Instantly went to try this on my siblings

Thanks for this video, a drunk stranger tried grabbing me and my roommate on our walk home last week. I used one of these and he backed off so we both got away safely. Thank you very much, please keep doing what your doing.

In the heat of the moment, it is likely you'll freeze up, panic, and/or forget. That's why self defense moves are something you should practice over and over, on a regular basis. It's a muscle memory thing. The more you drill it, the more likely your body is to quickly respond without you even having to think about what to do if you are ever put in these situations. Stay safe ladies ❤︎

self defense should be a mandatory class in every school. we need to be teaching RELEVANT things we need in life like this

We wouldnt need this if people weren't such perverts and creeps!

Me an 11 year old getting ready for middle school defense 😅

1. When arm is grabbed - 1:04 2. When someone invades your personal space - 2:30 3. When hair is pulled - 4:07 4. When grabbed from behind - 5:10 5. When being mounted - 7:12

it's really sad that women are having to learn this in the first place.

[Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond] What about for a small woman defending herself against a much larger, stronger aggressor?

they talk about disengaging after the moves but if anyone every tried to kidnap me i’m going to beat the absolute crap out of them

I use these at school- I hate people touching me and getting close to me and once a guy from a class above tried to grab me into a corner during break and I sprained his arm- safe to say literally EVERYONE saw and no one tried to get me backed up ever again 😀🤸‍♂️

I like the idea behind this video, and self defense is very important. I think these ladies have good intentions, and I fully support what they are trying to do. However, most of these techniques would not work in a real fight against a fully resisting opponent who is actually trying to hurt you. The only decent technique in the video was the defense against the mount, except the position started in full guard and a mount never happened. Again I think it is admirable what these women are trying to do, but if you are really serious about self defense: 1) Get in shape. 2) Go to a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym, you will learn better techniques and be able to practice them over and over again with a fully resisting opponent. 3) Get a gun, learn how to use it, train with it, and carry it. In the real world the bad guys have knives and guns. All that being said, 90% of self defense is avoiding stupid situations. The other 10% is being able to deal with those situations.

I used to be afraid of walking home alone at night before I started to take self-defense classes. I'd like to share some tips that I've leaned from my classes so far with all your female viewers! I've recently been taking Krav Maga for women classes for self-defense, and so far I've learned that the best best self-defense targets on a mans body for women to attack, and the best ways of striking them are as follows: - the eyes (finger poke them) - the nose (palm heel strike upwards) - the throat (chopping like actions) - the testicles (knee / kick / punch / slap / grab-twist-pull and hold on to them tightly until he collapses and passes out within a matter of seconds) - the knees (sideways kick to dislocate) We always remember "eyes, nose, throat, testicles, knees" or "eyes, nose, throat, balls, knees" I've also been taught that even a trained, determined teenage girl could easily take down a man if she goes for these targets, especially if she goes fast and hard for the eyes or the testicles (or "high balls" and "low balls" as I've also heard them called!) One very powerful technique I also learned is that if a man has removed his trousers and he is about to rape you, then his testicles will now be extremely vulnerable to the "grab, twist, pull and hold" counterattack. You should snatch his balls and keep squeezing and pulling them as hard as you can until he passes out in under 8 seconds - and I've been taught that he will , no matter how big and strong he is. You can even use both hands, and it's still just as effective even if you only manage to get hold of one testicle. Apparently, when a man has his testicles forcefully squeezed it causes him to curl over, collapse, convulse and quickly lose all of his strength before he collapses and passes out or goes into shock in under 8 seconds. Most importantly this holds true no matter how big and strong he is - a wonderful natural advantage we females have in combat over men. Surely this is something we should all be made aware of and we should all be taught how to do it! I really wish that more women and girls were made aware of effective ways to fight back - in particular I wish they were made more aware of this "ball grab and hold" technique. From what I've read and been taught it has literally saved many women throughout the world. The women of Somalia even have a name for this move and they call it "Qworegoys". Mothers teach their daughters to reach under their attackers tunic and grab, twist, and pull his testicles until he passes out, and to also tuck their head in until the point he loses consciousness in case he initially starts to fight back. We, as women, really can fight back effectively, stay safe, and lessen our fears if we know how and where to strike on an attackers body and most importantly, learn how to "fight dirty" ❤️

re 3rd move: if someone comes and grabs my hair....imma let that wig go 😂😂😂 ( kidding. very useful video)

I absolutely love how she explained the moves. She made it clear and understandable. She actually explained why to make each move and it really helped. Thanks so much!

