
or the tip of the thumb to create high-level mental stunning and dysfunction
of the affected arm.
(5) Brachial plexus tie-in motor point. Located on the front of the shoulder
joint, a strike to this point can cause the arm to be ineffective. Multiple strikes
may be necessary to ensure total dysfunction of the arm and hand.
(6) Stellate ganglion. The ganglion is at the top of the pectoral muscle
centered above the nipple. A severe strike to this center can cause high-level
stunning, respiratory dysfunction, and possible unconsciousness. A straight
punch or hammer fist should be used to cause spasms in the nerves affecting
the heart and respiratory systems.
(7) Cervical vertebrae. Located at the base of the skull, a strike to this
particular vertebrae can cause unconsciousness or possibly death. The
harder the strike, the more likely death will occur.
(8) Radial nerve motor point. This nerve motor point is on top of the
forearm just below the elbow. Strikes to this point can create dysfunction of
the affected arm and hand. The radial nerve should be struck with the
hammer fist or the forearm bones or with an impact weapon, if available.
Striking the radial nerve can be especially useful when disarming an opponent
armed with a knife or other weapon.
(9) Median nerve motor point. This nerve motor point is on the inside of
the forearm at the base of the wrist, just above the heel of the hand. Striking
this center produces similar effects to striking the radial nerve, although it is
not as accessible as the radial nerve.
(10) Sciatic nerve. A sciatic nerve is just above each buttock, but below
the belt line. A substantial strike to this nerve can disable both legs and
possibly cause respiratory failure. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the
body besides the spinal cord. Striking it can affect the entire body, especially
if an impact weapon is used.
(11) Femoral nerve. This nerve is in the center of the inside of the thigh;
striking the femoral nerve can cause temporary motor dysfunction of the
affected leg, high-intensity pain, and mental stunning for three to seven
seconds. The knee is best to use to strike the femoral nerve.
(12) Common peroneal nerve motor point. The peroneal nerve is on the
outside of the thigh about four fingers above the knee. A severe strike to this
center can cause collapse of the affected leg and high-intensity pain, as well
as mental stunning for three to seven seconds. This highly accessible point is
an effective way to drop an opponent quickly. This point should be struck
with a knee, shin kick, or impact weapon.

At some point in your life you are likely to find yourself a participant in a bar fight. These altercations occur for various reasons, but can usually be attributed to some drunken chump who couldn’t keep his mouth shut, couldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer, or couldn’t handle the fact you just snatched up his lady’s digits while he was peter-gazing in the urinal. Regardless of whether or not that drunken chump is you, it is all about self preservation. Here are some tips for surviving such a confrontation or avoiding it altogether.

1. Pace Yourself – People under the influence are hyper-sensitive at times. Something which you might generally brush off as nonsense might cause you to impulsively spring into attack mode. The inability to think before acting can get you fucked up proper. Pace yourself with the booze and you’ll already have an advantage over all the roided-out frat-babies strutting about with their Jager-bombs.

2. Aim Low – There is no such thing as a fair fight; unless sanctioned by the state of Nevada or New Jersey, everything is fair. That means your opponent’s balls are game, and as soon as you’ve smashed his hopes of procreation, continue to pummel him. A knee to the head or an eye-gouge work great when Michael McVeiny is bent over trying to shield his unspent sperm from any further shock.

3. Take Advantage Of Your Surroundings – If you see something that would make a good projectile or might be used as a barrier between you and your opponent’s flailing arms, PICK IT UP! Throw it, brandish it, or try to trip him. If he is still in the fetal position from that nut-shot, resort to ground-and-pound. Don’t worry about it getting too nasty because bar fights don’t last very long with all of the bouncers running about.

4. Strength In Numbers – Most people don’t pick fights unless they are pretty sure they’ll win–even drunk guys. Hang out in bars you are familiar with and maintain a close group of drinking buddies. Most groups of men have at least one peacekeeper to keep things civil. If he fails, at least numbers will be on your side.

5. Bring Women – While girlfriends have been known to get many men into fights, having an entourage of sexy ladies in your drinking party keeps other guys chill. No one gets the girl after mopping the floor with her friend. If anything, the instigator usually assists his victim in escaping the dreaded friend-zone. Get beat-up and get laid.

6. Don’t Be The Nice Guy – Nice guys wake up in the hospital or outside on the sidewalk. You might just be fighting for you life and you shouldn’t act any differently. Being timid, or soft, never poses well for your prospects of winning a fight. Once you are sure a fight is going to occur, strike fast and strike first. The first punch in a fight is often the most important.

7. Get The Guy Talking – Insult his mother or girlfriend. Ask him if he’s always so sensitive or if there’s just an unusual amount of sand in his vagina. Piss him off, get him yapping…it will serve as a good distraction when decide to shut him up.

