The face offers us many more opportunities. The nose is easy to break, causes watering of the eyes and is very painful. In the center of the side of the jaw is a sensitive region which is easy to break with a downward type of blow.

The eyes are another sensitive area to attack. You can poke your fingers into the eyes or rake the front or back of your fingers across the eyes. If you have keys in your hand, they can be poked into the eyes or raked across the eyes as a defense.

The temple is another extremely sensitive area of the head. A medium-light blow to this region will stun an attacker, and a harder blow can case much more severe damage. One reason that the temple is such an effective region is it's close proximity to the brain.

Another extremely effective blow is called a double insanity blow which is done by cupping your hands and popping the cupped hands over your assailant's ears. This will cause an implosion of the eardrums which can cause permanent hearing loss.

Every woman, from the time they were a young girl, knows about attacking a male in the groin. To injure a man, the defender must strike the male underneath the testicles driving them up into his stomach. The groin can be squeezed, struck, slapped or kicked. The groin can be attacked from the front, the rear, or from the back.

The ribs are still another sensitive area of the body. You can extend your middle knuckle and drive it in between your assailant's ribs. To enhance the pain and damage caused by the blow, try twisting your extended knuckle as you strike the point between the ribs.

When attacking the vital points on the human body, there are two types of strikes:

-   Surface Strike
-   Point Strike

A Surface Strike is a strike done with a large surface such as a knee, forearm or a fist. Even though you can generate a great deal of power with a Surface Strike, the damage tends to be diminished by the large surface area of the striking mechanism making contact with the target area.
