8 Self-Defense Moves Every Woman Needs to Know
(healthline.com)
Self-defense is protection
“Walking home alone and feeling uneasy? Getting a weird vibe from a stranger on the bus? Many of us have been there.
“In a January 2018 survey of 1,000 women nationwide, 81 percent reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment, assault, or both in their lifetime.
“Verbal harassment was the most common form, but 51 percent of women said they were touched or groped in an unwelcome way, while 27 percent of women survived sexual assault.
“Even if you’ve personally never felt yourself in a situation that made you feel physically unsafe, having reassurance about your next steps (and what you can do to help yourself should the unfortunate circumstance ever happen) can make all the difference.
“A study from the University of Oregon found that women who participated in a self-defense class felt they:
- had better safety strategies in place
- were more equipped to deal with strangers, and people they know, in the context of potential assault or abuse
- had more positive feelings about their bodies
- had increased self-confidence
“Below are our top eight self-defense moves for women — complete with instructions — to help you feel empowered to defend yourself in any situation.”
Focus on your attacker’s vulnerable places: eyes, nose, throat, and groin. Aim all of the moves below at one or several of these areas to have maximum impact.
AVOID THE CHEST AND KNEES
Don’t aim for the chest, as that tends to be ineffective. Aiming for the knees requires a specific kick that can be too risky for the average person.
Use all of your force and aggression during execution. Make it known that you’re a powerful lady. Use your voice, too. Be loud to intimidate the attacker and create attention in case somebody is nearby.
1. Hammer strike
Using your car keys is one of the easiest ways to defend yourself. Don’t use your fingernails, because you’re more at risk to injure your hands.
Instead, if you feel unsafe while walking at night, have your keys stick out from one side of your fist for hammer strikes.

How to Escape a Physical or Sexual Assault
[Please read these VERY INFORMATIVE articles WITH ILLUSTRATIONS!!!!!]
By Joseph Bautista – Self-Defense Specialist, Martial Arts Instructor
“To prevent any type of attack, practice situational awareness and pay attention to your surroundings. When in public, look as far in front of you as you can, check your left, your right, and behind you. Make sure you don’t see anybody that is paying too much attention to you. Also, hone your verbal de-escalation skills by practicing phrases like “Sorry, I can’t help you” in various tones—polite, assertive, aggressive. Then, when you’re in a situation where that statement could help, you won’t freeze up because of the adrenaline.”
Take Someone Down
“When faced with an opponent, it may be necessary to take the person down in order to defend yourself. Many strategies provide effective ways to take someone down without extensive training. In wrestling, several moves are designed specifically to bring your opponent to the mat. If you find yourself being attacked by another person, using defensive techniques can neutralize your attacker and bring them down.”

What’s different about interpersonal violence for people with disabilities?
“While people with disabilities experience forms of interpersonal violence that are very similar to the experiences of people without disabilities, power and control are often exerted in specific ways based on a person’s disability or medical needs. Some forms of abuse a survivor with a disability may experience include:

