Effective Self Defense Techniques

women are attacked more often and more
violently than any other group hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today Gorge Manoli
will be showing me how to fight back as
a woman what should we consider to avoid
being attacked certainly the message you
send out while you’re walking somebody
who’s aware of their surroundings
knowing where they’re going in
comparison to somebody who looks lost
who looks like an easy target because
don’t forget self-defense is certainly
not all physical
a majority of it is attitude how
realistic is it to consider that a woman
can defend herself against a man who’s
presumably bigger than her everybody no
matter who you are how small how we each
one of us has is volcano in us if you
are in that mindset where you mess with
me you’re gonna pay a price it really
makes no difference your size your
strength can you just outline some
common scenarios that a woman might
encounter and that you might teach in a
self-defense course we have scenarios
where we actually go on a date rate
where I try to force myself upon them
then we do stuff like the majority of
times standing up the guy taxi wants to
bring you into his car then we do stuff
on the ground where we’re standing
brought to the floor and what to do when
the guy has you on the ground trying to
spread the legs didn’t we also take the
students outside because you know
fighting in a sweat suit is wonderful
but what happens if you have a coat on
and gloves and boots so we try to make
it as around the person’s natural
environment as possible in a course
setting so we’re gonna have the honor
and pleasure of attacking you that
should be lots of fun you need to
consider several things number one is
once you decide to go you gotta go
you can’t hit and then say I’m so sorry
let’s go for coffee
also when you’re hitting you need to
yell no no no no beautiful because
yelling of course is gonna attract
attention but most importantly it’s
gonna oblige you to breathe next when
you decide to hit hit areas that are
gonna hurt subito pronto we want to go
around here and we want to go around
here so the first one we’re gonna try
very simple technique using the open
hand
okay so using the healing hand we are
going to go from the shoulder out
towards the person’s nose no no good
second one that we’re gonna go for is
the family jewels now here we’re gonna
be using the muscle above the knee no no
third one we’re gonna show you is known
as an icepick so now what you’re gonna
do is you’re all bows are gonna go up to
the sky you’re gonna make a fist and
you’re gonna come down on the person’s
nose no no good
so the fourth technique we’re gonna be
learning is more applicable on a body on
body kind of situation or as soon as you
have a hand that’s free this is known as
a testicle crush it’s a very effective
technique because as soon as you have a
free hand boom we go for the two scoops
of raisins one two strikes then we grab
squash twist and pull so if I was to
practice with you we would take the hand
here so it’d be one two are you okay
put any grab squash and upwards in this
fashion here would be the way to apply
this technique
