[WARNING: This list contains graphic descriptions of techniques for killing.]

Sometimes when you are threatened with physical violence, a weapon to

defend yourself with is not always available. Your hands, however, are always

with you, and can be as lethal as any weapon. Below are a list of attacks that

will almost certainly result in death. Remember, these techniques should

never be used except in a life or death situation for self-defense.

Techniques 1 – 5

1. TEMPLE – A very susceptibile vital spot. If struck with sufficient force, may

cause unconsciousness or death.

2. NASION – This is the summit of the nose. If struck with sufficient force may

cause death.

CRIME

25 Methods for Killing With YourBare Hands

3. PHILTRUM – This is the area between the upper lip and the bottom of the

nose. Attack to this area may also cause unconsciousness or death.

4. HOOK TO JAW – A powerful hook punch to the front side of jaw may snap

an enemy’s neck. Fatal.

5. ADAM’S APPLE – A sharp blow here may cause enemy to asphyxiate.

Techniques 6 – 10

6. SMALL OF BACK – A very strong blow to the small of the back can cause the

backbone to break.

7. TESTICLES – The strong, focused pain of a vicious low blow may cause

shock, resulting in death.

8. BASE OF CEREBELLUM – A powerful blow to the nape of the neck, causing

mortal damage.

9. COCCYX – A powerful blow to the tail bone. Fatal.

10. FULL NELSON – Stand behind the enemy, put your arms under his, and

lock your hands behind his head. Bending the neck forward may either break

neck, asphyxiate enemy, or cut of supply of spinal fluid to brain, causing brain

damage or death.

Techniques 11 – 15

11. HALF NELSON – Again, standing behind enemy, but one arm is used to pin

one of enemy’s arms.

12. BRAIN BUSTER – Bend enemy over towards you, placing him in a headlock.

Grab the back of his belt, and haul him into the air, vertical, upside-down.

Allow yourself to fall backward, landing on your enemy’s head, which will

absorb your combined weight. Most effective on concrete or gravel.

13. RUSSIAN OMELET – Cross enemy’s legs. Fold enemy by pinning his

shoulders to ground upside-down and placing his legs above him. Sit on his

legs, folding the bass of the spine. Fatal.

14. HEART PUNCH – A strongman’s attack, it is simply a powerful blow to the

heart. (Many years ago, the wrestler Ox killed an opposing wrestler with this

attack.)

15. UPPERCUT – An upward strike to the bottom of the jaw with the heel of

the hand, causing the enemy’s head to snap backward. May shatter

vertabrae. Fatal.

Techniques 16 – 20

16. ABDOMEN – A substantial blow to this area may rupture a vital organ,

causing death.

17. RIB CAGE – A vicious shattering of the rib cage may cause grave internal

bleeding.

18. HEAD-TO-WALL PUNCH – A swift, hard, cold-cock punch to an enemy’s

face while he is standing near a wall may drive his head into it, causing the

back of the skull to shatter fatally.

19. PINNED DROP KICK – Standing behind enemy, holding his arms straight

back. A drop kick to the back without releasing arms may severe spine,

causing death.

20. HEAD WRENCH – Grabbing an enemy’s head by the mouth and the back of

the skull, then twisting with a sudden, violent jerk to rend vertabrae, may

easily cause death.

Techniques 21 – 25

21. CHOKE HOLD – Once a favorite of law enforcement officials, has often

proved deadly. The right arm goes over the enemy’s right shoulder, and grips

the back of the head. The left arm comes over his left shoulder, reaches

across neck, and grabs own right forearm. With enough pressure applied,

causes brain damage or death.

22. HEAD YANK – Bend enemy forward, grab head, and pull back with

convincing force. May seperate delicate vertebrae, causing death.

23. EARS – Coming up from behind an enemy and cupping the hands in a

clapping motion over the victims ears can kill him immediately. The vibrations

caused from the clapping motion will burst his eardrums, and cause internal

bleeding in the brain.

24. KIDNEYS – A large nerve that branches off to the spinal cord comes very

close to the skin at the kidneys. A direct blow with the knife edge of your

hand can cause death.

