“The groin is always a popular attack point, because it causes a male severe pain.” There was a snigger around the room, one of the ladies in the front row was licking her lips. I wanted to slap her, hard! Better still I wanted to slap both her ears at the same time and poke my fingers into her Trachea. I found myself glaring at her.
“If you are being attacked from the front and he has your shoulders pinned, a swift kick up into the groin with the top of your foot as hard as you can, will be effective, or if he is closer, a hard knee up into the groin can be just as successful. If you are able to grab his ears when you do this, it will one, give you more control and balance when kneeing him and two, cause pain in a second area at the same time. Now, as you are aware, men will not always attack from the front, in fact attacking from behind is more likely as it enables them the element of surprise. If your attacker has you from behind in a bear hug, there are many things you can do to break this hold, you can simply step to the side and perform a Hammer-Punch down into the groin like this.” He demonstrates his arm being raised to his shoulder with a clenched fist, then swung down and hard behind him, he walks up behind me and whispers.
“Don’t even think about making contact!” Is that a threat Mr Clark? This was a good opportunity for revenge but I thought about his words and he had the power to make me squirm at the best of times, so I thought I would obey. He grabbed me hard from behind, I stepped to the side and swung my arm down firm and fast stopping just in time to gently brush his penis. I couldn’t help but keep my hand resting there. He twitched ever so slightly, I couldn’t move and I don’t think he wanted to move either, after seconds had elapsed he cleared his throat and stepped to my side.
“Instead of a Hammer-Punch you could also grab the groin with force, squeeze really hard and pull your handful forward.” The licking lips lady smiled and battered her eyes. That’s it Bitch it’s on, you and me, right here right now.
“Can everyone grab a partner please? The women all shuffled around until they were paired up.
“Good, finally I want to demonstrate how to break a head hold, one of the most common ways a man will grab you is by the head. When you restrain the head you are gaining control of most of your victim’s body, which is why attackers tend to grab your head first. Now facing Alexis, I’m going to grab the back of her head.” He placed his hand quite firmly on the back of my head and looked me straight in the eyes.
“Your attacker will try to lower your head as it enables him to gain the control that he’s after. I want you to push back against his hand and keep the control yourself. Now ladies on the left will be the attackers and the ladies on the right, the victims.” They all moved into position.
“Good, attackers you are going to grab your victims at the back of their head with the intention to bring their head closer to you or with the intention to lower it, victims are going to push back with their head. Before you do this, do not put too much strength into your moves, we don’t want any injuries, use just enough force to allow you to feel how to perform the manoeuvre, Alexis and I will demonstrate first.” He looked at me and nodded.
“Are you ready? Push back against my pull on your head.” He replaced his hand on the back of my head and I automatically wrenched my head up and back, I don’t think he anticipated my strength, he smiled in surprise and kept his grip.
“The next thing you need to do is break his hold once you have somewhat of a control over your head. You can perform many of the soft spot tactics I mentioned before or, if he has grabbed you with his left arm, you can swing your right arm around to hit him in the elbow joint with your palm, to break his hold on your head and vice a versa if he has used his right arm. Hitting an attacker with force on the elbow joint is always a good defensive move to try at any point as the elbow is weak. Now as you hit him in the elbow turn slightly in the direction you have hit his arm in, this allows the grip to release easier on your head.” Releasing my head he came round behind me, he stood right up against my back and this time his twitch was not so gentle, it sent tingles up and down my spine, his close proximity sent my body into a frenzy. He picked up my arm ever so gently and like I was a puppet under his command swung my arm round in a swift punching motion.
“Just like that,” he motioned to the class and performed the move with my arm again.
“Everybody got that? Good, now Alexis are you ready?” This time I was the one smirking at him, he grabbed the back of my head and I instantly jerked up and back, I quickly swung my arm around and hit him directly in the elbow joint forcing his grip away from my head. I then finger jabbed his Trachea, but not too hard, enough to catch him by surprise though. That felt great! Revenge achieved. Take that Mr Use me as a guinea pig Clark. He grabbed his elbow with his other arm, then rubbed his throat and bending over slightly, looked up at me in shock. Shit, did I hurt him? He gave his arm a shake.
