FEMALES by Honestly
I
learned in a YMCA self-defense for women class
several years ago:
1)
If grabbed from behind, take a deep breath and
don't freeze up - this will surprise the attacker
and he may loosen his grip.
2)
If grabbed from behind, put your chin to your
chest and throw your head back hard to either
knock the wind out of him or smash his nose or
throat depending on the height of you and the
attacker. Use your elbows as weapons.
3)
If face to face, knee to groin first. Then take
the sole of your hand and smash their nose upwards
and in as hard as you can. The instructor said
this can actually kill someone. If keys aren't
handy, two fingers in the eyes may help you get
away.
4)
If attacked from the side, kick the knee and run
your shoe down their shin as hard as you can.
Stomp as hard as you can on the top of their foot.
5)
A purse can be a lethal weapon if swung really
hard.
You've
got one chance to get away, so give it all you've
got.

I
posted a link at #481. Do a site search for Impact
Kerambit. It's only $9. But I would recommend
the video that you can also get. Maybe another
$12.
My
dad sent me a safety tips for women kind of article
a while back and it says the elbow is the strongest
bone in the body....use it!

"What
to do if approached from behind "
I
was taught for starters to jab into the person
with elbow(other hand over fist pushing back)followed
by a kick straight back (with high heels of course)
and then slam down on the instep. Do this as rapid
and as forcefully as you can.

To
drop someone, you want to kick the knee sideways,
because it only takes about 12 lbs or so to tear
the ligament that holds it all together.
(The front-back connections are very strong, but
the sideways ligaments are apparently very weak,
not designed to withstand much trouble.)

A
sharp blow to the point of the nose with the palm
of the hand also works well. There are nerve bundles
between the shoulder joint and base of the neck,
which if struck firmly will cause temporary paralysis.
There
are also nerve bundles on the mound of the forearm
just below the elbow that if struck firmly will
temporarily immobilize the arm.
The
top of the foot near the leg bone is also a painfull
spot.
One
of the best carry on weapons is a belt with a
heavy metal buckle.
Always
carry a sharp pen and a key ring so that the ring
fits into your palm when you make a fist and the
longest key sticks out between your index and
middle finger.
The
key is to focus and to size up your potential
opponent before you have to act so that you have
a plan of attack if the need arises.

1)
Always carry a rat-tail comb, and keep it close
at hand. Use it to gouge out an attackers eyes.
Dont be squeamish-they wont be, and its better
than being dead. The attacker cannot hurt you
if they cannot see you.
2)
Wind your keys in your fingers, and use them to
hit the person in the face around the eyes. If
they cant see you, they cant hurt you.
3)
A kick to the groin is cliche. Most men expect
it to come and shield for it instinctively. Kick
for the knees instead, and aim the kick to knock
the knee backwards for maximum injury effect.
If they cant walk, they cant chase you and hurt
you.
4)
If you are grabbed from behind, reach down there
and grab a handful of groin ( I wont name it,
but you know what I am referring to). Twist that
thing right off if you have to. Use maximum force
and twist your hand while you pull. They cant
rape if they cant use it.
5)
Drive your heels into their shins as hard as you
can while you do the "vending machine pull"
on the groin. That will make them involuntarily
throw up, hopefully.
6)
If they are close enough to grab you, you have
the upper hand because you can react before they
act ( if you are prepared). If they are two arm
lengths away, you do not have the advantage. Always
draw them in close to hurt them, and act quickly.
*
Use a tube sock and put either a bar of soap or
something else with a little oomph into it. Then
beat the snot out of the terrorist.
Criminals
use this little trick all the time in jails te
even scores.
Some
of them end up in critical condition from sock/soap
attacks. |
