By inside I mean getting close enough to your attacker that the stick is of little or no value to him.\n\nThis may sound very simple, but getting in that close can often be a difficult task.\n\nIn order to get inside, you must understand which targets on your body are dangerously weak against blunt weapons. These targets mostly consist of the bony parts of the body \u2014 the skull, shoulders, knees, elbows, ribs, shins, tops of the arms, etc.\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>Defending Yourself Against Blunt Weapons<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-3 columns right align-to-p img\">\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfastvideos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/step-2.jpg\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nUnlike defending against a knife where the inside of the arms is one of the most dangerous places to get cut, you actually want to block a club or bat with the soft tissue on the inside of your arms (if you have to).\n\nThe bat will cause much less damage to this part of the body. It will obviously still hurt and leave a nasty bruise, but it won't break your arm. <a href=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/nbcv\/FT-2\/ntbt-k.php?utm_campaign=52BLK&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=BobClubDisarm_12-16-11&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">One good block<\/a> and you will be able to close the distance between you and the assailant, eliminating the danger of the bat without ever disarming it.\n\nNow, of course you should avoid taking any shots from a club or bat if you can help it, but if you <em>have<\/em> to block or take a shot, use the soft parts of your arm and make sure you don't try to block the club or bat at the \"sweet spot\". Try to block as close to the handle as possible. Your other option is to simply redirect a blow and get inside that way.\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-10 medium-centered large-6 large-centered columns\">\n\t[dfads params='groups=290&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']<\/div>\n<h4>Final Thoughts<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-3 columns right align-to-p img\">\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfastvideos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/step-3.jpg\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nAs with any self-defense situation where an attacker has a weapon, your first and best option is to flee.

Even if you disarm and beat your attacker, you will still likely have some bruises or cuts.\n\nThis technique is designed for situations where you cannot leave the scene without a fight (where you are trapped, must protect family, friends, or bystanders, etc).
