These self-defense tips are for women: Stay calm and assertive; avoid leaving the first location; use a heel-palm striking to disarm attackers. These tips will help protect you and your loved ones if nothing else works. Here are some of the most common techniques you may encounter during an attack. These techniques are useful in many situations. However, they may not be suitable in all situations.
Get away as soon possible
If she has been assaulted, she must know how to get away. Most cases will see her on the floor. While she can't use a gun, she can strike her attacker with a blunt object. A heel-palm strike and an eye strike are both viable options. For women's self-defense, it is essential to run away as quickly and efficiently as possible. You can also use pepper spray and a whistle to help you escape.
Staying calm and assertive
Being assertive can help increase your confidence. You need to be aware of signs that you might be attacked. Your breathing is a sign of your emotions so practice your posture. When you're in an uncomfortable situation, it is important to keep your breathing steady for at least four to eight count. This will allow you to remain calm and assertive when your attacker becomes aggressive. It is important to not react the same as your attacker.
Use a heel striker to help you keep your feet on the ground
The palm heel strike can be used to deliver a range of weapons. The entire body can be used to deliver the palm heel strike to the attacker's nostrils. This includes your feet, hips, shoulders and chest. If you're left-handed, your right hand should be used to strike, but if that is not possible, your right hand should be raised and away from your attacker.
Using an eye strike
While the eye strike can be life-saving in a legitimate self-defense situation, it is also difficult to execute safely in a partner situation. Here are some tips on how to safely execute an eye strike in a partnership situation. The best way to learn this technique is to have it taught by a professional instructor. Start the attack by using a strong fist. To strike the target, you will need to bring your hand down.
Use a yell to replace "Help!" Use a yell instead of "Help!" or "Rape!"
Recent South China Morning Post articles show that Thai women are fighting sex assaults with their fists, and taking self-defense classes. The author describes various methods of incapacitating and stunning a rapist and 'fragile' friend. Although these articles may make for good marketing for self-defense instructors, they are utterly flawed.
