"Hi, I'm Chemin Alldredge. I'm a third degree Black Belt and I'm here with Expert Village. Today we'll be going over advanced self defense. Alright another object that you carry most is your purse. Whenever you walk in groups in the mall or in large cities, you always want to make sure that you have a purse that is not always right here because it's easy to grab. You want to keep it on your shoulder and tucked underneath your armpit. Alright. For most women, everything in their purse is very valuable. They keep all their most important things in their purse; credit cards, money, keys, everything. But if your opponent comes and tries and to snitch away your purse. The best thing to do, let them have it. Everything in that purse can be replaced instead of fighting it. Now, if you want to keep your purse because say you are very attached to it or you just don't want to be taken advantage of, there's many things you can do. Use your purse as leverage. Alright. If the opponent is pulling and you're pulling, resisting, as they're pulling towards them, I'm pulling, my opponent's going to pull. I'm going to take my leg and I'm going to kick. I'm going to kick them in either in the groin or you can take your foot. If their foot is close like Mister Hetrick's is, you want to stomp on their foot. You can also stomp on their foot. Once, you can also take them; pull, after you kick them. I'm going to kick. I'm going to let go. Either the opponent is going to fall down or lose their balance. After that you can go ahead and attack them. You can also hit. If your opponent is here and you're grabbing. I can also take this leg and strike to the knee area and I also can take a punch. Remember that the purse, you can keep a grip on it but don't make your purse the main focus. Make your opponent the main focus. Concentrate on him and how you're going to take your best object away from your opponent."
