Kids Self-Defense: Strike Against Single Wrist Grab

Video Transcript

"In kid safety your hand is an effective striking tool. I'd like to teach the kids that a hammer fist is a little more effective for them. To strike with an adult fist or a true punch, takes years and years to practice, so a hammer fist works very more effective for kids. If they're being grabbed from the front, you're going to use that hammer fist, you're going to right to the forearm. At this point you're going to stick to it and go through the arm and you're going to implement the wrist escape at the same time. You're going to strike and you're going to wrist escape and then you can escape the whole event. So I'm grabbing, she's going to attack and wrist escape right off. If you attack hard enough, they might let go even before you do the wrist escape, but you do the wrist escape in injunction with the attack and it's more effective. Right there. And it's a stickiness that you want to have. If they just bounce off of you, it's not going to be as effective. You need to stick with it and go through the arm. Just like that and it makes it very hard to hang on to something like that. From a one hand grab from the front of strike with the wrist escape, it will help to keep you safe."
