wow. Visual aids are always helpful!
It would appear that the traditional K-5 Center Mass target area just might need to be adjusted a little.
Missing the brachial artery on the arm side of the armpit. A vulnerable target when punching. Otherwise, a very useful diagram.
Sadly, people underestimate the effectiveness of knives. A criminal with a blade at 20 feet is an immediate threat. Tueller Drill applies even if you don't have a triple retention holster.
We did knife drills in Karate class at Black Belt level. We used a washable marker instead of a practice knife so you knew where you got hit. Sums up easy - knife fights are ugly and you will get cut. . . it is just a question of how badly. . .
We had "knife" fights in Junior High School (German class, Heidelberg duelling?) with such felt-pens - and everybody got marks all over each other.
In college Fencing the lunge was pretty devastating and practically only opposable by a "stop-thrust" or parry-riposte - which would still get you sharing breath and was by no means a complete real-world guaranteed of success.
Winner of a knife-fight goes to the ICU, loser to the morgue.
I would like another poster, just like this except with somebody who is, say, 80 pounds overweight. I suspect all that flab might make my, uhhh, my friend's, gut a little safer. Its for a friend, really.
I would also like to see another poster, maybe including the arterys under the armpits, and also maybe the target standing in a different fighting stance.
