You can't find this training anywhere else.\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>When Is This Useful?<\/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\/2012\/06\/step-1.jpg\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nThe primary purpose of this technique is to help deal with a self-defense situation where there are multiple attackers coming at you. In this type of situation your best bet is to deal with each attacker individually. To do this, you need to be able to break the group of attackers up.\n\nThis wedge technique allows you to move past one or more attackers quickly so you can disrupt their plans and deal with whichever one you want first or blow past all the attackers and escape to safety. Every self-defense situation is different, so it is up to you to know which route is the best to take in the heat of the moment.\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>Breaking It Down<\/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\/2012\/06\/step-2.jpg\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nAlright, so now that you know what situations to use this in, let's break it down. This simple, two-step technique is goes as follows:\n<ul class=\"blog-lists\">\n \t<li>Drive through the person. Don't just run up to them and push their shoulder. Run through them while pushing. Targeting the shoulder is important. If you target their core you're simply tackling them (which is exactly the opposite of what you want). Targeting their shoulder causes them to rotate around their center of gravity, allowing you to pass by them while they are thrown off balance.<\/li>\n \t<li>Plan on using this move on the attacker's left shoulder (your right side). About 85% of people are right handed and nearly all untrained fighters will try to strike first with a wide right haymaker. Moving to your right (his left) makes it difficult for him to land his punch. You can even circle to your right before you drive past him with the wedge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDon't worry if you happen to come across a lefty or your attacker throws a left punch, this fight move will still work. In fact, it will cause a lot more damage to the shoulder joint and by striking the shoulder of his punching arm, you will take all the power out of his punch.\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>A Quick Reminder<\/h4>\nIn case it wasn't clear in the video, you should always use heavy padding when practicing this technique. If you don't have access to full body pads have a partner stand behind a heavy bag. Never practice this technique on someone without some sort of padding, the shoulder is a sensitive joint which is easily damaged.\n<p id=\"read-more-link\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/ar\/CB-k.php?utm_campaign=ChristopheWedgeTechnique&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=0D4E9E9F&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">Click here for more training by Christophe Clugston!<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wedge Technique This self-defense technique is so effective because it utilizes simple full-body movements and requires no fine motor skills.
