In the video above Demi Barbito teaches you how easy it is to work the backfist into other brutal self defense moves making the combo even more devastating.<!--more-->\n<div class=\"flex-video\">\n<iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OPoihl7bKMw?&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0\" width=\"540\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\nAs you know one of the biggest secrets to dominating any street fight is creating a constant barrage of strikes to overwhelm your attacker. The backfist is perfect for this strategy.\n\nAs Demi explains in the video, the backfist is not a great lead off move when you are in punching range, but when added onto the end of another technique it quickly adds insult to injury, allowing you to add in another painful technique in a split second.\n<div style=\"width: 250px; height: 145px; padding: 5px; float: right;\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2250\" src=\"http:\/\/fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/backfist-pt1.png\" alt=\"The Backfist groin strike\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nRemember not every strike needs to be a finisher, it's about the totality of strikes. A quick backfist to the nose or groin does not take a lot of strength or agility. Its simply a quick flick of the arm driving your knuckles into a soft sensitive target. It'll keep his mind on the pain allowing you to follow up with more strikes.\n\nNow for that nasty little tip at the end of video the, driving your thumb into an attacker eye socket. Two things to remember on this one, first you may destroy someones eye when you use this so it's only for a real life and death situation.\n\nSecond, be sure to tuck your thumb into your hand, it's not a \"thumbs up\" motion. You don't want to break your own thumb, and you don't want or need to drive your whole thumb into his eye socket, just the tip will do the trick.\n<div style=\"width: 250px; height: 145px; padding: 5px; float: right;\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2251\" src=\"http:\/\/fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/backfist-pt2.png\" alt=\"The Backfist groin strike can lead into an eye gouge\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nThis nasty technique will most likely take the fight right out of an attacker, but be sure to follow it up with something else, there are no guarantees in a street fight.\n\nFor more simple, easy to learn close quarters fight moves from Demi Barbito check out his <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/ar\/XC-k.php\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Extreme Close Quarters\" fighting system<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/strong> You'll be glad you did.
