Eye Throat Solar Plexus Groin Knee With emphasis that the associated attacks are only for survival. Run through some common grabs, and the defenses for them. Discuss local laws regarding self defense, appropriate force, legal weapons, etc. Still, one week is a hell of a time-crunch. _________________________ In my walk in the martial way, my hope is that as long as I live, I will always be a beginner.

A trained response requires time.... <<quick principles/techniques to recommend he look into... Spacial perception/logistical threat assessment seem the most beneficial. A week should be enough to explore this as a start anyway... Jeff
