In a physical fight, it is most important to keep yourself safe. If you must take action to protect yourself, here are some basic self-defense techniques that can help you keep the other person off balance: 1. **Maintain good posture and balance**: - **Stable center of gravity**: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, body slightly leaning forward, and weight evenly distributed. This helps you to move or adjust your posture quickly when necessary. 2. **Use the other person's momentum**: - **Use their momentum**: When the other person tries to push or pull you, use their momentum to counter it. For example, if the other person pushes you forward, move to the side while gently nudging them with a part of your body (such as your shoulder) to knock them off balance. 3. **Low-center attack**: - **Kick or sweep**: Low kicks or sweeps aimed at the other person's legs can effectively disrupt their balance. Common methods include a side kick or a low leg sweep. 4. **Body Control Techniques**: - **Pull the Balance Point**: Grab the opponent's wrist, collar or shoulder and disrupt their balance by pulling or twisting quickly. For example, quickly pulling the opponent's arm to one side while moving your body in the opposite direction can make the opponent lose balance. 5. **Environmental Utilization**: - **Use the Terrain**: If there are obstacles around, such as walls or furniture, you can guide the opponent to contact these obstacles to restrict their movement, thereby increasing the risk of losing balance. 6. **Practice and Training**: - **Professional Training**: Taking martial arts, self-defense courses or combat training can systematically learn how to effectively protect yourself in physical conflicts and maintain legal and ethical boundaries when controlling the opponent. **Important Reminder**: - **Avoid Violence**: Try to avoid physical conflicts and give priority to resolving conflicts through communication, evacuation, etc. - **Legality**: In any case, self-defense actions should be carried out within the legal scope to ensure that they do not exceed the necessary self-protection limits. - **Psychological Preparation**: Stay calm and avoid making decisions that you may regret when you are emotionally excited. If conditions permit, it is recommended to seek professional self-defense training to learn how to protect yourself more effectively and safely.
