Are you a student?
If you are a student, teacher, employee, entrepreneur, doctor or whatever you do, you can learn some self defense that can help you in different situations like grabbing your throat from behind, wrist grab, hair grab, and so on.
When you are aware of your surroundings, it always helps you protect yourself. Sometimes attackers might make some plans before. You are walking and someone attacks you out of nowhere. If someone grabs your throat from behind, what would you do?
Let's watch this video and talk about it in context. This is not my video and all video credit goes to Nick Drossos.
If someone follows you and you realize that, you can take action immediately to get out of there. To learn more about this, you can read this post - What To Do If Someone Follows You - Self Defense Tips.
In case you have no idea that someone is following you and that guy gets close and grabs your throat from behind. As soon as he grabs your throat, you can feel and see that. So what would you do?
Run. Well, he has already grabbed you, so you cannot run at the moment. You want to see who is attacking you, right?
To defend yourself, you can turn and strike him. If you watch the above video, the attacker is a big guy. When you face someone who is way bigger than you, even you turn and strike, you cannot reach him and hit him.
The moment you turn, grab the attacker's hand that is in front of you and pull. Now you can get in, close the gap and strike to his face. To strike someone on the face with open hands, you need to learn how to strike and spend some time to practice, otherwise, you will get hurt on your fingers.
You have to strike hard and make some damage when you are being attacked. You can also kick to his knee and groin. As soon as you are free and the guy is in pain, get out of there quickly.
Thank you so much for reading this. So what would you do in this situation? Please feel free to let me know in the comment section. I'd love to hear from you.
Stay safe. Always be happy!
