Surviving violent attacks is challenging. We usually talk about different situations so that you can understand what happens in real-life situations, and what you can do to defend yourself.

No one wants to be in a situation where he or she has to fight to save his/her life. When someone attacks you, he will not just touch you, he will grab you tight, pull you and hit you. It is a violent attack.

To defend yourself, if you do something but that does not work, forget that. Learn something that works and save your life when you are in a situation like that. As Bruce Lee said,

“Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own”

Let's watch this video to see what really happens. All video credit goes to Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos.

The attacker will not grab your hair and stand there doing nothing so that you can defend yourself. When the attacker grabs your hair, he might take you somewhere or pull you and put you in a more vulnerable position. You can feel how dangerous this can be.

Doing any techniques and getting on the ground from standing position is not a good idea. When you are on the ground, you are limiting yourself. And the attacker gets the opportunity to attack you more or do whatever he wants. So do not get him a chance.

As soon as the attacker grabs your hair and pull, you will normally go towards him. You can attack him right away. But getting control of your body is so important that you cannot ignore it. To stop the attacker and get control of the situation, you can grab the attacker's hand. Then you can counter-attack.

So what would you do in this situation? Please feel free to leave your comment below.

Stay safe. Always be happy!
