1. What are your favorite areas to strike?
2. Which weapon do you prefer when striking that area?

I like striking the side of the neck with a knife hand, ridge hand, or wrist bone. I also like to strike the solar plexus with a horizontal or vertical fist.

My sis and another person at my school are really good with head kicks. They can both kick over my head easily so they're a pain to spar with.

I'd much rather use an elbow to strike the jaw bone or cheek bone...very effective. I'm not a big fan of high kicks. I like to practice kicking high for flexibility and strength, but focus on low-line kicks. I've seen way too many fights where high kickers have been swept or had their support leg kicked out from under them. I saw a Thai Boxer do that to a TKD guy several times.

Not fond of head-target strikes as a primary attack. One of the nastiest and most immediately debilitating targets are body-shots: Liver/Floating rib, solar plexus, etc. Cant protect one's head when one is bent over/breathless/throwing up.

I agree that head kicks are to slow and to much energy to be effective in a fight. I like a good elbow to the liver or a crane strike to the underneath of the angle of the jaw.

right elbow to the jaw, or hammerfist or knee to the bridge of the nose (in a real fight hammerfist to the back of the head/neck too)

in boxing i love my right hooks to the face. i'm a head guy. i don't go so much for the body unless their gaurd is terrible as relitivly few connect/i leave myself a little more open as i'm throwing it. and unless you get several really good ones its not gonna do more than make him a little uncomfortable.

The greater surface area of boxing gloves does kinda lessen the penetrating power of body hits, in regards to boxing.

ya, unless you have buckets of that natrural power (and that only really comes into play from middleweight and above), the only way your doing real damage to someone in good shape is to get a hook or uppercut in accross or under the floating ribs and that can be diffacult even against very loose opponents. and coming up against a very tight opponent (particullarly if they'v got long arms and a short torso as i do) it become almost impossible.

2 of my friends have been cought like this though (altho one was an mma fight) and had their floating ribs torn off the muscle. (it grows back after a month or so, but there bith left with big hard bumps over their ribs on the left side where it re-attached)

i wouldn't go for the throat unless theres a weapon involved or its greater than 1 on 1. as the legal repracussions can be quite severe

i'll tell the jury and judge straight up if it comes to that.

he wanted to hurt me, i had no idea how badly he wished to hurt me therefore i assumed he was after my life and i defended myself accordingly.

most of the time if it is proven to be self defense, then a jury will let you go, unless you continue after the attacker was effectively taken care of.
but if any one argues i'll ask for a brave volunteer to use minimum required force to stop me, as i try to hurt them, and see how many are willing to take that challenge.

XD your right on that. Minimum required force is not a phrase you'l hear all to often in our class. i might take i moment to consider any actions that are not possibly but probobly lethal. particualy when instructing others to do so. beacause while myself and the other more expierenced fighters will be calm enough to asses the situation, the people we are instructing may not be.

it would be very small spots. Side of neck, cheek bone, jaw. Maybe the bone by your pointing finger, a two finger strike or a four finger strike...the jaw would probably be my hand heel knuckle.

Sounds like a good way to break your fingers. Digits and knuckles are surprisingly fragile. Even conditioned hands take alot of damage impacting bone. Hence the predisposition towards open-handed blows to hard bone, and closed fist strikes to soft tissue in many martial arts. At least in bare fist 'contests'. Gloves tend to make these issues moot.
