Self-Defence Tips

[miq1]

Praise be to Allah (The Glorified and Exalted).


The following are a few self-defence tips, especially to be used by women or children.


1) When someone grabs your forearm and attempts to forcefully drag you away with them, clinch your fist (with the thumb on the outside) and twist your forearm and pull away against the other person's thumb.

For example, if the person grabs your right forearm, then clinch your right fist and then twist and simultaneously pull your forearm away in the direction against the other person's thumb. If his thumb is near your body, then pull inwards toward your body. If his thumb is pointed away from your body, then pull your forearm away from your body against the person's thumb. The logic is that it is easier to resist one thumb rather than four fingers.

2) If a person grabs you and you cannot overpower them, then don't resist and move quickly in the direction of the person and kick them in the groin with your shin, with force.

3) When a woman or child is stalked, grabbed or harassed in public by a man or woman, then yell for help by saying, "Help me, I don't know this person!" It is important to make it clear that you don't know the other person, or else people will think it is a domestic affair between spouses or family members.

I recommend carrying pepper spray or a taser, if you can afford it.

Kay- typing this quickly since i gotta go- and i'm not sure how to quote more than one person lol

But by Common Sense, I mean, skill, reflexes, and comon sense of what you move, when, and if attcking the persons weakest point will help, how to get them off balance, how to get away if their much bigger, where to punch, what will bring them down instanly, and how to get there- as well as calculating their weakness at one point, on an arm, too much weight on one leg, etc.

understand lol!!

As a long term martial artist I will give some advice, Do not pay any attention to any of this, the best way to defend yourself is not to need self defence. Stay out of danfgerous sitiations unless you can defend yourself and by that I mean that you are an experienced martial artist or combat specialist.
Too many peplle read a couple of bits of stff like that and think that they can handle it.

Too many people do not knoww what is is like to be atttacked, and so for the first few secondsthey are in shock, this prevents them fronttaking any defence.

Second carry pepper spray or a taser and you will be introuble with the police - carrying an offensive weapon. They are illegal in this country. Under the offensive weapons act anything you carry can be classed as an offensive weapon unless you can prove you ha ve a good reason for carrying it and it is not designed to hurt people, for instancea rat tailed comb will beclassed as an offensive weapon unless you are a hairdresser or have hair long enough to need one. A large bunch of keys are an offensive weapon unless you have a need for
ALL the keys.

Best way to avoid being dragged off or harrassed is to go limp and thenstart screaming. Very hard to dragged off.
Pay no attention to me if you like, but if you value your life do not read this and think that you can look after yourselves.

Interesting, comment for the UK,

Adams apple - hard target - easy to defend - potentially fatal - be very careful on this or find yourself up for manslaughter at the very least.

Nose same - hard target - easy to defend and you have to get within grabbing distance.

Don't look afraid or vulnerable- excellent advice, practise a confident walk sharks do not prey on strong fish if they can avoid it.

Stop them and head for the cops- excellent advice.

Also stay in well lit areas if possibleand stasyaway from grab sites - alleyways, deep doors or vehicles, if someone needs to ask the way you can answer from six feet as well as from one, and it is easier to be dragged into the passenger door than the drivers door.

If you have an attack alarm - do not waste the charge showing it off to your friends and neighbours or when you come to need it it will be empty or discharged.
One more - have your phone set on speed dial for the police and don't wait too long to hit it.

Don't leat the attackerknow you are afraid
