"Come with me! Come here!" "No!" "Don't scream!" Now in this next skill we're gonna talk about what happens when the perpetrator grabs us from around the waist, traps our arms inside and squeezes us tight. It can be very frustrating at first because we have no arms to strike with, so let's go through that just for a moment. He grabs me from the front, he's trapped my arms here. As I bring my elbows up, I grab here. I step back with one foot, and now look. Knee strike to the groin until he lets go and, obviously at this point. probably will bend over. Now we can grab here. Knee strike to the face. Collapses to the floor, and we retreat. Now to practice this skill at home it's gonna be vital that your training partner uses two hands because we're using such a strong anatomical part to deliver this strikes. So even though they can't actually reach around and trap your arms, you can simulate that they have your arms trapped by simply not using them in your self defense. So from here we're gonna do two knee strikes. One. Two. Simulating strikes to the groin. Once they bend over, we switch our hands up here, to behind the neck and the shoulder. And now he's really bracing this thai pad. One. Two. And now we can practice again. One. Two. Here. One. Two. And then practice your retreat.
When an aggressor grabs you from the front with your arms trapped in, it can be frustrating because you have no arms to strike with. You can step back with one foot and deliver knee strikes to the groin. When the aggressor bends over from the pain, give a knee strike to the face and escape.
