Open Handed Strikes Essentials: Open Hand Throat Attack (Volume 7)

Striking the throat with an open hand is a very efficient skill to possess as it targets the assailant's breathing. It can be applied in many ways, but once again, the foundation of any strike remains the same. It is the correct application of body mechanics that allows you to build a solid kinetic chain.

This type of strike can cause a lot of damage and could even be lethal and since the throat is a soft target; this particular strike does not require as much blunt force as if we were targeting the head, so we must rather focus on speed and accuracy.

The objective is to momentarily disrupt breathing in order to escape or in order to follow up with something else. In addition to that you will be shown some solo training options that you can use in order to work on your skill set with the help of any impact mannequin (Bob).
