Self -defense against a grab from the back


Today we are going to see one  technique that we can use to defend ourselves from a grab from the back.


Suppose you are walking down the street and someone grabs you from the back with his right hand. Turn towards your attacker from your left side and strike the attackers right arm with your left shuto ( knife edge strike) and hold his arm. Then with your right hand punch him in the solar plexus and let your hand move to his right shoulder. Pull his shoulder in a downward action and strike with your knee either to his nose or to the solar plexus. 


For any attack there are numerous techniques, we just show one of the possible ways to defend yourself from such an attack. For better understanding the techniques are shot at a slow pace. It is with repeatedly practicing the techniques that a person will be ready to face a real attack on the street at a much faster pace.

Importance of Self defense training for all.

Self defense training is a life skill that is very important for all to learn irrespective of age, gender or fitness levels.

Some of these words are scams on the entire human race, making us weak, soft and escapist.  Motivation is one such word. It is one word that has made so many of us blame our escapist behaviours on something else rather than stand up to bring the change within. Just by saying - I don't have the motivation - we are trying to shift the blame onto something else besides our laziness or escapist behaviour.  Trigger is another word with a new meaning. A few decades back trigger was just something on a gun. Today everything triggers everyone, making us softer than soft toys, crying or getting anxiety over anything anyone says.  Coming back to motivation. The self help books hoax is another stupidity trying to mint money off gullible people. How is it a self help book, if you need to read what someone else writes to introspect or bring change in your own life. Self help com...
