Real punches—just grip your palm tightly! But there are many differences in techniques; I won't elaborate on straight punches and side hooks here. Most people are only used to attacking with the front or side of their fists, but actually, striking with the outer side of the little finger, like using an ice pick, is also quite effective, especially for backhand attacks to the temple, which can instantly kill an enemy or at least leave them dazed for a while.
Back of the palm—this refers to the palm heel! The usual action is to slightly bend the fingers and tilt the palm back, ensuring the hardness of the back of the palm. Attacking the enemy with the back of the palm is often more effective than using a fist: bent fingers can dig into the enemy's eyes, or you can simply grab whatever you can from top to bottom! This method is especially suitable for those who aren't very tall. Just imagine, when a person 165 cm tall attacks an opponent 180 cm tall, using the back of the palm to strike the opponent's chin and then grabbing down from the eyes—it's terrifying!
Having a good pair of leather boots is like having a sharp weapon—personally, I think using the inner and outer sides of the boots to kick is more effective than kicking with the toe, because the contact area is larger, making it more suitable for attacking the smaller, protruding bones of the enemy's hands, while toe attacks usually only target the bones of the calves for good effect.
Of course, knee, elbow, shoulder, and even headbutt attacks are also quite effective, especially for shorter individuals. Using a quick, short burst of power to attack during close combat often allows them to defeat taller opponents.
Here's a dirty trick—if you're using some toothpaste that tastes good and is good for your teeth, congratulations! In close combat, especially during grappling, if you have even a second to unleash your survival instincts, you might change the outcome of the fight. When your front teeth sink into the opponent's carotid artery or Adam's apple, you probably haven't even exerted much force, and your opponent is already scared stiff.

Alright, now let's talk about attacking the enemy's most vulnerable spots with maximum force and how to maintain balance during a fight.
Attacking the enemy's most vulnerable spots with maximum force applies not only to fighting but also to combat. No matter the situation, regardless of how powerful the enemy is, there will always be places that are easy to attack, and there will definitely be gaps in their defenses.
Depending on the situation, attacking the enemy's most vulnerable spots with maximum force can lead to a quick victory! Active offense is key in unarmed combat because only by actively attacking can you subdue or even kill your opponent!
Maintaining your own balance while making the enemy lose theirs is a crucial factor in winning a fight. Whether on the battlefield or the streets, your first reaction upon encountering an enemy should be to quickly adjust to a defensive stance; protecting yourself first allows you to take down others~~
There are many general defensive stances, but let me share a simple and practical one! (Don't tell me you're a disciple of Wong Fei-hung~ that stance is too exhausting to use!) Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with the heel of your left foot roughly in line with the toes of your right foot, lean your upper body slightly forward, and bend your knees a bit—make sure your legs aren't stiff!
Form your hands into a palm, with at least the left hand maintaining a vertical palm, which makes it easier to deflect the opponent's attacks, about fifteen centimeters from your face, with the outer side of the palm facing forward, and your body turned sideways to face the enemy. This stance resembles a boxing stance but has better balance; before making contact with the opponent, this position maximizes your own balance.
When fighting with an opponent, remember to adjust your center of gravity according to the situation, slightly angling your feet outward to maintain your balance! Of course, if you think your voice is good enough to rival Jacky Cheung, remember to use shouting to disrupt the enemy's spirit~~ (Remember those martial arts movies where the masters keep laughing and making noises before attacking?)

