"Well, you're right. Everyone that comes at you will do it in a different way, and may have different reasons too. If someone wants to mug you, they'll be attacking you very differently than a killer would. So preparing for the different ways different people attack different parts of your body... you get the idea, we'd be here forever. We'll keep it simple for now."
Sammy tapped Mark on the forehead to demonstrate her point. "Number one. Don't headbutt people - it's stupid. You keep all your important stuff in there, and if you knock yourself out you're finished. Also, we've got a lot of the vulnerable areas I talked about there too. Thrusting it at your attacker just doesn't make sense, you wouldn't try to hit them with your groin, so don't try and hit them with your head. The only real exception to this is if you don't have any other choice, if your arms and legs are tied up or something."
"Number two," she said, reaching out and tapping his arms, "hit your opponent's upper body with these, and their lower body with their legs. Don't try and kick people in the head - chances are you're not good enough to pull that off. And don't punch people in the kneecap either. The exceptions are if you're in an unusual position - so it's easier to hit their legs with your fists than your feet. Which brings us to number three."
Taking a half step back Sammy stretched her arm out and was just about able to tap Mark on the nose. "From this distance, I can reach your nose, but not your ears. So I would try to strike your nose from where I am, I would not move closer so I can get your ears. Never move closer to your attacker, that's what they want. Remember, fight smart and use the least amount of energy possible, okay? All this stuff is different if you're really good and a black belt or whatever, but when it comes down to an amateur defending themselves these are the rules. Got it?"
