Incredibly Efficient But Lesser-Known Fighting Systems For Street Defense
No matter the place, no matter the time, every person is vulnerable to attacks. This is why self-
defense and martial arts are life skills that increase the chances of a person’s survival in the event
of an attack. While the best defense is still to run away, learning how to defend one’s self can work
wonders either by putting distance between the person and the attacker or simply evading or
blocking a potentially fatal stroke.
There have been dozens of fighting systems developed over the centuries, ranging from Chinese
kung fu to Krav Maga to Muay Thai, and all of them have been tested. However, there are newer
fighting methods that incorporate different techniques in self-defense.

Take for instance the Keysi Fighting Method, which focuses on both acting and reacting while
fortifying one’s defense. It may look familiar to people since this method has been recognized and
used in a number of Hollywood action movies. Main movements involve protecting one’s head with
an arm, with the elbow out, and the other arm, attacking. The defensive arm is also cocked for an
elbow attack.
Another new fighting method is called 52 Blocks. The interesting thing about this primarily-
defensive fighting style is that it was developed in prison and it helped prisoners develop awareness
of his surroundings. This translates very well to the real world, since a single successful block may
be all it takes to save your life.