My father is very athletic, and I’ve always had interest in sports and stuff. So it was really inspiring to see how these techniques work. Thank you for this video!

These moves look so easy but in actual I know I'll end up being freeze rather than being quick.

Me watching women self defense: to protect myself : >> no to win when i fight with my brothers : >>yeah thats why

I'm a guy and I'm afraid that I might get abused due to some past so I'm here and I'm ashamed that it's mostly men who abuse. Learned great self defense techniques from this video. thanks!

Really this is what everyone needs these days! We want more of this plz!

Her: "the goal is not to show off" Me: "dang it!"

5:21 I’m a freaking child how could I ever carry an adult

I appreciate this video so much. I work late nights and I’m usually alone and some men like to take advantage of that. It’s so frustrating and scary but now I know exactly how to deal with it 🥰

I tried this with my girl..I won every time

These will come in handy one day, I'm 12 years old and it's sad that woman and young girls have to know self defence.

I'm gonna use these tricks in my shower with an imaginary attacker then.

Thank you Joanna for sharing this. Especially during these hate crimes. One must be prepared to defend themselves. Please do more of these videos thank u

I'm a 13 year old girl and I've been researching this so when I'm at the store, at school or anywhere I can protect myself. Thank you!

"That don't require strength." "So just step behind the knees, pick him up and slam him"

The intention of this video is great. However, I doubt it will work in the situation (under stress!). If you really want to defend yourself, go into regular training, so the movements are in your muscle memory. You need to be able to do them without thinking. So the routine of the techniques is crucial! So training, training, training!!! Just a thought from a 3rd Dan (black belt) in Karate. 😉

Everyone should feel safe walking home at anytime of the day and night sadly we are in this day and age in a position that we have to on our guard, however it is never to late to learn about protecting yourself, this is a great video with good explanatory may we all keep safe including these girls when out and about.

When someone attacks a woman: Attacker: *Grabs* Woman: HYAHHH Attacker: *Backs off* When someone attacks me: Attacker: *Grabs* Me: *Farts in fear* Attacker: *Backs off*

Me: *watches video* Also me: Looks at brothers* Me:Ayo jhits, come'er for a second. I've got something fun for us to do 😏

Just had a creep try to follow me home (practically sprinting after me since I'm a fast walker). It got dark quickly and the street lights aren't working (currently waiting to be fixed) and there's lots of trees and driveways into fields that someone can hide in or drag you into. There's no other way for me to get back home and since its usually pretty deserted and gets dark at about 4:00pm the fact a guy a lot bigger than me could hurt me so easily is horrifying. I always let someone know when to expect me back so that in case something did happen and I'm delayed they can raise the alarm. I'm so glad that people like you are showing us how to protect ourselves. It's sad that it's so necessary but I can seriously say that your videos will make a huge difference to any woman who's felt threatened whilst walking alone.

I really love their teamwork in doing this! Very nice and helpful video!

😂I’m gonna do this to this guy in my gym class because he’s always harassing me

You guys are complaining about the difference of strength, but it's also about momentum.

THIS IS THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND FRIENDLY INSTRUCTIONS

These are really easy to learn moves that could possibly be life saving. Thank you, I'm going to watch this every day until I feel confident that I've learned them. I just wish the woman who was demonstrating the moves had a UKposts channel and not just IG 😞

Knowing me I won’t run away and “accidentally” break their arm

Holy shit, I was trying it in my house and now I think that maybe I broke my best friend's wrist

Uh, definitely try these tips against an actual resisting attacker on the mat. You’ll soon find that most all of this is near impossible against someone who doesn’t want to play along

When the attacker is overweight than me how can I....🙄

I wish my parents thought about giving me the self-defense classes instead of trying to seek money...

