There are not many people that leave the house during the day or at night that intend to get into a street fight. There are some that do but those people are few and far between as the average Joe has no intentions of getting into a physical altercation…EVER.

Even more rare are the life threatening or life changing situations where a person may have to defend themselves because their life is quite literally at risk and to make matters worse the attacker may have a weapon, may have set a trap, or there may even be multiple attackers.

There are those instances when this happens and what happens when you are in a situation that absolutely requires you to fight and there is no way of avoiding the physical altercation?

Well, neither www.mixedmartialarts.com nor myself promote street fighting or physical acts of violence in any form or fashion but there are those occasions that arise which simply require that you defend yourself or you may in fact be in grave danger…

Fred Mastro from Funker Tactical Fight Systems is an expert in self-defense and has developed a maneuver that is the complete package: simple, effective, and quick. This technique is what he has named The Mastro Handshake but is not a handshake at all.

Here is Fred’s description of the technique shown in the video below: This fight ender was initially developed for bouncers who often engage from neutral positions. The shock from the initial strike disorients your subject immediately for appropriate follow-up controls.

So check out the video below and learn how to expertly execute the Mastro Handshake.
