Model Mugging sometimes known as Impact
The techniques taught are simple to learn and effective to use, often focussing on devastating and highly aggressive strikes to the throat and groin. This art form has growing popularity in America and Europe. It is taught by differing organisations on a profit and non-profit basis.
Role play and scenarios are used to highlight sociological, psychological and physiological aspects of the art and examination of police records and case studies are encouraged to highlight the reality of situations in which women may find themselves. Role play also plays a part in helping students to emotionally charge their fighting techniques, creating an adrenalized state of mind and body similar to that in which real combat takes place.
Although often overlooked in martial arts systems, learning to defend oneself verbally can create a psychological advantage should the situation deteriorate into a physical fight as it emboldens the verbal victor, psychologically increasing the chances of success. These tactics are also commonly used by boxers wishing to gain the psychological edge by intimidating their opponents.
