Chapter 5: Basic Self Protection Everyone Needs to Know

These self-defence moves have been adapted from different martial arts styles. Most of them assume a stronger opponent and taking advantage of a person’s disadvantaged physicality.

When someone gives you a Bear Hug or when someone grabs you from behind with both arms in a big, albeit in affectionate, hug, try to rotate your body to face him front on. Then, you can proceed to strike at him from that position. If that is not possible, you can still attack him from your current hold. Because your bodies are aligned with one another, you can stomp at his feet and snap back his fingers. You can also use your elbow to hit him in the head, or if you feel confident enough, hit him back with your own head.

If your assailant has you lying on the floor with him on top, pinning you to the ground, then you can try to switch places with him. Grab one of his arms by hooking on to it with both of your arms at the wrist and the elbow. Then, similarly hook on to one of his legs with your own legs, trapping him before rotating your body to get on top. From here, deliver a few blows to his face.

Attackers might grab you by the wrist. As with the previous moves, you must not be afraid to get closer to your attacker. While he is grabbing your wrist, lean forward in a squat position while bending your elbows toward your opponent. He will have to let go if he can no longer hold on to you. This is now your chance to escape.

If he has you in a choke hold, do not attempt to pull out of it because he might just make his grip tighter. Instead, pry his fingers off your neck. Pull back each one of his fingers so that he will release his hold on you.

Aside from self-defence moves, it is also important to know some common sense self-protection tricks that will serve you well in given situations. For instance, if your hands are bound, you can try to get your hands freed by stacking them one on top of the other. This works if your hands were bound side by side. So, you get some room to wiggle and get out of the binds. If you were bound from behind, you can try to swing your arms from underneath your buttocks and pass your legs through until your hands are in front of you.

When being attacked inside your own home, it is best to run straight to the kitchen. The kitchen has a lot of objects that can be used as weapons like knives and plates. Throwing a lot of kitchen items around would cause a lot of noise. The good thing about this scenario is that this is your home and your attack does not know where everything is. It is ideal that you get to the dangerous objects first before he does.
