Use a Kick and Use a Joint Lock

Use a kick. When an attacker grabs your wrist, lean backwards away from the attacker.
Step2
Bend your knee and lift your leg toward your chest.
Step3
Deliver a kick with the heel of your foot to whichever ribs are exposed.
Step4
If the attacker is taller than you or you cannot strike the ribs, kick to the front of the attacker's knee.

Run away.
Step6
Use a joint lock. Turn quickly so that your back faces the attacker.

Pull the attacker's arm over your shoulder with his or her palm facing upward.
Step8
With the attacker's elbow on your shoulder, pull down. The attacker is now in a painful joint lock, unable to move. You are in control.

When your opponent holds you, check the position of their thumb. It is the weak spot of their hand. Pull or push your hand in that direction, if they hold on, their thumb will break, so they will have to let you go. If their grip is stronger, you can get your other arm to pull it out, do it fast or your opponent will know what to do.
