Body Shots

Many Combatives buffs focus primarily on head shots, throat shots, eye gouges, brachial stuns, groin attacks and shin/knee/foot stomping. All fine and well but the body shots are just as effective as the head shots. You can level a fighter with a solid body shot and it’s going to be all that she wrote.
Many Ex-Cons whom I learned from all agreed to using body shots. Here is why. Most people defend the head. Most people aim for the head. There is almost no level changing in fights and usually people throw arm punches. With good body mechanics and angling that fight is yours. Savate kicks are awesome for body shots as are Thai Knees, Boxing or Systema punches, Silat elbows and Capoeira head butts.
