Self-defense moves everyone should know, especially women, to protect themselves.
Here are 5 essential self-defense moves every woman should learn—let’s take a look at these techniques.
Palm Strike: Use the bottom of your hand to push against an attacker’s face, aiming for the nose or chin. This can cause enough discomfort to help you get away.
Knee Lift: Quickly lift your knee up and into the attacker’s lower body. This can create a moment of pain and give you a chance to escape.
Elbow Jab: When you’re close to someone, use your elbow to push against their body. It’s a strong move that can help you break free from a hold.
Foot Stomp: If someone is holding your arm or trying to restrain you, stomp down hard on their foot. This can make them let go and give you space to move.
Escape Techniques: Practice how to get out of common holds, like when someone grabs your wrist. Techniques involve turning your wrist towards their thumb or using your body to pull away.