Utilizing the enemy's momentum in a fight while ensuring your own accuracy and speed is crucial!
Charge attacks usually come from opponents who are tall and strong, especially in certain fighting styles where waist power is used for throws, shoulder power for lifts, and these techniques often start with a charge!
Given that the average height of Asians (excluding those bastard countries!) is about 15 cm shorter than that of Europeans and Americans, when facing a charge during an attack, you should primarily focus on utilizing and dodging; otherwise, it can be too dangerous (I don't know about others, but I won't go looking for trouble. A few years ago, I had a friendly match with a Russian soldier, and when that guy's shoulder hit me, my ribs hurt for a week; even breathing was painful!)
Being good at using the enemy's momentum is another principle of fighting. Chairman Mao said it well: Underestimate the enemy strategically, but pay attention to them tactically! When a fight breaks out, you should always assume your opponent is several times stronger than you and avoid engaging in a battle of endurance right away.
Use the opponent's momentum and strength to subdue them. For example, when you see the opponent charging at you, adjust your stance and take a big step to the side to quickly evade their attack or collision, and conveniently trip them, and so on.
In a fight with an enemy, there is absolutely no time to consider what techniques to use! There is no time to show off or pose; any fighting action must flow as instinctively as possible to be effective!
When training for combat, start by mastering the basic techniques, and you must try to speed up your movements. Each move must be accurate, and then improve your speed through continuous practice, sparring, and accumulating real combat experience!

Finding the right attack targets is a must for any fighter. Fighting is a life-and-death struggle between people, and the weaknesses of the opponent are also your own weaknesses. The following listed body parts are basically the most vulnerable and easily attacked areas of the human body; let's see if there are any omissions!
The human body can be divided into three main parts in combat: head and neck, torso, and limbs. The critical areas of each part are:
Head and neck: ears, temples, eyes, nose bridge, upper lip, chin, Adam's apple, throat, sides of the neck, back of the neck.
Torso: collarbone, armpit, solar plexus, abdomen, groin, ribs, waist, spine.
Limbs: fingers, wrist joints, elbow joints, shoulder joints, knee joints, ankle joints, instep.
In combat, as long as you attack these critical areas, you can at least injure someone; if it's serious, it's best not to try it on someone untrained, as it could lead to death!

In important parts of the body, even a light pressure or attack can potentially cause serious injury or death! So, if any brothers are willing to practice these moves, remember! Start slowly and gently, gradually increasing the force through training and adaptation; don't accidentally kill your sparring partner, or you'll have to pay for it!
Let's talk about some important attack points on the head and neck!
1. Ears: The usual technique is the traditional martial arts move of double winds piercing the ears, best done from behind! Keep your hands cupped and simultaneously strike the enemy's ears, especially remember to use the harder part of your palm for better effect!
Generally speaking, if a grown man does this to someone, it can easily rupture their eardrum, shock their nerves, or cause bleeding in the ear; if it's more severe, it could lead to a concussion or worse!
2. Temples: Why is the temple one of the top targets for every fighter? The bone structure in this area is weak, and there is an artery and a large concentration of nerves just beneath the skin. A slight hit can at least cause a moderate concussion, and a more severe attack can only lead to one outcome (I once saw a woman under 160 cm tall kill a guy over 178 cm tall with a single hit from a vegetable basket! That man was a city management officer who confiscated goods at the market every morning; he had over a thousand plastic basins at home).
3. Eyes: You should know the traditional martial arts move double dragons playing with pearls, right? It involves using your index and middle fingers in a V shape to stab into the enemy's eyes, keeping your fingers and wrists straight! However, most untrained people can't pull this off; first, the opponent won't just stand still for you to aim, and second, during the force application, you might miss and end up poking their nostrils instead.

