The Awkward Hug©️ Demo!
How do you get out of uncomfortable physical contact with someone you know, work with, or love?
Welcome to my demonstration of what I call The Awkward Hug©! This works with hugs, arms around the shoulder or other types of unwanted physical contact.
This is often the most remembered part of my keynotes and workshops that discuss boundary setting. People come up to me months or years later to share how they have used this in their relationships or daily lives and are grateful to have these skills so they can be empowered to assert their boundaries.
You don't owe your body, time, or space to ANYONE. You can set boundaries, even with people we know and love. I dig into the complexities of this during my sessions so that everyone can leave with applicable strategies.
Want to learn more? Ready to bring this empowerment to your group or workplace? Contact me today!

    I would think that a snap kick would be effective, however it has to be done accurately or you can miss the target. With a knee you have a much greater chance hitting his nuts (balls) plus the knee is bony which will cause him even much more pain to disable him!

      You're welcome! You carry the bag with you until you are back at the trailhead and most have a disposal container where you can toss it. Most trails that require the WAG bags have infrastructure in place to help people dispose of it afterwards. Great question! I'm glad I could help!

    Hiii what if the attacker has an erection during this attack? Would knees and kicks still be effective? I was attacked as a freshman in college and remember during the attack I wouldn’t be able to connect with his unit because it was pointed up and out in his shorts (I ended up getting away anyway but curious as to your thoughts)

      @Nicole_Snell 11 місяців тому

      Mandy, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you in college. Thank you for your courage for sharing that with me here. I hope you know that it wasn't your fault. To address your question, the body part we are targeting with a knee strike or snap kick, are the testicles (if the attacker is a man.) The testicles are more sensitive than the penis and are available with an "up and under" strike regardless if the attacker has an erection.

    Or, hear me out. Firearm training. Best defense oorion to be able to disable the threat at a distance. And learn knife combat if they get close. Lastly, realize that depending on your build, you cannot physically protect yourself from someome or something that is bigger than you, and truly wants to cause harm to you. So I repeat. Firearm.

    • @Nicole_Snell
      @Nicole_Snell Рік тому

      The WAG brand I was using had directions on the outside that advised not to get liquid into the bag. However, on further research I found that liquid is needed to activate the powder that helps to degrade the waste and control the odors. As a backpacker, I would personally avoid getting a lot of urine inside because of leakage concerns. However, in some environments, there is no other option other than to use the WAG for that too. I hope that helps!

When delivering a knee to the groin, make believe you're trying to bring your knee to the ceiling. Whenever I give a woman this tip, I warn her that her attacker may vomit on her before hitting the ground, because she's striking through her target. But anyway, did you join the Marine Corps and learn all these combat moves?
