    The trick to getting away from an assailant - even one who's bigger and stronger than you are - is to hit 'em where it hurts.
    Warning
    Fighting back against an assailant is risky and could lead to injury - only do so if you have no other choice.
    Step 1: Gouge their eyes
    Jab their eyes with your fingers, thumb, or a key: The attacker will instinctively try to protect their eyes, giving you a chance to escape. Even spitting at their eyes might give you the split second you need to break away.
    Tip
    Hold their ear with one hand as you jab their eyes with the other; it will help you inflict the damage you need to escape.
    Step 2: Take the wind out of them
    Spread your fingers away from your thumb and jam the webbed part of your hand against their windpipe; the heel of your hand can work, too. Or grab their windpipe with your fingers and squeeze as hard as you can. If you're in a position to use your elbow, ram that into their throat.
    Step 3: Bloody their nose
    Open your hand, pull it back, and then smash the heel of your palm under their nose in an upward motion. Besides making their nose bleed profusely, this will cause their eyes to water, temporarily limiting their vision.
    Step 4: Go for the groin
    If the attacker is male, grab his testicles and squeeze with all your might. If this isn't possible, knee him in the groin.
    Tip
    Never try to kick someone in the groin; it makes it possible for them to grab you by the foot or leg.
    Step 5: Bring them to their knees
    Kick them on the side of their kneecap; you'll inflict a lot of pain while minimizing the risk that they'll be able to grab your leg. If you find yourself behind your attacker, kick the back of their knee; there's a good chance it will cause them to collapse.
    Step 6: Step on their toes
    If someone grabs you from behind, raise your leg and then slam it down on their toes or instep. Besides inflicting pain, it may hinder their ability to run after you.
    Step 7: Raise a ruckus
    Make as much noise as you can; it increases the chance that your attacker will abandon you in favor of finding a more docile victim.
    Tip
    Safety experts recommend that you yell "Back off!" rather than "help," because people are inclined to ignore the latter.
    Step 8: Take a course
    Consider taking a self-defense course so you can practice and perfect these moves.
    Did You Know?
    Research shows that women who fight back during an assault avoid rape more often than those who don't.

    Here are some other techniques that help:-
    - jabbing with the pointed end of an umbrella
    - swinging a bag at them
    - jabbing a comb or pen under their nose or in their throat
    - spraying a bottle of spray into their face eg a spray cleaner
    - moving your head back quickly & suddenly if they grab you round the neck with their arm. This makes them dazed & unable to run after you
    - if they grab your throat with their fingers, grab them and twist them up and away. It'll probably break them.

    My father was on the Canadian Navy boarding team (boards boats to look for smuggled weapons) during the Bosnian Conflict was trained thoroughly in hand to hand combat and has always taught me to NEVER go for a crotch shot. Men instinctively protect this area and in protecting it can grab your hand (and even your knee) and throw you to the ground. They are also not always effective in bringing the attacker to the ground and can instead enrage them. Don't give them any more reasons to hurt you.

    that is what a thought, but a jujitsu expert told me otherwise, he says the real reason behind it is a pressure point at the top of the nose that when receiving the right amount of force is activated, and this is what knocks you out and in the worse case scenario if un-revived can kill you

    @LionEatingMan 15 років тому

    This is mostly correct. You probably wouldn't have enough spit, or accuraccy with spitting to spit in their eyes though. Kicking the groin is fine. If you bring the knee up first and retract at the knee, rather than kicking with your leg straight the whole time, the kick will probably be too fast for him to catch unless he is an exellent fighter or something. They neglegted to mention what to do if he tries to tackle you to the ground.