Continuing from the previous chapter~
1. Nose: Anyone who's been in a fight knows the consequences of getting hit on the nose, right? But most brothers are used to attacking from the front, which looks effective, but I believe attacking from the side, especially with the palm or fist horizontally striking the nose bridge, is more effective—at least it can cause temporary blindness!
If the force is strong enough, it can embed fragments of the nasal bone into the enemy's brain, resulting in a one-hit kill! If you're already in close grappling, try using the back of your palm to strike upward; if you hit, it will get lively~~~~~ you can see different colored bodily fluids within a minute!
2. Upper lip: I bet not many know about attacking the upper lip. The upper lip is where the nasal cartilage connects to the hard bone, and the nerves here are very close to the skin, making it one of the critical areas of the face! You can strike the enemy's upper lip with the outer side of your palm or a small fist angled slightly upward; even a light hit will cause such pain that you'll feel dizzy, and your legs will tremble!
3. Chin: Attacking with the back of the palm is safer and more effective than using a fist! Punching can injure your fingers, and the force application takes longer, giving the opponent time to prepare!
4. Adam's apple: The recommended attack method is to strike the Adam's apple with the outer side of the palm, but let me share my thoughts here~ I personally think using a small fist is also quite effective. Another technique is to open your right hand in a V shape, as if trying to grab the opponent's neck, and then slam it forward. Hehe~~ I once
3. Kidneys: The scientific name seems to be kidneys, right? Under the renal cortex, there are some major nerves branching from the vertebrae. Striking this area can damage the opponent's kidneys and cause severe nerve shock, requiring at least a few days in the hospital.
When striking, the outer side of the fist, the folded second knuckle, the knee, and the toe of the boot can all be used, with similar effects!
4. Spine: The stuff inside the spine is the spinal cord. Hitting the spine can lead to dislocation of the opponent's spinal joints, resulting in mild paralysis or, in severe cases, instant death! Attacks using the knee, elbow, heel, or toe are particularly effective. It’s recommended to strike about 7 to 9 centimeters above the opponent's waistband, as this area is relatively weak!
Overall, the best defense is offense, and ensuring your own safety before attacking is also very necessary. The kind of life-and-death fighting seen in martial arts novels usually ends in mutual destruction, which is definitely not the essence of combat!

In combat, the most dangerous attacks usually come from the opponent's arms, but the most common attacks are also aimed at the opponent's arms!
First, let’s talk about attacks on the knuckles. Taking the example of an enemy attacking from behind by hugging the waist, when the opponent grabs your waist from behind, use one hand to grab one of their fingers while the other hand firmly grips their wrist. As you pull their wrist down forcefully, bend their finger backward, and you’ll hear a crisp sound of a fracture along with a heartfelt scream from the opponent.
Wrist joint attacks are also a common method. Forcing the opponent's wrist in any direction will cause them severe pain. The usual method is to place both thumbs on the back of the opponent's hand and bend their wrist at a right angle towards the forearm, which can quickly render the opponent incapable of attacking!
In Chinese martial arts, there are countless ways to bend joints, all of which have strong attacking effects. However, the key lies in mastering combat techniques and being familiar with human anatomy to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy with a single strike. Therefore, long-term training and continuous practice (always ensure safety first!!!) are crucial to mastering combat techniques!

Throwing holds a significant weight in combat techniques. In unarmed combat, sometimes you need to throw the opponent down to effectively attack their vital areas. Common throwing methods include hip throws, hip rotation throws, shoulder throws, over-the-head throws, leg sweeps, and back throws, among others.
In my opinion, there are a few important points during the practice of throwing:
1. Speed is the primary factor in defeating the enemy with throws, but during training, the focus should first be on the precision of the movements. Once you fully master these movements, speed can be improved through continuous practice!
2. During the throwing process, it’s generally not emphasized to practice under the opponent's resistance. As long as both parties pay attention to their posture when falling, they can cooperate to accurately complete the throwing movements!
In traditional martial arts, I believe that throwing techniques are the ancestors of throwing in combat. Almost all throwing techniques in combat have evolved from these throwing techniques. I hope friends who understand throwing can share their insights, thank you!

Let’s first talk about the hip throw. Generally, at the start of the hip throw, face the opponent in a defensive stance, placing your left foot in front of the opponent's left foot. At the same time, use the back of your left hand to strike the opponent's right shoulder forcefully while grabbing or holding onto their clothing, aiming to make the opponent lose balance!
Using the left foot as the pivot, rotate 180 degrees to the left while wrapping your right arm around the opponent's waist. Suddenly exert force with both arms to pull the opponent towards your right hip, lifting them off the ground. When completing this action, try to keep your knees bent for better effect!
Quickly straighten your legs and thrust your hip forcefully into the opponent's waist! At the same time, bend forward and pull down with both hands to slam the opponent to the ground. Use your hip as the support point to thrust the opponent onto your right hip (remember, not the outer side of the leg!).
Finally, throw the opponent down to the ground in a left-side falling position, then attack their vital areas. Throughout the entire movement, try to maintain your own balance, especially during the rotation. Be sure to control the direction and force of your exertion, or you might end up falling too!

