How to defend yourself to a big guy if you're a girl? no time for karate classes!?

Question

no one's bullying me, i just realized that it's better to defend yourself coz it's not a safe world. my friend was snatched and the snatcher punched her too. didn't know how to defend herself. that's sad.

Answer 1

You say no time for Karate.  An hour a week even would be a wonderful start and probably could be fit into a busy lifestyle if you really try.  I have been in martial arts for a number of years and believe that helps spritiually as well as physically. As for your question:  pepper spray, asking others for assistance are good but just plain ole aviodance of situations that could lead to this are your best solutions.

Answer 2

Hit them in the soft parts of the body, sounds awful but that means eyes, throat, testicles.  A rolled up magazine can be a useful weapon when you use it's edges (they're hard)!

Answer 3

There's a lot of background missing here.  What is the guy doing, or what does he intend to do?  You might get pepper spray and keep it in your purse.  A knee to the groin and fingernails to the eyes and ripping at his nostrils can help in an attack, screaming for help or blowing a whistle are considered a good idea in an attack, too.

Answer 4

kick to the nads [balls]  or a punch on his nose

Answer 5

Kick him in the knees and poke him in the eyes then at the first opportunity RUN as quickly as you can away.

Answer 6

Well if your worried about something like that you prob should start doing some martial arts, I doubt someones going to give you an answer that will work in every single situation *cough-the groin-cough*

Answer 7

Fight as dirty as you can?  Poke his eyes, mace him, twist his nuts, do whatever you need to to win.

Answer 8

Pepper spray

Mace

Stun gun

Personal alarm

If its one particular guy, get a restraining order.

Answer 9

Call the police.

(Otis seems to know quality)

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12

Kimber Custon II 1911 .45acp or Remington 870 Express.

Answer 13

I would knife him in the face. What choice do you have against a man who is intent on hurting you. h**l, take out an eye or two.

Answer 14

Do the following quickly and with as much force as you can:

#1. Cup your hands and slap both of his ears at the exact same time the air between your cupped hands and his ear drums will rupture his inner ear.

#2. Gouge his eyes and if he shuts them tightly to prevent the gouging use your finger nail to scartch his eye lid to the point that you can feel his skin ripping of of his eye lid.

#3. Attack his throat ( Adam's apple ) repeatedly with punches and rock your shoulder into the punch kind of like you're literally trying to lean forward at the exact  same time you throw those punches.

#4. Elbow his collar bone ( pick one and stick with just the one collar bone over and over ) with the very tip of your elbow either downward or acorss in motion depending on you position.  This will be extremely painful to your own elbow, but continue elbowing his collar bone if you feel like you elbow is broken continue anyway and suffer through the pain.

#5. Repeatedly attack his nose with punches and palm strikes with the heel of your hand.  A bump on the nose will make his eyes water and shut let alone using all the force you can repeatedly.

#6. Attack his small joints such as his fingers and wrist use both hands if you must but try your best to break his fingers both of your hands against one of his.

#7. If he bends over at the waiste down ward elbow his spine repeatedly with the sharp of your elbow near the back of his neck.

these are a few that could help a woman with an attacker.  Just remeber fighting hurts just keep fighting through the pain.  You can ice lumps later.

Answer 15

The best form of self defence is your lifestyle.  Perhaps if you have no time for karate AND you are in danger, you need to change your lifestyle.

Answer 16

get a sharp tongue and good wit. saves my a s s

Answer 17

You simply say "No!" and if he persists, call the cops.  The key is NEVER go anywhere that you're not able to get up and walk away and never go anywhere that he could corner you out of sight of others.  Yes, that means planning ahead: if a certain hang-out is known for being a place where girls regularly "get compromised", don't go there - with or without him - unless you WANT to get "compromised".  You want to be able to holler "RAPE"  and know someone's gonna call the cops for ya.

ALSO: if the guy has ever proven aggressive in the past, DO NOT let him drive you anywhere, but insist he meet you wherever you plan to go on your date.  If he can't handle that, he can't handle you.  

Bottom line: until you get to know him VERY well, you got to treat every man as a potential rapist.  That does not mean you have to be too frightened to ever date - just know the potential and be prepared for it.

Answer 18

call the cops.  they love that kind of thing.
