I was talking with a boxing fanatic at my Bloomingdale martial arts school last week, and we were discussing the jab. He said how the jab is the best self-defense move around.

The 10 Most Versatile (and Deadly!) Fighting Tools
When you?re confronted with an attacker who?s got your money (and who knows what else!) on his mind, you may instinctively want to run. But what if you can?t get away? Most people don?t realize that they?ve already got ten of the most versatile and deadly fighting tools already on their side, just waiting to be used. What are they?
These super flexible appendages can cause quite a lot of pain if used correctly in self defense. They can even cause permanent damage. Take your eyes, for example. Our eyes are the center of our entire world, and without them ? life would be pretty difficult. The human body instinctively knows this and goes to great lengths to help us protect our eyes. If you?ve ever got a speck of dust or an eyelash in your eyes and immediately set about rubbing those watery eyes ? you know what I?m talking about.
Can you guess what 1 or more of these “tools” are? Stay tuned for more!
