Striking the ears with cupped hand(s) is one of the first techniques I taught my daughters. Simple to do, good distraction to confuse or disorient so you can inflict serious trauma to other targets! It hurts like hell and can cause permanent hearing loss. It's not a fight ender but it's a good start! Depending on the situation it will move his hands up or out so you can kick the groin while he's stunned from his broken ear drum(s). I emphasize multiple attacks in quick succession and rapid follow ups to every attack. He won't soon forget about the bitch slap that made him deaf or ruptured his ear drum(s) unless you give him a serious concussion too...

Bleeding from the ears is not necessarily a death blow but trauma is trauma. I like it. Right up there with hair pulling and eye gouges...
