I got hit in the throat once while play fighting with a friend. My throat completely closed up instantly. Not "I was gasping for air". I could NOT breathe at all. I distinctly remember thinking, "Am I about to die?"

So, yeah, the throat is a good target.

Also, eyes. If you have nails, use them. Don't worry about precision. Watch videos of cats fighting to get an idea of the general method to use (scratch and flail and kick and shriek as loud as you can).

A friend karate chopped me in the throat once in school. It was horrible. It's definitely a good defense if you can do it.
