The Hammer Strike
Make a fist and bring it down like a hammer on an attacker's head. Keep your hips level and your knees bent a bit for a stronger stance and better balance. Don't swing your arm windmill-style because an assailant might have time to block the strike or move out the way. Also, this move can be done with a key protruding from the bottom of your fist for added damage.
Elbow Strike
You can execute this strike from several positions, either swinging your elbow forward or sweeping it back. Bend the arm at the elbow and aim for the neck, chin, jaw, or cheek.
