Womens Self Defense suggests that punching your attacker in the eye with your key is the best way to deal with a self-defense situation. I, on the other hand, suggest that making someone whos already bigger and stronger than you only partially blind, in severe pain, and incredibly angry is the best way to ensure that your attacker wont remember that he didnt actually want to throttle you to death until hes already throttled you to death. Even though I teach Aikido (part of the class, at least. Sensei teaches the rest) and Aikido has no purely striking techniques, I still suggest punching your attacker in the throat. Everybody reading this has the strength to punch a fully grown man in the throat with enough force to render him unable to breathe. Human self-preservation instincts pretty much prevent you from doing anything else while you cant breathe besides trying to make it so that you can. Its the same reason you cant kill yourself by holding your breath or kill yourself by holding your head underwater if you can simply pull your head back up. Key punch = no Throat punch = yes.
