If you are truly trying to master the art of self defense, then you must be able to use anything as a weapon. This article discusses several ways that you can use your keys as a tool for self protection.
But, first-things-first - you must begin by avoiding or ignoring the dangerous strategy of placing the keys between your fingers! I've discussed this in other articles, but suffice it say for our purposes here that, whoever came up with this logic, was never in a real fight where he had to attempt to use his own strategy!
There are, however, several simple but highly effective tactics where your keys can be used to control the fight and/or cause a significant amount of damage. The following 4 strategies are offered as a means of helping you to expand, not only the number of techniques in your skill set, but to assist you in developing the advanced skill of strategic thinking.
1) Stabbing and slashing. Instead of trying to fight with, and get your keys between your fingers under the pressure and stress of an attack, simply hold a single key the same way you would to use it in a lock. This really is the most natural, and therefor the strongest grip.
From here, the stabbing, ripping, and scraping/cutting damage you create will be much more powerful and debilitating than with the key sliding around between your fingers and digging into the webbing of your hand with each stroke!
2) Distracting. Using this strategy, you can do everything from showing the keys and threatening to throw them at him, to simply dropping them to draw his attention away from what he was doing. The key is to do something that opens a hole in his defenses so that you can enter.
3) "Sight-Removing." This involves tossing the keys into his face to shut down his vision. He will either close his eyes, or turn away momentarily to protect himself from the pieces of metal bouncing off of his face! You can then, as in the "distracting" strategy above, take advantage of his momentary disability, and either attack or escape to safety.
4) Flailing, Regardless of whether your keys are on a single ring, or attached to something else - like a Kubotan, self defense keychain - you can wait until he is close enough before flailing the keys at the sensitive areas of his face, neck, and exposed skin areas.
The key to success with weapons is to be able to use them in ways that the opponent has never seen before. While this makes your training more challenging, just keep in mind that, if you try anything that you assailant has seen and prepared for, you will have a more difficult time defeating him. As the saying goes, "If it's easily thought of, he's thought of it too."
