Many self defense instructors teach a sideward strike to the point of the jaw as a means to cause an instant knockout. Although that is a very useful concept, especially when used as a preemptive strike (striking first when a fight is unavoidable,) that barely scratches the surface of the almost unlimited ways to control or neutralize an aggressor when one has the opportunity to strike or grab the chin of an attacker:
1. The classic hooking strike-The old reliable technique of striking the last three inches on either side of the jaw will cause the skull to pivot suddenly on the vertebra of the neck and violently shake the brain in the skull. This sudden and violent shaking of the head will cause the brain to bounce around, often knocking an aggressor out cold or at least causing a flash knockout, in which the victim is “out on his feet” and his mind goes blank for a few seconds before he comes to his senses after he is already lying on the ground. Needless to say, a flash knockout in and of itself is not a fight-ender, but the opportunity that it gives you to follow-up with other blows will almost ensure your surviving a fight.
2. The direct strike-Popularized by Rex Applegate and the other WW II pioneers of military close combat, moving directly in and striking the bottom of the jaw to push it upwards and backwards at about a 45 degree angle will often cause a knockout. Even if it doesn’t, it will cause your opponent to loose his balance and stumble or fall backwards, usually exposing his groin to kicks and his windpipe to further attacks.
3. Horizontally twisting the head-Grasping and twisting the head in the same direction as the classic hooking strike to the jaw won’t result in a knockout because it isn’t explosive enough to cause trauma to the brain, but, if you grab the back of the hand with one hand and the point of the jaw with the other, you will be able to twist the neck and control the head. Just as any gymnast would tell you, the body follows the head and therefore this movement can be used to turn an aggressor and move him (especially helpful to make a hole in a circle of multiple opponents and start attacking the others from behind or the side,) throw a person into a wall to better control him or even take someone to the ground.
4. Tilting the head backwards-Just as when horizontally twisting, instead of striking the jaw, pushing the bottom of the jaw upwards and backwards won’t result in a knockout, but it will cause an aggressor to bend his spine backwards, which will destroy his balance and expose his windpipe to follow-up blows. Even when incorporated into a strike, grabbing the chin will automatically position your extended fingers under the ridge of bone covered by the eyebrows and allow you to not only tilt the head, but cause pain by applying pressure to the eyes as well. This movement is a good follow-up for a direct palm heel to the chin that didn’t result in a knockout and can be used to pin an opponent by pushing him against a wall or, better yet, an object that comes up to the height of his lower back. By pushing him against such an object, like the hood of a car or even just pulling with your free hand on his back just above the level of his belt his balance will be gone and he can be controlled or finished off easily.