I’m teaching my younger brother and my mother this. My mom works nights and my brother straight up just isn’t strong enough to protect himself. So thanks for this vid

These are awesome!! 😃 VERY well taught & demonstrated. Thank you for helping others know how to be safe. 🙏😊

Every women should know these basic moves to protect herself from any danger and I thank to all those UKposts channels who are teaching this ❤️

Thank you for this video. I often have to travel alone on the train during later hours and I’m young and pretty weak looking, there have been plenty of times people have tried to do something to me but I’ve always been lucky that my friend was there to stop it (he’s a He and very tall and muscular, which helps me out but also kinda pisses me off that a man has to be present to stop a situation from happening) and now I know what to do when he isn’t around. Thank you

Lmao the way she looked when she was pulling her hair😂

Go Girls ! Great basic self defence moves , trick is to practice over and over and over till it becomes hardwired . I practiced Shotokan Karate for five years , then stopped due to work/study commitments . Ten years later I was attacked by a person and quickly disarmed him using a basic block/hold move we had practiced over and over . On the day it happened so quickly , I didn't realise what I did till minutes later . Great video . Power to the girls . 🙂

*Tries with boyfriend* *He has me on the ground in 0.3 seconds* I need to practice then I’ll whoop his arse🥴

her: then you can disengage me: I'm kicking him right in the face then I'll run 😂

Thank you guys for getting me started on self-defense moves. This may come in handy in life.

Thank you! I like this. Some old favorite moves, applied and linked, in a very smooth and teachable manner. I will start teaching this to my 9-14yr girls. Thx, again.

Brilliant video, well presented....thank you for posting xx

Wow now I imagine how to be a hero just watching this🤦

This is the reason why HER NETWORK is one of the most awesome and widespread network because it offers contents not only regarding fitness bt regarding everything we need ...Nd this one's so important for we girls safety need such more contents 😊😙😙😙😙😍😙😍😘😘💃❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍

This is fantastic. I have watched it several times and will watch it several more. Thank you very much for showing this

*Just scream at a brendon urie pitch until their ears bleed, that always works for me,·-·,*

“I’m definitely not in a good position right now”😂😂😂

Goodness, people. This video is not the end-all be-all of self-defense. It's a good introductory video and obviously doesn't replace actual practice and training. Knowing SOMETHING is better than knowing nothing. Obviously an actual attacker wouldn't be so easy to take down.

I appreciate you and this vid. Ty Been practicing on my husband (who is 100lbs bigger than me) and I was able to take him to the ground with the 4th move.

These techniques will only work if your attacked by a 90lb little girl in slow motion.

Hi Joanna, Thank you so very much for this informative and useful video! It is wonderful that you are creating content that is practical and empowering to women! I hate to be morbid, but could you also do a video in which you demonstrate how women can defend themselves in situations where the assailant may have a knife or other such weapon? Thank you and I look forward to future videos.

This is actually amazing!! Tysm❤️

Definitely going to come in handy around my job, Definitely time to learn to defend myself now that everything's gotten 10x worse with this covod, it's time to protect defend and disengage Thanks for a very well made instructional video ⚘⚘⚘

Immediately searched for this when i was told that im going to commute.. next : How to make your own pepper spray

All this techniques will work only if your opponent is a weaker person. And moreover your adrenaline will get shooted up in such situations as it comes with a sudden surprise. If you are not a trained martial artist or you don't have any combat sport experience, you may not be able to overcome that. For controlling such situations, you should learn martial arts or combat sports to get enough fighting experience.

Respectfully non of these will actually work in a real dangerous situation. This video is ideal to someone with some martial background training. If you’ve never sparred a day in your life you won’t be able to execute any of these techniques. To anyone trying to learn how to defend yourself I highly recommend you find a gym close to you that trains fighters.

Queens!! I think I finally learned the moves!! Thank you!! 👑 Imma use these play fighting with my dude and in case of emergency!!

Me after watching video Me to my bro: come here

The only thing I’ve known is when somebody is holding me from behind I push my head backward into their chin ;-;

love this! thanks for sharing

This was very helpful! Thank you so much for uploading this!

