2. Unfortunately, the threat of attacks against women is very real,
with new cases being reported everyday. Attacks can happen at
any time, and while we can minimise the risk by making sure
our doors are locked and by using common sense, we cannot
always be completely secure from an attack from happening.
For that reason, it is important that we learn a few essential
moves to refer to in the event of an attack. By preparing these
simple moves you will be able to act quickly, they could even
save your life.
3. AIM FOR THE EYES
This one is not for the squeamish but if you’re in a violent situation, this move could
debilitate your attacker immediately. Using your thumb, push the eyeball all the way
into the skull until it reaches your knuckle and then drag the thumb across to the
opposite side of the eye. Even if it does not work, it should shock your attacker enough
to give you some time to run.
4. SHOUT
When you’re caught up in the moment, it can be hard to summon your voice. But by
shouting at the top of your lungs, not only do you have more chance of someone
coming to your rescue but you may also scare your attacker away.
5. BODY PARTS
The testicles are a sensitive area and
I’m sure we have all watched a man
recoil in pain from copping a football to
the groin.
Guys will go to any cost to protect this
area because they know that if you
strike it, then they will be in excruciating
pain. They will be on guard at all times
to keep it secure. That said, if you get
the opportunity then you should hit or
kick him in this region with all of the
force you can conjure.
6. BE QUICK!
Time is of the essence, don’t give your attacker the leisure of plotting his/her next
step. Catch them by surprise by reacting quickly, try not to overthink what you are
doing and use the adrenaline pumping through your body to push power into your
moves.
7. EAR CUPPING
Performed correctly, this technique
can rupture your attackers
eardrums.
Cup both of your hands, keeping your
fingers tightly together and slap
them over your attackers ears.
The vacuum that the cupped hands
create will, at best rupture the
attackers eardrum and at worst,
leave them in a state of
disorientation.
