How to Get Away from the Wall: Women's Self Defense

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Chemin Alldredge. I'm a third degree Black Belt and I'm here with Expert Village. Today we are to be going over women's beginning self defense. Sometimes as women, we get put in situations that we are very uncomfortable in and we know that it's not going to lead to a safe place. Sometimes a man will come and they will attack you...not attack you, but they'll be close. You'll be talking and then you'll notice that you are cornered into a situation that you don't want to be in and you have to get out, but he won't let you leave. My attacker has me and I'm pushed up against a wall. I have nowhere to go. What I'm going to do is, I'm going to grab my attacker here. I'm going to knee him into the groin, loosening his grip, ducking under his arm, grabbing behind his body and then pushing him into the wall behind me. Alright, we are going to show you the way your hand is supposed to be positioned on the back of your attacker. So, my attacker is going to put his arm here. You are going to want to knee. As I knee, I'm going to grab one above and one under, coming around and pushing him into there, being able to get away. As my attacker comes and he's here, we're talking and I'm uncomfortable, I'm going to go. "
