Simple Escapes from Grabs

Overall Self Defense Table of Contents

When all you want to do is just leave or have him let go of you, use a simple escape.

Here is a short demo of this process.

 

Open your hand fingers spread out, step back elbow to elbow, turn, strike kidney with elbow.

 

Same movement with strike to head.  Look at the hand movements (1) Opened wide fingers spread (2) arm rotated so that bony edge in faced toward him.  

 

Same opening followed by strike to kidney area, step around behind, kick out knee, and pull shoulders back will result in fall backwards onto driveway.

 

Let's just leave.  Only if he is just a pest, because turning your back on a higher level of threat is not a good response.

 

Same type of walk away from rotated view.