What to Do if You are Attacked
“Resisting an attacker is perhaps the most important thing to do when you are being threatened or you are being attacked. If you resist an abuser who is trying to attack you, you are often able to avoid rape. Some people believe that trying to stop an abuser from raping you will only make the abuser angrier. The fact is that an abuser is already dangerous and resisting rape might allow you to get away because it can show the abuser that trying to rape you will be too much trouble.
It simply is not possible to know how you will react if an abuser tries to rape you. Some people become very angry and gain a strength they were not aware they had, while others feel as if they are unable to move. Remember that if you are raped it is not because you failed to defend yourself; rape is never, ever your fault. If an abuser attacks you or attempts to rape you do whatever you can to get away such as:
- Roll your wheelchair into the person as hard and fast as you can
- Scream, yell, make noise, or yell ‘NO!’ Shout as loud as you can ‘HELP!’
- Doing something the abuser finds disgusting such as spitting or drooling
- If you lose your balance easily, sit down to defend yourself and fight back
- Hit your attacker in the nose or the eyes, you can use your head to hit the attacker in the nose too
- Hurt the soft parts of the attacker’s body like their testicles, nose, eyes, or scratch, hit or kick them
- Throw dirt, pepper, or chili powder into the attacker’s eyes – it will blind them and cause them pain and may give you a chance to get away
- For people who use crutches or have weak legs, sit down or kneel and use your crutches to fight your attacker. Poke the end of the crutch towards the attacker as hard as you can.
“People who are blind may lose their bearing when an abuser attacks them. Interestingly, you can use the attacker’s own body to help you! Try to find the place where the attacker’s shoulder meets their neck, it is one of the easiest places to find quickly and it gives you good information about the rest of the attacker’s body. You then have the ability to hit the attacker in their soft spots.
“Ask a friend to help you practice finding the shoulder quickly as well as the tender spots of the body. A friend can also help you practice your skills with defending yourself. Practicing self-defense can help you to feel safer and more confident, even if you are never assaulted. Practice having a strong and assertive attitude and remember that even if you do not have the ability to defend yourself it is not your fault if you are attacked or raped.”

The Best Places to Hit An Assailant (Featured, Manly Skills, Tactical Skills, Visual Guides –
• June 8, 2018 • Last updated: October 5, 2020)
“Regardless of your level of training, one piece of know-how you should have deeply ingrained in your mind is where to direct your blows should you find yourself in an altercation. What places of your attacker’s body should you aim for if you’re looking to cause the most damage and get the most “bang for your buck”?
The best places to hit someone are the most sensitive parts of the body, including the eyes, ears, nose, and groin. But there are also many other spots where thick bones don’t protect the body’s super sensitive nerves and organs. Knowing multiple pressure points like this can help you fend off your attacker better because they won’t be able to protect all these vulnerable places at once.
The numbered list below correlates to the above illustration; keep in mind that striking these areas can cause serious injury or even death — only utilize such blows when you’re truly threatened with death or serious bodily harm. When you are though, the rules of polite society and even the sporting ring are thrown out the window; you must be willing to fight “dirty” and do what you must to incapacitate your assailant.”
1. Base of skull/neck – Also known as a rabbit punch, hitting someone at the base of the skull can cause spinal cord injuries. Punching this area is not to be taken lightly and used only as a last resort.
2. Kidneys – A successful kidney shot will deal a great amount of initial and lingering pain to a person’s back and abdominal area. Make sure to aim your shot up and under their rib cage for maximum effectiveness.
3. Tailbone – The tip of the tailbone is a small, sensitive bone. If struck with a hard shoe or boot at the right angle, it can easily break, sending waves of crippling pain into your attacker’s rear end, lower back, and legs.
4. Jaw hinge – Knocking someone here, just below the ear, can break their jaw and end most fights in an instant.
5. Side of neck – This classic chop spot isn’t just for kung fu movies. Give someone a stern hit to the side of the neck and carotid artery and you could hit the vagus nerve. When this nerve is struck, it can cause severe dizziness and possibly knock someone out.
6. Base of throat (trachea) – The trachea is one of the most sensitive spots on the body and should be treated with real respect. Even a light punch to the trachea can collapse a larynx and cause someone to choke. Strike this area only as a last resort and be aware of the consequences.
7. Armpit – A sharp fingertip punch to the armpit can deaden a person’s arm and leave them vulnerable to other attacks.
8. Solar plexus – The solar plexus is that soft spot between the bottom of your sternum and the top of your stomach. A strong kick or punch to the solar plexus will easily knock the wind out of someone.
9. Bladder – A bladder shot can cause extreme lingering pain and, if the assailant’s bladder is full, also force the discharge of urine.
10. Knees – The ligaments and tendons that hold a knee in place aren’t strong enough to withstand hard lateral movements. Kicking someone’s knee to the side can cause a tear that will disable any attacker.
11. Ankles – A good stomp to someone’s ankle can easily break the joint or the ligaments that hold it together, especially if you’re wearing heavy boots.
12. Groin – We all know what this can do.
13. Chin – Striking someone on the chin can knock someone out because it forces the head to twist so suddenly and severely that it rattles the brain.
14. Temple – Similar to a chin hit, a strong punch to a soft temple can cause extreme brain trauma that can easily knock someone unconscious.
15. Nose – It doesn’t take much to break a nose; as little as seven pounds of pressure will do it. The blood and pain that result will stop many opponents. Plus, a broken nose also activates a person’s tear ducts, causing even more disorientation.
16. Eyes – Hitting or gouging someone in the eyes is a last resort as it can permanently damage an attacker’s vision. But, even light gouging can force an ocean of tears that make it hard for him to see.

