It is an important life skill to know how to protect yourself against anyone who may want to cause you harm, especially for women. You never know when or where you can be attacked. It can happen on your way home, on your way to your car, or right at your front door.
You can also be attacked for a number of reasons — but none of that matters if you know how to properly and effectively fend off malfeasants and criminals.
I never learned myself, but thanks to this thorough tutorial by martial arts expert Dalia Terret, I feel a little more confident walking home alone at night.
In this clip, she demonstrates two methods that will help you make the fastest escape away from a knife-wielding attacker. Of course, before executing these moves, be aware of your surroundings and the position of the person in front of you.
Next, while staying cool and collected, the key is getting the knife away from you while staying balanced. This involves pushing away the attacker's arm in some way before running away.
Although these are extremely helpful tips, you should get some friends together and practice these at home. Who knows? Maybe they will save your life one day!
It's also a good idea to take a class with an instructor. There's nothing like learning from professionals, and this way, you'll get the best possible training.
Please SHARE if there is someone in your life you think would benefit from learning these two key moves!
