Hey lovelies, open question: Are any of you into self defense and do you want to share something with the rest of us?

    Ya I’ll spit out all the unique-to-me self defence tips I learned from my Jiu Jitsu class.

    Crotch nose eyes throat. Attack em. If someone pulls you into a chokehold from behind use your back leg to stomp and drag your shoes down their knees/shins and lean forward to pull them off balance. Use your elbow and your entire body weight (whatever you can) into their stomach, swipe your cupped hand down like a wiper and slam their balls, then move forward as they hopefully let go and flick your hand outwards straight into their eyes.

    Make as much noise as possible and absolutely book it away and run after this.

    I studied karate a while ago and have looked into self defense since.

    I think the most important think is to learn how to control your emotions during any confrontation either using them to your advantage or learning how to calm yourself, heart rate, the adrenalin spikes etc.

    Notice what your body is doing and work with it to either calm it or not be so uncontrolled.
