Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Punch them in the solar plexus with your fist or the base of your palm. Strike their armpit with the side of your open hand. Chop or poke their neck above the collarbone. Knee a man in the groin, or squeeze his testicles. Slap their ear forcefully with a cupped hand. Kick the side of their kneecap as hard as you can. Drive the base of your palm into the underside of their nose. Poke them in the eyes with your fingers. Strike their windpipe with your fist, palm, hand, or elbow.

Answer: Close your hand into a fist or keep it open and lead with the base of your palm. Quickly and forcefully strike your attacker in the soft spot just below their sternum (breastbone).  This move will most likely knock the wind out of your attacker, especially if they don’t tense their abdominal muscles beforehand. Turn and run away while they are temporarily disabled. Like all the single-move strikes described here, the goal is to stun your attacker long enough so that you can flee. Follow up with additional strikes only if you cannot run away. If your attacker raises up one of their arms, chop as hard as you can at their exposed armpit. Use the side of your hand below the pinky. This will cause their arm to go numb temporarily, and also causes quite a bit of short-term pain.  Depending on your positioning, you could also drive your elbow into their exposed armpit. You must strike as hard as you can for this to be effective. Aim at the base of their neck, just above the collarbone and to one side of the windpipe. Strike them with the side of your open hand, just below your pinky.  This strike is always painful, and it may cause them to lose their breath or—if you hit their carotid artery forcefully—lose consciousness. If you’re unable to produce a full strike, even poking the area forcefully with your fingertips may stun your attacker. Drive your knee as hard as you can between a male attacker’s legs. Your goal is to crush their testicles with your kneecap. Run away while they are stunned.  Don’t kick with your foot, since your attacker may be able to grab your leg and knock you down. A knee strike is much quicker and harder to defend, especially if you are close to your attacker. If you can’t use your knee, squeeze your attacker’s testicles as hard as you can with your hand, then run. A knee to the groin may work on a female attacker as well. Cup your hand slightly and strike your attacker in the side of their head, right over their ear. In addition to the pain it causes, this strike may rupture their eardrum, causing additional pain and disorientation.  You’re more likely to rupture their eardrum if they have their mouth open when you strike. You can use both your hands to strike both their ears at the same time. Kick quickly but forcefully so that the inner side of your foot, just below your ankle, strikes just to the outside of one of their kneecaps. Your goal is to buckle their knee and render them unable to follow as you run away.  It’s quite possible that you’ll rupture the ligaments in their knee with this move, so only use it on an attacker. But when you must use it, strike with all your might. If you can’t kick the side of their knee, a stomping kick with the bottom of your foot to the front of their kneecap may also buckle their knee. Aim the base of your palm at their nostrils and strike as hard as you can in an upward motion. You’ll probably break their nose, causing searing pain, lots of bleeding, and watering eyes that will cloud their vision.  Depending on your positioning, driving your elbow or knee into their nose this way can also produce the same effect. Done forcefully enough, it is possible for this move to do catastrophic, and potentially fatal, damage. Extend your first two fingers and stab at their eyes like you’re one of the Three Stooges, but attack seriously and with all your might. Alternatively, focus your attack on one eye with your finger or thumb.  Don’t be squeamish or hesitant when you’re being attacked. Drive your fingers into their eye sockets. If they can’t see you, they can’t attack you. It’s possible you’ll cause permanent eye damage, but it was their choice to attack you. Even if they’re able to raise their hand to block your eye attack, that will give you a window of opportunity to either turn and run or to use a second attack (like a knee to the groin). The windpipe is one of the most fragile and vulnerable spots on the human body. Any direct, forceful blow will leave your attacker unable to breathe, and a blow that crushes their windpipe can be fatal.  If your attacker has an Adam’s apple, aim directly for it. Squeezing an attacker’s windpipe forcefully enough between your fingers and thumb can also temporarily (or even permanently) crush it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spot the fly. Consider your surrounding. Track the fly. Plan your strike. Swat the fly. Sanitize your environment.

Answer:
Just because you hear a buzzing sound doesn’t mean that it’s a fly roaming around you. Beware of bees and wasps. You shouldn’t kill these bugs because they are important for the environment and can sting you. Also beware of a horse fly. A horse fly is larger than an average house fly and can bite. Once you’ve identified the fly, take a survey of your environment and the supplies nearby. If you have a counter nearby, you can use it as a hard surface to squash the bug on. If you’re going to catch this fly with your bare hands, you’ll need to be able to follow the bug with your eyes. When flies are indoors they usually try to escape and are tricked by windows. This is where they’ll usually be unless there is rotting food nearby. After following the fly’s behaviour and where it is spending its time, prepare to strike. Consider before killing the fly if there is an alternative to ridding the fly from your personal space. Outline the perimeter of the fly with your eyes. Move slowly to a place you’ll have the leverage to strike. Once you’ve positioned yourself close enough to the fly, it’s time to kill. Make sure both your hands are free. Take a quick jab at the fly. The aim is to wedge the hard surface the fly is resting on with your palm. Have your other hand ready to go if you miss the fly. This way you can slam the other hand onto the fly in a flash. If you are successful in killing the fly, you need to wash your hands thoroughly. Use antibacterial soap for the most efficient wash. Dispose of the fly in a napkin into the trash. Wash the smudge off the wall as needed.
