Technique of the Day. Today I will tell you about the Ear Concussive Blow. For all who dont know, we have an external ear, middle ear and inner ear. Between the external and middle ear are the eardrums medically known as the Tympanic Membrane, which is a very, very thin wall of tissue. The middle ear consists of 3 bones called Ossicles, they have names but this isnt entirely a biology lesson. I will teach you how to rupture the ear drums and break the ossicles with a very easy technique. If you were to lay the inner parts of your hands flat on your ears and squeeze in then gently remove it causing suction you will get minor discomfort. I will teach you how to reverse the effect, or push air in. This technique can be executed if you are grabbed from behind, if you are approached from the front or my favorite, if you are attacking someone from behind. Now to execution of the technique. There are 2 ways you can ready your hands for the attack, either by cupping them or having them flat and even. I recommend flat and even since a cupped hand has gaps between the fingers where air can escape. We dont want the air to escape we want all to be forced into the ear. You may be wondering where youll be getting air from if your palms are flat, its easy. We will use the air thats already there in the ear auricle and auditory canal. For simplicitys sake we will defend against an assailant from the front. If you are grabbed or being choked from the front raise both arms up and out to the side with your palms flat and even as possible and facing forward. Swing them in striking both ears simultaneously and with as much force as possible, if your assailant continues to hold you strike the same area again. In the very unlikely event that that you are still being held, clasp your hands in front of your face as if praying, keep your elbows down and quickly turn to the left or right 90 degrees. He/she would be forced to release you having already been weakened and due to the fact that their arms can only bend so much in that position. Immediately run and shout for help. As i mention before, always maintain being the victim even though you won the encounter.
