Women's Self Defense Against Men

A lady friend asked me the other day about women's self defense against men. I showed her a couple of Aikido techniques, but she stopped me. She said, "These locks take time to learn... Give me a womens self defense technique that's quick and dirty".

So we spent some time experimenting with a few grabs, releases and holds for women's self defense against men.

We all know the first thing in self defense ... women kick a guy in the groin. But most men expect you to try this, so your chances aren't the best.

 

Dirty Fighting

The man has has more strength, almost always. Pit your strength against his strength, and you will lose. But he'll enjoy the unfair 'contest', and it will add to his pleasure when he rapes or hurts you. So, whatever you do, you've got to be effective.

Your first line of defense should be to verbally aggressive; face him and shout, "Keep Back!" (You do this nice and loud for the benefit of any witnesses.)

If this doesn't work, let your fear turn to anger... Your adreneline to inner strength.
