Say you’re walking along, minding your own business, and some lunatic/psycho tries to attack you (no weapons), will you be able to take him down or at least defend yourself (run, punch, bite etc)???
Re: Can you defend yourself?
I can scream and bite 
tht is it…
I asked for taekwondo classes for self defence but parents didnt let me :hinna:
Re: Can you defend yourself?
Something like that happened to me once.
And I’ve come to the conclusion that I really need self-defense classes. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to take any yet.
Re: Can you defend yourself?
I grow my nails long enough for such a day you know just in case :D I can also take off my high heels and use them as a weapon. So I am able to defend myself :D
Re: Can you defend yourself?
I never go out alone so never had to face such an issue...
Re: Can you defend yourself?
Kick him in the... you know where and it'll do the trick! :D
Re: Can you defend yourself?
you can at least try to defend yourself. but all those who have gone through such situations tell that there is never enough time for defence.

I think the problem is that people get caught off guard and panic. They can't believe they're in a situation like this and as a result, can't think straight.

what will you do when you grow up ? :)
Re: Can you defend yourself?

But we cannot avoid being alone in elevators, waiting rooms etc. So its better to be prepared.

Re: Can you defend yourself?
You go outside with a mahram 
Re: Can you defend yourself?
Hahaha oh this is what I live for really. I would love some psycho to jump me right now... I would take them down, stand up or groundwork I'll take out most average targets without a problem.
Offcourse if the element of surprise was on thier side and they had a weapon then not even Hercules has a chance really but I've a good idea of the outcome against most toughs.
That said I like the idea of offensive defence, Krav Maga, Jui Jitsu etc all emphasise a level of strong counter attack. It also makes sense if you train in a more diverse range and utilise every weapon to hand... not just fists and feet I mean elbows, knees, headbuts, biting (though I wouldnt use this as a first resort) Even improvised weapons. You can use a pen or a Kubaton in a deadly manner and even ladies can make effective use of a variety of potentially lethal killing implements.
When it comes to defence I dont worry much on the ground... it's when things come to court that I tend to start worrying about a serious defence. Even if your fighting fit and can deliver proffesional performance in combat, you will still end up getting hell later in court so use your knowledge and body wisely. :)
Re: Can you defend yourself?
Finally glad to see a girl who has gone beyond 16 
Re: Can you defend yourself?
Good thread Hareem. :k:
Every one should be able to defend themselves somehow or the other. Life can come at you at such a high speed.
I was robbed at gun point two times in my life. Once in Pakistan and the other time in USA.
Re: Can you defend yourself?
Did u then take self defence classes?
Re: Can you defend yourself?
In theory, I think so. I’ve never had to test it out (and hope I won’t have to either 
)
Re: Can you defend yourself?

I can defend myself , but you are helpless when there is a gun sticking to your head.
Re: Can you defend yourself?
Small sized pistols are a good source of defense in these situations.
