Women's Self-Defense: Neck Grab Escape

Video Transcript

"Hello, I'm shifu Mallan of the Clearwater Kung Fu Center. This is my assistant Melissa and this is women's self defense. O.k., we're working on another escape. This escape is given with someone grabbing you by your neck, o.k., Now a lot of the times when this happens We don't have a lot of time to react. So we need something very fast o.k., and very strong. So as that hand comes here, Melissa's going to take a step back with her left foot. As she does this she's going to lift her right arm straight up this way, right in front of her. Now she's going to twist using her waist and backs the hand off the bottom. O.k., again. A grab, she steps back, hit. Now again as you do this hit, the hit shouldn't be done lightly but it should be done very forcefully and fast. That's it. O.k., doing it from an opposite side so you can see. I grab, Melissa steps back, hits in to the arm. Again, good. O.k., now as you're hitting you're hitting right on top of the bone here and your hand is hitting inside the forearm or outside the forearm here. O.k., so that this way it doesn't hurt your own bone. You don't want to come in to it bone on bone this way. We've all hurt our funny bones before and its not funny. So we want to make sure to hit with the outside of the forearm where we have more meat on it. Again, one more time Melissa. I grab, you step back, boom. This is escape. This is neck grab escape, women's self defense."