8. Know When To Run – You think emergency exits are there for nothing? Live to fight another day. No matter how tough you are, there’s someone out there who you don’t want a piece of. Pride is one of man’s biggest downfalls. Swallow it and the women you were rolling with will love you the more for it.

1. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings.

Batman has won more fights at the last minute than we can count. The singing, the lady — it’s a good metaphor. But we actually mean this one literally. Leave an opera before the fat lady sings, and you know what is over? Your life as anything other than an orphan, that’s what. Learn to appreciate a little culture every once in a while — it just might save your parents’ lives.

2. Never trust a man who smiles all the time.

He is either trying to sell you something or trying to kill you.

3. There are two faces to every friend … and enemy.

Good and evil, friend and foe, life and death — there are two sides to every action, two aspects to every personality. Believe in original sin, but also in original virtue. And remember, most of all, that everybody has the capacity for both.

4. Some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb.

A group of nuns, a flock of ducks, even a marching band — on a pier for crying out loud! Some days it’s as if the whole world is conspiring against you. Keep trying: The solution to your problem may be right around the next corner.

5. Anatomically correct isn’t always actually correct.

The fewer articles of clothing you have with built-in nipples, the better.

6. Always announce your presence.

“I am Batman.” “I am Batman.” “I am Batman.” Let the world know your name … and tremble.

7. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.

Batman’s graveside vow? “I will rid the city of the evil that took your lives.” Way to make sure you never have a day off, dummy. If you live to be a million, it’s a promise you could never keep, a thought that becomes an action, an action that becomes an obsession, an obsession that becomes a lifetime, a lifetime that becomes a Sisyphusian endeavor. Next time, aim a little lower.

8. Learn to trust.

But don’t just give it away for free. Be somebody’s father, be somebody’s son. Learn to trust at least two people with your life. Bonus points if these people actually depend on your survival for their livelihoods like, say, a butler and a ward. That said …

9. Be self-reliant.

Your ward, your surrogate son, your — excuse us as we strain credulity — Boy Wonder you keep going on and on about? Dude’s got a habit of disappearing when the stakes are highest, sometimes for decades at a time (and when he does show up, he’s Chris O’Donnell). And those girls you keep romancing? Let’s just say it’s probably best that you don’t get too attached.

10. When the Bat’s away, the Cat will play.

Turn your back for one second, and the whole city suddenly needs your help … again! The price of safety is nothing short of constant vigilance.

11. Always have a good alibi.

Strange bruises, a nonexistent social life — these things raise the question: What does Bruce Wayne do with his free time? So always have a good excuse. Note: Playboy Playmates or a boat filled with Russian ballerinas will not work for everybody.

12. Be smarter than your opponent.

Everybody’s got a weakness, even the seemingly unbeatable Man of Steel. Learn your opponents’, and you can be the most feared man on the planet. Also, always carry kryptonite.

13. Make your own luck.

Head’s, I win. Tails, you lose. Life can sure seem like a 50/50 proposition every now and then. Don’t like what you got when you flipped a coin? Flip it again.

14. Remember: The joke’s on you.

That guy with the cackle, the makeup, the cockeyed walk and sideways glance? He wouldn’t have to point out life’s absurdities so much if you would just crack a smile every once in a while. You’re a man in a Batsuit! Even a psychotic, homicidal, nihilistic, anarchistic clown has it right every once in a while: Life is an absurd joke that will knock you dead. Why so serious?

15. Be prepared … for anything.

You never know when you’re going to be dangling from a helicopter as a shark bites your leg. Do you really want to be the one to tell the Dark Knight that you left the Anti-Shark Batspray at home? A utility belt: Learn it, live it, love it.

16. Look to the skies.

Someone, somewhere might be trying to signal you. Be on the lookout for his signs.

17. Embrace your fear.

Monsters are real, evil exists and, at every turn, there really are creepy little nasties ready to go bump in the night. At its best, life is still a terrifying journey. It’s OK to be scared. Face your fears and project them outward. You’ll be surprised at how many things are frightened by us right back.

18. Forgive, but don’t forget.

We’re all products of our environment. What leads one to seek vengeance leads another to seek destruction. The villains we face in life really aren’t that different from us after all, give or take a lucky break here or a tragedy there. Have pity. Let them live. Don’t become what you seek to end. But, by the same token, never forget who they are — and what they’ve done to you.

19. The greatest enemy you face is yourself.

Stare into the abyss long enough, and the abyss stares right back. The Joker? The Penguin? Two-Face? Catwoman? The horrors of the outside world can never hurt you as much as you can hurt yourself; a pain that can lead to self-destruction if you let it. Cultivate an inner-strength.

20. The night is darkest before the dawn.

The universe can be pretty brutal — a collection of accidents in a very busy place. But out of the greatest tragedies can come the greatest beauties. Without the night, there’d be no sunrise. Without bad things, there’d be no reason for hope. Without death, there can be no rebirth. Seek to bring the dawn.
