Know How Much Pressure To Use

Many self defense tactics use pressure points to subdue or hurt the attacker so that the victim can either engage them further or choose to run away while they are down. It is important to know where these points are exactly before they are every really needed in a life and death struggle. Take the time to feel them on your own body in front of a mirror and see how much pressure is needed to make them feel uncomfortable. When facing an attacker this will give a clearer idea of just how much you will need to push in order to make it work on someone else.
