Being efficient involves targeting the parts of an attacker’s body that allow him to pose a threat to you. He highlights the primary target areas that you should know about. The first includes the muscles and flexor tendons in the forearm that activate and control the fingers. Damaging these will affect your target’s ability to grip his weapon.
