When Both Wrists Are Grabbed

4. Swing your arms upward and twist your hands so you can grab the attacker's wrists.

5. Apply downward pressure, step forward and push the attacker away.

Tips & Warnings

• Practice the technique with a partner until you develop mastery.
• Striking with the back of the fist (a "backfist") to the temple is a serious strike. Don't use it unless you intend harm. Always try to escape first before striking and risking a prolonged confrontation.
• Practicing the martial arts is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. We recommend you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity.