Thank u so much. My mom is abusive, and uses her anger to beat and strangle me. This self defense has helped save me for this. Thank you

I love that you are teaching this on UKposts, and I offer the following constructive criticism with nothing but love and admiration; but as a self-defense instructor, I think these moves are probably too complicated for the average person to learn from watching a video without having more formal instruction. In the event of an attack, reactions need to rely on gross motor skills; they need to be simple, fast, and violent. It's not enough to get the person to let go of you, or drive them to the ground so that you can run away. The victim needs to drive the assail to the ground then give them a reason not to get back up, or hurt them enough to give you even more time to get to safety. Just my unsolicited two cents worth, and I hope that you take it with the intention that it was given. Keep teaching, and keep making people safer and more confident.

Easy to understand and very effective. Great vid!!!

I loved this video and I would love to recommend some techniques that I came up with based on what I learned from here. Technique number 1: The Chokeslam. Let's say your attacker is trying to grab your left arm, you use your right arm to grab him by the throat, he's gonna let your other arm go at this point and you're going to want to place your free hand on his hips, lift him up over your head by his throat and hip and slam him to the ground. Technique number 2: The Hadoken. Your attacker is holding you from behind in a chokehold. First thing you're going to do is bite his hand so he lets go, then you take a step back and input quarter circle medium punch and send a blue fireball flying at him, potentially killing him. Technique number 3: The Great Escape. Your attacker has got you down on the floor and is on top of you. Uh-oh, right? Wrong! Simply make sure he inadvertently puts himself in a Kimura position, lock in the submission hold and break his arm and then simply run away.

first if your life is being threatened any resistance you can do is good though avoidance or deescalation is best. Most of these are common martial arts techniques and can be effective but any joint lock/grappling/chin na technique is best learned from an instructor, they were never intended to be taught from video (as video didn't exist when they were invented) there are too many variables when applying them and a small change in angle can make the difference between succeeding and failing also they are fairly easy resist or counter unless you can counter their counter by moving to a new lock changing angles or striking. One of the most important elements of self defense is awareness of your surroundings it is much easier to counter these attacks/grabs if you never let the attacker get a hold of you, first you need to keep people at distance if you can do this it's much easier to maybe even deescalate the situation which is always the preferred end. Sometimes that isn't possible and you might get grabbed in which case for an untrained fighter striking is easier to succeed with than locks and locks are also easier to apply after a successful strike. Thanks for posting the more info that gets out there the better.

1:04 Arm 2:30 Shoulder 4:08 Hair 5:11 Behind 7:15 Ground Choke

This is amazing! So helpful too!

You always revert to your training, so train. Create habits...

Been told it’s a good idea to learn this before starting university. Sad we live in a world like this

Thank you so much Joann, needed this

Thank you for this!!

2:20 but you Do know the Attacker most likely has 2 Hands

Okay but for the second move, that isn't going to work if the person is much taller or bigger than you so you can't get a hold of their shoulder. It might've been more helpful if you brought in a big guy. Still incredibly helpful though!

The key here is to TAKE CONTROL first, NO panic, then use a technique!!!! Got it! Thank you!!!

Thank u so much this is so helpful for me 💯

I really love this,I'm so glad I'm watching this

liked before watching because I know this would be owsm as always😚..nd u are looking super cute😍..lots of love from #India❤

Thank you sooooooooo much. Your clips were so helpful !

A parent got in my face at school today, so it's good to refresh how to defend myself, just in case they get physical...Thanks!

The second is very useful been using it for years well against my friends🤣

The hair pulling one seemed easy

Walking back to work at a doctors office across the street from lunch in a busy parking lot full of stores and I was walking infront of a doctors office & bank, near fast food and a grocery store. on the phone telling my BF I was going back to work and this guy around my age like 22-25 was behind me and walked infront of me and turned around as if he went the wrong way and attacked me for my phone. I still never got the cops to really answer me later on any possible footage of him running away under the cameras. No one helped. Definitely not until after did someone come out and gave a report. People watched as I screamed and was on the floor. Thanks for this video I hope I can sign up for classes. I love pepper spray, and the gel form now.

Thanks! I’m Ready and Set!

Excellent! I tried this moves on my wife and she's already from last week in the hospital. Thanks!