The hip rotation throw and the hip throw are quite different, so be careful not to confuse them!
At the start, face the enemy in a defensive stance, standing slightly closer than in the hip throw; take a big step forward with your left leg, placing it a few centimeters outside the enemy's right foot, with most of your weight on your left foot. At the same time, strike the upper part of the enemy's right hip with your left hand and firmly grab that area, causing the enemy to lose balance and lean back!
Step around the enemy with your right foot, placing it behind them while wrapping your right hip around their waist. Try to push your hip to the right, facing the enemy's backside, pulling them towards your right hip to lift them off the ground. Then, use your left elbow to clamp down on the enemy's right hip.
Straighten your legs and use your right hip as the support point to slam the enemy to the ground. Be sure to remember to place the enemy on your right hip, not the outer side of your right leg; always keep a firm grip on the enemy's right hip; throw them down into a left-side falling position. In combat, this method can render the enemy unconscious and allow you to strike their vital areas at will.
Let me add a couple of points here~ The most dangerous part of this method is controlling the force. If the strength is insufficient during the throw, you might end up being at the mercy of the opponent, so it’s best to practice until you’re proficient before using it.

The shoulder throw, in traditional throwing techniques, seems to be called a backpack, right? (Not sure about that!)
At the start, face the enemy in a defensive stance. The initial movement and footwork are the same as in the right hip throw technique. Place your left foot in front of the enemy's left foot. At the same time, strike the enemy's right shoulder forcefully with the back of your left hand and firmly grab their clothing.
Using your left leg as the pivot, rotate your body 180 degrees to the left, always protecting your head and neck with your right hip. Get close to the enemy and grab their right shoulder with your right hand, then firmly hold onto that spot. While completing the rotation, pull the enemy forward and place their waist on your hip; your right foot should be slightly outside the enemy's right foot, with your hip and elbow close to your body and your knees bent.
Straighten your legs, bend forward, and pull down forcefully with both hands to lift the enemy onto your shoulder and slam them to the ground.
Over-the-head throw (I think it’s also called a rolling throw?)
When using this shoulder throw method, you should fully utilize the enemy's momentum. Start in a defensive stance facing the enemy, about five to six steps away. When the enemy charges, grab their collar with both hands, quickly lift a leg (either left or right, whichever is more comfortable), and firmly kick their abdomen with the sole of your foot.
Keep a firm grip on the enemy's collar and kick their abdomen with your foot; using the enemy's momentum, pull them forcefully while kicking them to lift them off the ground. At the same time, lean back, and when your hips touch the ground in a sitting position, continue to roll backward until your back and shoulders hit the ground.
Keep your grip tight, arch your back, pull your hips back, and with your feet, kick the enemy's abdomen to launch them into the air. The enemy will fall backward.
Hold onto the enemy's collar tightly to complete the backward roll and sit on their chest.

Leg sweep throw (Hehe~ I bet everyone used this move a lot when they were kids! But I was really chubby as a kid, so I basically just posed and got thrown to the ground by others.)
Start in a defensive stance facing the enemy, then step out with your left foot to the outside of the enemy's right foot. Quickly strike both of the enemy's shoulders with the palms of your hands and grab their clothing. This method can make the enemy lose balance and lean back.
Shift your body forward, placing your weight on your left foot, while keeping both hands firmly on the enemy's shoulders. As you shift your weight, swing your right leg forward in an arc between your left leg and the enemy's right leg.
Suddenly swing your raised right leg down and backward, striking the enemy's calf with you
