Shocking it is , I know. Here's how to avoid them in First Place :
--------
General: - If you see or sense problems on your way, just change your route and - prepare to run or defend yourself
- Do not wear conspicuous jewelry when you are walking on the streets alone
- Do not hitchhike, use buses or taxis instead
- Do not act or look like an easy target - look confident!
- Most "fights" are won before they start, and aggressors will back down if you maintain eye contact and are not intimidated by them.
Attacking - When you are in a an unwanted fight
---------------------------------------------------------------
Most women generally scream when they are caught up with a strange criminal-mined man , looking for a fight , to say the least.Screaming doesn't mean harmless and I am sure they would have at least had a scrap at his face.Generally women have a tendency to slap his face before running away.
The result ? If she had been quick , she might have managed to slap his face , but the man , even if he had been struck , his hands would have by then been on you mouth and probably his other hand would have already chocked you and you are overpowered .What you actually need to have done was as soon as you realize that this guy is up to no good ( Take care that you don't take too long ) , IMMEDIATELY , Swiftly place both you hands on his shoulder , gripping tightly , rapidly drive you knee to is groin.Make sure you do this whole thing rapidly especially when you drive your knee up , forget everything JUST DO IT FAST. Gripping his shoulder and driving up your knee SHOULD happen at the same time.It go just right if you practice this with someone.
The catch in this is that it is a bit hard though not with practice.So try this method :
Drive your hand rapidly to the attacker's eyes and punch ! OR
Use your hand for the groin attack

IMPORTANT NOTES :
---------------------------------------
1. Do Not Panic.
2.Open your lungs and scream !
3.make sure you practice these techniques
4. And BE FAST !!
-------------
5.Don't loiter around the scene and as you are asking for trouble.RUN as fast as you can until you are in a well-light public place with people preferably untill you are safe in a crowd.
For dangerous situations... You can prepare against different threats by practicing how to quickly reach the objects and how to use those effectively and safely...
Before using or even practicing these techniques, please read and understand my notice to avoid getting into legal difficulties.
Unfortunately during a confrontation situation your imagination will not usually be fast enough to invent weapons out of these objects, so planned objects should be carried. Always practice how to quickly and effectively use them.
The first idea to prevent confrontation is to avoid the places and situations where these can occur.
Here I'll give you a few very simple examples:
-
Be Aware. Awareness is one of the most important things in Self Defense. By being aware of your surroundings, many threats on the streets can be avoided
-
If you see or sense problems on your way, change route or go to the other side of the road and prepare to run or defend yourself
-
Never wear conspicuous jewelry when you are walking in the streets
-
Never hitchhike, use buses or taxis
-
Never act or look like an easy target
-
Most "fights" are won before they start, and aggressors will back down if you maintain eye contact and are not intimidated by them.
IF YOU ARE OVERPOWERED AND ON THE FLOOR
----------------------------------------------------------------
When you are overpowered and on the floor , :
1. He might try to jump onto you before attacking ( see the photo).At these times , I would recommend that you try to poke his eyes and his face and pry him off using your finger nails.
