"In kid safety they might be grabbed 2 hands on one from the front. And you can use a hammer fist to help distract them, help disable them or get them off balance to give you time to escape. You're going to use that hammer fist and you're going to attack the forearm right there. As you do that you're going to stick to it and you're going to push through it and then this hand is going to rotate through both arms over their thumbs to help you escape. Sticky hand there, attack, rotate through and good escape that way. So when you're being grabbed from the front, you want to remember that a fist or hammer fist is going to be real effective. You're going to go right here at the base of the elbow and when you attack, you're going to stick to it and you're going to go through it using your whole body. You'll notice that I'm kind of lowering my center as I do that. You're going to stick through it and then my other hand is going to rotate through, turning as it goes which helps give a little bit of a twist, it makes it more difficult for them to hang on so you can keep yourself safe and escape by doing a hammer fist and then a wrist escape."
