Can you subdue an attacker if you hit both of their ears at the same time?

Answer 1

You could potentially subdue an attacker this way, however it isn't the easiest way to do it. Without specific training, attempting it could put you in greater jeopardy. The best course of action when confronted by an unarmed attacker is to run, get away. If your attacker is armed, talk to him and try to get him to talk to you. If you cannot escape, and there is no other option but to engage in physical contact, focus on the three most sensitive points: eyes and face, groin, and instep. If you are unable to attack any of these points, the joining of muscle groups and joints are sensitive to direct pressure. Dig your thumbs in and hold on; don't let go until your attacker weeps like a small child.

Of course, the best solution here is to avoid situations where you will be attacked

Answer 2

Hitting both ears simultaneously may disorient an attacker temporarily, but it will not necessarily subdue them. It is more effective to target vulnerable areas like the eyes, throat, or groin to incapacitate an attacker. Remember, self-defense should be used as a last resort and prioritizing escape is the best option.