25. EYES – Use your fingers in a V-shape and attack in gouging motion.

Final Note

Attacking is a primary factor. A fight was never won by defensive action.

Attack with all of your strength. At any point or any situation, some

vulnerable point on your enemies body will be open for attack. Do this while

screaming as screaming has two purposes:

1. To frighten and confuse your enemy, and

2. To allow you to take a deep breath which, in turn, will put more oxygen in

your blood stream. Your balance and balance of your enemy are two

important factors; since, if you succeed in making your enemy lose his

balance, the chances are nine to one that you can kill him in your next move.

The best over-all stance is where your feet are spread about shoulders width

apart, with your right foot about a foot ahead of the left. Both arms should be

bent at the elbows parallel to each other. Stand on the balls of your feet and

bend your waist slightly. Similar to a boxer’s crouch. Employing a sudden

movement or a scream or yell can throw your enemy off-balance.

There are many more ways to kill and injure an enemy, but these should work

best for the average person. This is meant only as information and I would

not recommend that you use this for a simple High School Brawl. Use these

methods only, in your opinion, if your life is in danger. Any one of these

methods could very easily kill or cause permanent damage to someone.

If you are forced to use these techniques, you may also find these two lists

Let´s analize some of them:- Temple: The temporal bone is the weakest skull bone, true. But to breaka temporal bone the punch should be very strong, and besides, you canfracture the skull and do a little harm to the brain. Even when you provokean epidural hematoma due to leakage from the middle meningeal artery,which traverses the temporal bone, that is not always fatal.- Nasion: No way you can kill anyone hitting this spot. You can breakbones, but that provokes little damage to vital structures. - Philtrum: You may cause a vagotonic reaction with hypotensiveresponse, but I doubt you can kill many with that technique- Small of back: No, you can break a bone, or damage a kidney, butdefinitely not kill anyone- Coxxix: No way Jose, never, that´s only the typical "kick in the ass", youcan not kill anyone with this. Definitely not a mortal technique.- Testicles: The same than Philtrum, not likely to kill anyone. You can do alot of damage with this blow, but it is very unlikely to kill someone with it.- Full nelson and half nelson: Those techniques are used forimmobilization, not to kill. You have to be very powerful to break someone

However, the ear clap thing is an excellent way to not only deafenan enemy, but make it so he can't stand! from there, killing him is amatter of finding a heavy object.

I would disagree with some of your points. Lets analyse youranalysis:

- Temple: the meningeal artery follows a groove in the skull. Afracture that runs across this groove can pinch or rupture themeningeal artery, either of which MAY lead to death, either quicklyor eventually. "Not always fatal" means it can be fatal.- Naison: A man who lived next door to me died from a strike to thisarea. That's all the information I need.- Philtrum: I agree with you mostly on this one, however it canindirectly cause death either from concrete poisoning or theinhalation of ones own teeth/blood. Since it's not a direct cause ofdeath I'll agree with you here.- Small of back: The backbone may break, although this low downwill probably not cause death in itself. It could, but you're morelikely to win the lottery on Mars. Its like when people talk aboutclavicles piercing aortas - its possible, but not likely.- Coccyx: Again, I get the feeling this wouldn't kill.

Robert Sprawls •

As for the temple shot, it's not so much the arterial damageto be concerned with, but the brain swelling. A lot of peopledie from blunt force trauma to the head due to the brainswelling beyond the limits of the box it's in.

Once on a slide as a kid the bottom of it hit my tail bone,and while I don't remember it being painful I could barelybreathe and was gasping for breath that wouldn't come likenormal. It was fifteen minutes later that I was able tobreathe again. So, the coccyx, I would think if you did it itcould cause respitory arrest like it did me. Lucky I survivedit I suppose. It was the main reason why I have NEVER went down ametal slide ever again, damned thing was thrown awaythankfully never to be used again.

