In a physical conflict, the core of making the opponent lose his balance is to destroy the center of gravity or support structure of his body. However, it must be emphasized: **Any physical conflict is at risk, priority should be given to avoiding conflicts, and only the necessary means should be used legally and rationally in self-defense or to protect others.**. The following are some techniques based on the principle of self-defense for reference： --- ###**Basic principles** 1. **Stay calm**: Panic can weaken judgment. Observing the opponent's posture and movement patterns is the key. 2. **Use the opponent's power and momentum**: Using force to fight is more effective than brute force. 3. **Attack weaknesses**: Focus on supporting legs, joints, or center of gravity, rather than direct confrontation. --- ###**Practical skills (need to be combined with scene judgment)** #### 1. **Push-pull center of gravity offset** -**Applicable scenario**: When the opponent's feet are standing side by side. -**Method**: Quickly apply a lateral thrust (such as a palm root thrust) to the opponent's chest or shoulders, and at the same time hook or trip his ankle or the back of his calf with his feet. **The combination of pushing the upper body + tripping the lower body** can quickly destroy the balance. #### 2. **Lever principle controls joints** -**Applicable scenarios**: When the other party grabs you (such as wrist, collar). -**Method**: Grab the opponent's wrist backwards, quickly twist in the opposite direction of the joint (such as the side of the little finger), and at the same time use the weight of the body to lower the opponent's arm, forcing the opponent's center of gravity to lean forward out of balance. #### 3. **Guiding impulse** -**Applicable scenarios**: When the opponent lunges or punches. -**Method**: Dodge sideways and use your arms to pull the elbows or shoulders of the attacking limb (such as “four or two dials of a thousand catties”), causing its inertia to cause its center of gravity to lose control. #### 4. **Destroy the support leg** -**Applicable scenario**: The opponent is load-bearing on one leg (such as when stepping). -**Method**: Quickly sweep the outside of the opponent's knee or the inside of the ankle with your feet (avoid vigorous kicks to avoid injury), forcing it to lose support. #### 5. **Low-profile attack** -**Applicable scenarios**: When the opponent is standing higher or leaning forward. -**Method**: Suddenly squat or move sideways, use your shoulders to bump against the opponent's waist or thighs, while pulling down his torso with both hands, use a lever to tip him over. --- ###**Important Notes** -**Legality**: Use only within the scope of self-defense to avoid excessive injury. -**Priority **: Escape> Language Resolution> Nonviolent Control>Necessary counterattack. -**Risk control**: The risk of ground conflict is extremely high, try to avoid entanglement; if the opponent is armed, absolute priority will be given to evacuation. -**Training recommendations**: Skills need to form muscle memory through professional training (such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Aikido, and self-defense), otherwise they will easily fail in actual combat. --- **Final reminder**: The cost of conflict often exceeds expectations. The real “victory” is to protect one's own safety and avoid harming others.
