Do any of you think about or train with incedental strikes in your training programs.
By incedental strike I mean a non-primary strike involved in a standard self defense movement. A few examples off the top of my head, like when you are reaching around the back of a target to secure/lock his head/neck for a head twist takedown or even lets say a headlock you use that incoming forearm to incedentaly strike the attackers neck on the way into the technique.
To render the attacker hopefully "punch-drunk" for the movement. To add a little extra flavour.
Another example might be lets say a looping downward hammerfist is coming at your head, you blade off and capture the hammerfist inbetween your arms which will be followed but by a knee to the nuts. But instead of just absorbing and capturing the incoming strike you incedental strike his arm by grazing his arm with your two palms as you come up to capture.
Other examples are found in rear naked chokes, instead of just wrapping into the choke, you use the your wrist/forearm bone to snap back into the attackers trachea as a strike into the choke, or maybe into a standing side choke you use your incoming forearm to blast his vegas nerve on the way in.
One can think of many different examples.
