Kids Self-Defense: Strike Against Shirt Grab

Video Transcript

"Talking about kid safety. You can use your hand as an effective striking tool if you're grabbed from the front. If they have you by the shirt, you're going to use a hammer fist in both hands. This is going to give them a little double whammy. You're going to put one hand or one fist right here at the base of the forearm or at the base of the elbow and the other one is going to be on the inside. So it's going to be, you're like going to sandwich their arm. And as you do that you're going to stick to it, go down and back out and that's going to make it very difficult for them to hand on. So both fists come in at the same time like this and then you back out. Okay. She attacks both sides of the arm, goes through it and with the whole body she steps back and around. When you're attacking both sides of the forearm and that way, there are some nerves in there that sometimes if you get it just right, it actually loosens the thumb and that definitely helps you to escape from a grab from the front of the shirt."