the chokehold is too retarded to know how to fight back. All aperson has to do if they are in a chokehold, is just start elbowingthe person who has got them in the hold in the gut, until the slightlyrelease, and then turn around and start repeatedly punching themin the chest until they finally let go, and then once they do let go,just start wailing on them, until they are down and done. Mostchokeholds are extremely easy to maneuver. And even if youaren't strong enough to break the chokehold by elbowing thebonehead that has you in it, then there are a number of ways tosimply slip out of the hold. The only two types of chokeholds thatare pretty much impossible to escape, unless you're so slim thatyou can literally slip right through, is the regular triangle choke andthe arm triangle choke. Those two, if locked long and constrict theairways effectively enough, are pretty much guaranteed to kill, andthe opponent (more like victim), who is in said choke position, ispretty much fucked, if they actually do know some decent BJJ

applying a hard uppercut to the jaw can kill someone. you mightwreck you hand but it would snap the head back, pinch the spinalcord and definitely leave them unconscious, possibly killing them ifhard enough.

Actually, you can apply a hard 'uppercut' with an open palmwhich will have the same results but your hand won't hurtthat badly.

It is not nearly as easy to snap someone's spine as television and movieswould have you to believe. It's easier to go for the vulnerable areas.Also for all the people whining about this list: theoretically you could kill aperson using these techniques, and there's probably enough historicaland anecdotal evidence of people who've been killed by these variousmeans to cause the pisser's and moaner's to STFU.

fake wannabe tough guy. Who are you trying to convince you jack ass?Notice how you fail to reference a single case where any of your bullshitdeath blows have actually occurred.

Well if you we're to lets use this as an example. Strike the nose of anenemy during a street brawl, or high school brawl and you killed theenemy i doubt you would be put in jail or prison. Due to the fact yourdefending yourself just tell the police you threw a punch and and hit himand the person fell and it was all over. Don't say oh well i karate choppedhis nose and in that case ended up killing him. Anything can really happenin a fight. First you should always try and avoid the confrontation, if youcan't avoid it then take it. Defending yourself is not against the law. I'msure they would say well during the process of defending his self he threwa punch which ended the life of the attacker.

• •

Bob •

Unfortunately, even in a self-defense situation, injuring or killingsomeone in a street fight can (and likely WILL) get you time in jail.

A good friend of mine was mugged, and actually stabbed severaltimes in the chest, before disarming and subsequently beating hisattacker unconscious (not trolling, this actually happened).

He explained to the police what happened, and admitted that hedisarmed his attacker and knocked hm unconscious. Thisadmission was later used as evidence against him, and he (thevictim) was sentenced to time in jail for assault. For defendinghimself against a mugging / attempted murder.

Unless you are filing a complaint or police report for yourself, nevertell the cops anything. "Anything you say can, and WILL, be usedagainst you in a court of law." Let your lawyer do the talking. Thejob of the police is -unfortunately- not to discern the truth, but tofind enough evidence to get a conviction.

Your friend lives in a shit jurisdiction.

because by saying he disarmed him, his life was not indanger any more probably , in the eyes of the court.

Virtually nowhere will put you away for beating an attackerto death. It's a horrible, gut-wrenching experience to gothrough and almost never happens when you meet forcewith your bare hands. One of the many benefits of unarmedcombat is the ability to moderate your response. But, if ithappens, there is a myth that you will be punished forprotecting yourself. This is not true.

Provided you have acted on your own property and felt thatyour life, or the life of another, was threatened then there isnot a court in the land which will convict you of a crime. Tosuggest otherwise is not helpful.

What you do not do is chase down an attacker five blockslater and exact vengeance. That is a crime and rightfully so.

I have no idea about your friend but what you describedwould not happen now. I mean, why would it? Where's thelogic?

enough force. Force instance. If you hit someone in the Nasion withsay..... A thousand ponds of force. Sure that's going to kill them. Andthat's not really Impossible. but its unlikely and most likely going to requirea hard blunt instrument. But to be honest if more then 1/2 of these wheretrue, people would be dropping like flies in Bars, on the street, in boxingrings in Martial arts. As to the point of Piner. Let's address each with thatthough of. (With enough force)

Temple- Ya sure people die from being hit in the Temple all the time. Butthey die because it makes there brain smack against there skull and thenit swells. It's really not much more dangerous then being hit anywhere elsein the head. So ya... With a couple hundred lbs of force you can kill someone.

Nasion / Philtrum- Right so if you could be killed by getting hit in these two
