This is great advice for two reasons:\n<ol class=\"blog-lists\">\n \t<li>Watching the throat gives you a better view of the entire person.<\/li>\n \t<li>Avoiding eye contact gives you a psychological advantage because it helps you remove emotion from the conflict and eliminates an attacker's ability to distract you with his eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Breaking It Down<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-4 columns right align-to-p img\">\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfastvideos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/head-torque.jpg\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nNow for the meat of this self-defense move. To start, this tackle defense is meant to be used on a guy who is already standing in front of you. It's not meant to stop a bull rush or a running tackle.\n<ol class=\"blog-lists\">\n \t<li>If an attacker is in front of you and drops down to grab one or both of your legs, your first move should be to step backwards, lowering your center of gravity. This gives you more stability.<\/li>\n \t<li>Next, you want to put one hand on the crown of your attacker's head while your drive your other palm forward into his face. Driving your hand forward into his face will usually stop his forward momentum, but it also serves another purpose.<\/li>\n \t<li>Once you make contact with his face you will have both hands on opposite sides of his skull. This allows you to easily manipulate his body. Using his chin as a handle, you can torque his head to the left or right which will force his body to follow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>Wrapping Up<\/h4>\nOnce you've gained control of his head, there are a number of self-defense moves you can use to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/nbcv\/BFE\/bfe-k.php?utm_campaign=BFE&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=JacovTackleStopper_10-25-12&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">quickly end the fight<\/a>.
