hi I’ve seen this floating around and some of the information is wrong/will hurt you more than your attacker. I have trained for 12 years in martial arts and taught self defense seminars for two, so here’s my take:
do not, under any circumstance, punch your attacker. unless you are actively training and know how to properly hold your hand, do NOT punch someone with a closed fist. use a palm heel, arc strike, elbow, etc. instead. it’ll save your hand, trust me
if you are approached on the street and cannot get away, draw as much attention to yourself. scream, cry, run, make it as loud as you can. however, do NOT yell fire. people tend to get away from burning things, so stick to just screaming thinks like “help” or actively narrate
tw: eye gouging
keep a distance as much as you can between you and the potential attacker. if they do get in close to you, aim for the eyes!!!!!!! seriously, you can take someone’s eyes out by hooking your finger into their tear ducts and pulling. it’s gross but will save you

tw: bodily horror??, ear pulling
additionally, it takes 8lbs of pressure to rip someone’s ear off, so just yank that baby right off they ugly head and run. if you take it with you then you got their dna man bada bing bada boom.

I am about to go to bed but I will update in the morning okay pls stay safe babes 
good mORNING I’m here haha with MORE TIPS so STRAP YA EAR NECKLACES ON AND LETS GET RRRRRREADY TO GO
i strongly advise to not carry a knife with you unless you KNOW how to use it. I’ve heard from multiple sources of attendees to my seminars that their attackers took the knife from them to only use it against them. this is SCARY so don’t carry unless you are training in knife use
lots and lots and LOTS of male attackers will wear a cup, and I know, kinda throws of the whole kick them in the balls things. this technique does work INCREDIBLY WELL when not wearing protection, but many attackers are “evolving” and using jock straps to their advantage+
now I’m not saying to NOT kick them in the groin, but try and go for their face first. PLENTY of people are not too fond of having their nose palm heeled lmfao
I said this at the beginning but I’ll say it again, GO FUCKING WILD! I mean it. in the replies someone asked if barking will work, and all I can say is attackers are expecting you to become “fawn-like” and freeze, so PLEASE bark at them, pterodactyl screech+
t-rex roar, make awful bear noises, baboon scream, or even throw a little funky goose yell. literally anything you can think of on the spot is GREAT
here I’ll start going more in-depth with different striking techniques, but please let me know if y’all would like some videos of me explaining instead!!! (also small disclaimer, some of this stuff is just my experience on what works. if you have other alternative please+
please PLEASE leave a reply explaining another tactic! I greatly appreciate it!!!)
okay let’s start off with the trustee ol’ PALM HEEL
okay let’s start off with the trustee ol’ PALM HEEL
when performing this strike, try and get yourself into a classic fighting pose with one foot in front of the other and your strongest arm in back. if this is done, then you can really twist your shoulders and put more “oomph” into your strike!
this is a strike where you form your hand into the shape of a sign language "E" — your hand should be at a 90 degree angle from your forearm facing up — and strike forwards, making sure to hit with the bottom center of your palm
this video does a great job in explaining how to accurately perform this maneuver!!
this video helps in showing where to strike with a palm heel, as well!!
tw: gun mention
also, might I add just briefly, if you think that the techniques above won’t do enough and you have the funds to purchase a firearm (and obviously are okay with carrying one) I suggest getting that along with a CCW+

I didn’t mention this before only because I know how expensive they are and how triggering it might be for some due to the amount of shootings and other scary situations that occur that revolve around firearms.
anyway, BACK TO THE SCRIPT
anyway, BACK TO THE SCRIPT
okay lots of people are talking about elbows so let’s TALK ABOUT THEM!!!!! YEAHHHH ELBOWS!!!!!
the elbow is one of the best techniques that you can use against someone! really all you have to do is bend your arm and swing! I’ll link a video in the next tweet+

skip to 25 seconds to see his demonstration! I highly recommend doing the rear elbow strike because it packs a little more, but front elbows are great as a set up/distraction to a rear elbow!!!!! YEAHHHHH ELBOWS!
there are SO many other strikes you can do to get away from an attacker, but I will leave you all to the palm heel and elbow for now.
if you decide to do your own research and go more in-depth with learning techniques, PLEASE for the love of food practice it+

with someone you TRUST. an old instructor of mine told some students to not use your spouse, gf/bf/partner, etc. to practice on but this is so WRONG! PRACTICE WITH THEM!!!! if they love you they will be more than happy to train with you. seriously+
and with different techniques floating around EVERYWHERE, be sure to practice them in full with another person so see if they even work! some techniques work better for certain people, so just try out multiple things!!!!!!
i love you all, and please god stay safe!!!!!! my dm’s are open and I will be making some vids to further explain some of these techniques over there on tikky tokky so please feel free to reach out to me or anyone in the replies for help!!!!!
oh and plus ultra lol
