Congrats for your video I really liked it, these are simple techniques that not require much training and if an amateur person like me sees this video can actually try to use this in a street fight or can even practice these techniques wtih the wall or any object, I would like to know ¿what martial arts or self defense system do you practice? or ¿where did you learn these techniques?

I used to take your view on striking: fist and elbow strikes were directed towards "soft" targets, preventing injury. However, there's one problem with that: there are no guaranteed "soft targets." Concealed weapons (which could literally be anywhere) or even things like a cell phone in a case (e.g., a knee strike to the groin could strike this if they shifted, due to their pockets being right there) would make a soft target (the groin, the stomach, etc.) into a hard one. This is why I only use protected parts of my body (palm, edge of hand, sole of foot due to shoes) for striking.
Dear Sir, excellent intro into empty hand combat with remarkable insights. However, you are too close, a beginner seldom can take actual defence actions!They should use greater distance first in a stance of your partner. Not telegraphing fighting skills and by mirroring his legs and hand positions, having a chance to check primary attacks either by kicks or hits. Then it comes the rest of the video.

Fist and Elbow strikes need to go to the face and finish the fight. What kind of shit is elbowing someone in the arm? If you are well trained at punching your knuckles can damage someones face without hurting your knuckles. 1 elbow to the face equals KO
Thanks for stopping by Aidan. You hit the nail on the head when you said "If you are well trained". These are very basic empty hand techniques designed with beginners in mind and should be used a starting point. There are a lot of factors that go into real world fights and not all of them are controllable but most can be mitigated with proper training and technique.
