MrMoyer,
With all due respect that is far fetched scenario to say the least. How many times have you seen people elbowed in the head in nhb competitions? Lots! Who has died?

Rayachick,
Good on you,but what would you have done if he didn't just walk away? What if he elbowed you back or worse?

A lady at work has pinched me inappropriately before,should I have elbowed her?

Yeah, I know it is a lil far fetched, but the possiblity is still here. Or, how about the situation where a someone punches another person they fall hit their hit and lights out (dead). Again, these are things I worry about, and the possibilty is great, but still there.

Good point about what if the guy didn't walk away. Just so many things to take into consideration which is why I stay out of the clubs.

R, good for you.

the first thing that came into my mind is this - how hard did you elbow him in the face? I don't want to be insulting, but if you elbowed him in the face with everything you have, and he wasn't pretty badly hurt, you should take that into consideration when planning the way you fight. an elbow to the face is going to be one of your most powerful tools, so take that as a yardstick for how much power you can generate with your other weapons.

No, you shouldn't elbow her. A pinch only warrants a palm-heel strike to the jaw

Reading thru this was quite interesting. I must say yes Krav does teach a lot of different things you can do to get away from someone attacking you.

We also put on a Rape Prevention seminar for free here. It is for Women and Children only (sans the instructors which are a mix of Male and Females paired of). It covers things that are not in Krav. It uses the Krav Principles but goes over things that a typical rapist would try or do. If that makes sense. Some of its the same some of it is completely new.
