I’ve seen a few “be aware” posts going around about self defense, and I wanted to add something I don’t see touched on a lot. Something I teach everyone, right after “run away” and “make as much noise as you can.”
Always, ALWAYS try to make noise no matter what. While you’re running even. But if you can’t run. If they’re holding your wrist, or your hair, or bearhugging, whatever, and you can’t run. Genitals might be hard to grab or aim for. If you can, great! But I always teach this:
Kick ‘em in the knee.
It’s an easy target, it’s right there even if they’ve got your arms from behind, and a knee only bends one way.
You kick it the way it doesn’t go? Boom, they are done. On the floor, probably screaming, and they can’t chase you.
Then you run away.
Also works with elbows.
