Do you know how hard most of this is to do? Number 1 should be run, then if you absolutely have to, knees and elbows, like if you’re trapped in a corner and he’s within striking distance. Even then clinch is better.
Get thy daughters to a reputable self d course. It’s best to learn how weak you are in a controlled environment.

Seriously, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can’t even get a someone with a good grip to let go of your wrist. Someone grabs your wrist, you’re going to poke their eye out? I don’t think the average woman has the balls to do that. Also, you’re fucked if it goes wrong. Now a really pissed off guy has a death grip on your wrist. Better to know a bit of physics.
I gotta go to class, and I don’t want to harp on it, but you guys shouldn’t be telling the women in your lives to ‘just hit’ a strange guy. Especially if she’s never actually punched anything before.

That’s from a Bruce Lee’s Self Defense Book I read years ago.
He discussed this in context of women’s self defense.
Eye poke/Throat punch to stun - not a lot of force needed. scratch your hair/ear to get your hand up high and shorten the distance to strike.
Knee kick - not a lot of force required to serious fuck up a knee
Kick in the ribs - probably the easiest way to apply a lot of force to a vunerable area. Intent is to break a rib and serious disable a person.
Training for events that might happen is always a good thing.
The point is when you do have to resort to physical force is to disable you opponent as quickly as possible.
If a guy has you by the wrist, you’re not going to be getting a weapon out any easier then raking him across the eyes with finger tips.
Learning basics like how to use keys as a weapon, how to turn your wrists of a grip by someone, how to not panic and to defend yourself when assaulted.
I guess what I’m not conveying well is that there’s a big area between being safe and being in a situation where you have to maime (sp?)/ kill someone to insure your safety. I think a lot of people ignore that.
In real life, most situations fall into that vast middle area.
I didn’t mean that if someone grabs your wrist, you grab a weapon, I meant when drunk guy at the bar grabs your wrist, you should be able to angle it out with out having to escalate the situation.
I’ve used most of the self D stuff I’ve learned I’ve used on drunk men, mostly drunk acquaintances, I’m not going to break their ribs, but I don’t want to be picked up and carried.

Agreed and this is why I bought this for Jlo.
Place on forehead and pull trigger.

Bingo! Pull out gun, point at face, ask “do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?” Pull trigger regardless of answer bc you probably are not the first and most likely won’t be last.
Your cat with balls was hilarious. Animation just worked for me. I hate cats but he could be my pet. Would post my bulldogs trained for knife hunting hogs but wouldn’t want to offend beans with masculinity.

here I am. Today was okay. Talked to my boss about the guy situation. Ended up filing a police report.

glad nothing crazy happened. police can only act in hindsight, you are helping build an evidence trail though. Being proactive is better.