“While there is no such thing as a “pressure point” as depicted in the movies, there are certainly plenty of sensitive parts on the body that you can use to your advantage when you’re being attacked. Striking a vulnerable area on your opponent’s body can turn a fight in your favor by knocking them down, disarming them, or helping you gain control of their body. Major targets on your opponent’s body include the eyes, neck, knee, groin, and gut. Only hit an opponent in one of their sensitive areas if you’re being actively attacked, as hitting or kicking a vulnerable area can cause permanent damage and may even lead to death.”

Every potential predator should know that (as a Member of Papillon Z)
you know at least one of these moves, too!
DIM MAK – “TOUCH OF DEATH”
A martial arts teacher named Pai Mei kept his Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique secret from all of his students, except one. It is a death blow that once executed, kills any opponent after they have taken five steps. The move consists of a series of powerful jabs from the fingertips into five different pressure points on the victim’s body. Once finished, the victim is then allowed to walk away. However, once they take five steps, their heart literally explodes inside their body, killing them instantly.
The touch of death (or death-point striking) refers to any martial arts technique reputed to kill using seemingly less than lethal force targeted at specific areas of the body.
And as mentioned briefly in the preceding section for its appearances in East Asian popular culture, Dim Mak does in fact play a prominent role in “Kill Bill: Volume 2,” a 2004 American martial arts film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.
The concept known as dim mak (simplified Chinese: 点脉; traditional Chinese: 點脈; pinyin: diǎnmài; Jyutping: dim2 mak6; lit. ‘press artery’), alternatively diǎnxué (simplified Chinese: 点穴; traditional Chinese: 點穴) traces its history to traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. Tales of its use are often found in the Wuxia genre of Chinese martial arts fiction. Dim mak is depicted as a secret body of knowledge with techniques that attack pressure points and meridians, said to incapacitate or sometimes cause immediate or even delayed death to an opponent. Little scientific or historical evidence exists for a martial arts “touch of death”, although it has been confirmed that trauma may cause disproportionately catastrophic consequences when applied to known pressure points under specific circumstances.[1] Commotio cordis, for example, is an often lethal disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart (the precordial region), at a critical time during the cycle of a heart beat causing cardiac arrest.
The concept known as vibrating palm originates with the Chinese martial arts Neijing (“internal”) energy techniques that deal with the qi energy and the type of force (jin) used. It is depicted as “a technique that is part psychic and part vibratory, this energy is then focused into a wave”.[2]
The Real Dim Mak The Death Touch
Additional Reading
Dr. Michael Kelly has spent years studying the medical effects of dim mak and has found a great deal of medical research that provides evidence of dim mak’s lethal effects. He has compiled all of his research into a new book, which explains the effects of dim mak on the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Topics such as the delayed death touch, knockouts, and attacking the internal organs are explained in detail using modern medical science. The book has been written in a format that will assist one in finding the dim mak applications contained within the traditional forms of many styles.

(Excerpt: “Blows to the carotid sinus via stomach- 9 can damage or cause small tears on the inside of the carotid artery, which can cause blood clots leading to occlusion and subsequent stroke or death. Medical science has found that the plaques develop during childhood, so even young people are at some risk, albeit small, if a blow breaks off a piece of plaque which then travels to the brain.”
