3. If someone is trying to rob and attack you in the house, head to the kitchen

Naturally, first of all, you should call the emergency rescue service (112). Only you know where there are knives, breakable plates and spices that can become potential weapons. If all else fails, start yelling and throwing kitchen utensils to create noise and alert your neighbors.

4. If someone tries to attack you on the street, do not stand still

Physical training for women

According to police statistics, 95 rapes out of 100 are committed under the roof - in the entrance, in the elevator, in the victim's apartment, etc. Attacks on the street are extremely rare - it is not at all easy for a rapist to fill up a victim in a puddle in the middle of the street in front of passers-by and under the windows of houses. Most often, street rapes occur in vacant lots, in dark corners of parks and other similar places. Again, the conclusion is simple: never, even during the day, take such a dangerous route.

Almost the most common tactic of a rapist is to choose a victim on the street, escort her to her house, enter the entrance with her and pounce on her there. Two more private types of attack are practically variants of the first:
1) the rapist gets into the elevator with his victim (therefore, women should not get into the elevator with strangers or unknown men; if such a person enters the elevator on one of the intermediate floors, the woman should immediately leave);
2) the rapist escorts the victim to the door of her apartment or waits for her in advance on the landing, and if the woman unlocks the door with her key (this most likely means that no one is at home), the rapist waits until she opens the door, then pushes her into the apartment and follows.

Safety regulations:
1. If you are not a professional athlete, you should resort to self-defense only when you can count on someone else's help.
2. If you are being followed, change the route several times so that the perpetrator goes astray. Avoid being followed all the way to your home, especially if you live alone or in a deserted area. It is better in this case to call relatives or friends and ask to be met, or take a taxi.
3. Returning home late at night, do not stand long in front of front door When looking for keys, it's best to have them on hand.
4. If there is an intercom in your entrance, do not let strangers and unfamiliar people in with you, sharply close the door in front of them. If a person goes to someone in your doorway, it will not be very difficult for him to dial a number. Excessive caution in our time does not hurt, and a normal man will understand this.
5. Always walk on crowded streets.
6. Never enter your apartment if you think it has been broken into and someone might be inside.
7. When returning from work or school, mark for yourself passing places where you can be helped, where you can hide: offices, shops that work until late, houses where people go to bed late.
8. Think about how you carry your car keys. Do you hold the keys in your dominant hand, with which you will protect yourself in case of emergency? Learn to open the car with the other hand (if you are right-handed - left, respectively, if you are left-handed - right).
9. Going anywhere, do not be too lazy to throw hairspray, deodorant into your purse, or, which will be even more effective, buy a pepper spray. A jet directed at the attacker's eyes causes shock. It is very important not to confuse the direction of the nozzle, so as not to splash into your eyes.

If the attack happened. A few tricks that can affect the psychology of a man:
1. If you are hoping for someone's help, you need to buy time by offering the "aggressor" something to eat or drink, to go to a more suitable place for the implementation of his plan. You can also tell him about feeling unwell, menstruation, pregnancy, sexually transmitted or other contagious disease. We must try to arouse compassion or sympathy, remembering, however, that crying can cause a backlash. Pretend that you are complying with his demands, and when he relaxes, act ruthlessly by sticking your fingers in his eyes or nose, kneeing him in the groin, hand or elbow.
2. If the place is deserted and there is nowhere to run, and the opponent is strong or threatens with a weapon, do not irritate him or insult him. Think about whether it is worth risking your life, because if there is nowhere to wait for help, and you yourself cannot cope with the rapist, your inept opposition can anger him.
3. Some abusers assume that the victim will try to change the situation in some way, such as pushing away or begging for mercy. If you are in a place where people can appear at any moment, you can feign fainting, because by completely "falling out" you deprive the criminal of the main pleasure and, moreover, gain time.
4. If the attack is committed in the entrance or near the house, and you know the names of the residents of the nearest apartments, shout, addressing them by name: "Vasya, Petya, help - we're on fire! Fire! Seryozha, call the firemen, call the police!". Unfortunately, in our time, hearing the cries of "Help, they are robbing. They are killing," people most often prefer not to interfere.
5. Rapists can expect anything, but not a violent rebuff and aggression from the victim, so you can try to turn the situation on its head, making the maniac feel that he will now become your victim, and not vice versa. Maniacs are usually cowardly and with a set of complexes of a man, so if you play your part well, most likely he will run away from you with his heels sparkling. Hardened criminals and murderers should be distinguished from this kind of rapists - this technique will anger them even more.
6. Try to fake nausea. Having played on the rapist's squeamishness, act quickly and ruthlessly.

Self defense tricks:
Having decided to engage in battle, one should attack the enemy so that after that he no longer poses any kind of threat. Otherwise, having enraged the attacker with attempts to resist, he, most likely, will simply start beating his victim, and already without discounts for belonging to the "weaker sex".
1. Punches to the groin. Capture of the scrotum. Such a blow The best way make a man let you go, because he reflexively lowers his arms to protect his reproductive organs. However, it should be taken into account that in case of failure, this method of defense can infuriate the enemy, so that, freed from the capture, one must run - and quickly.

• hand. With a folded "boat" palm, the side surface of the fist from the side of the thumb in the same way as they hit with a knife from the bottom up if the enemy is facing you. If the enemy is behind you, holding your throat or hair, hit the attacker with all your might in an arc down and back with the edge of your palm or the base of your fist, and with a significant difference in height - with your elbow. Another option: pretend that you yourself are not averse to having fun with a maniac, and when the rapist exposes the reproductive organ, strongly squeeze the scrotum with your hand, pulling it towards you or twisting it towards you and to the side with force.
• foot. If the enemy is clearly higher and a swing is possible, hit with all your strength in the groin from the bottom up, at the same time pulling his clothes or shoulders down with your hands. If you are about the same height, squat down, bending your knees, pulling your pelvis back, and then, straightening up sharply, strike. The blow must come from below.

2. Poke with a pinch into the chest cavity. Pinch the fingers of your dominant hand (all fingers together, fingertips touching each other) and poke hard into the chest cavity from top to bottom or bottom to top (depending on the offender's height) at a 45-degree angle. This technique causes severe coughing, watery eyes, sometimes bleeding in the throat and fainting. The blow is applied if the opponent's throat is open. Also, a sharp poke with a pinch to any part of the face can cause bleeding or pain shock.
3. A blow with the little finger and the edge of the palm on the upper lip or nose. This technique is easy to disguise. Fold your hands in front of your chest - palm to palm, as if begging with a gesture to spare you. This gesture should not alert the criminal. Now slowly move your fingers right hand to the base of the palm of the left. Thumb left hand covers the little finger of the right. With a draw, strike the opponent's upper lip or nose with the little finger, pressed against the other four fingers, and with the edge of the palm of your hand. The movement itself is as if you are brushing off the dirt with one palm with the other. A blow, as a rule, causes pain shock.
4. Blow to the ears. Fold both palms in a "boat" and with force, sharply hit the opponent's ears. Causes pain shock, sometimes rupture of the eardrum. If it didn’t work, grabbing the opponent’s ears with both hands, with a helical movement - sideways, towards you, down - twist the criminal’s head until he is on the floor.
5. Kick on the leg. If your feet are wearing shoes or boots with a heel, even a very small one, the following technique will do. Slightly raising the toe of the foot, forcefully apply a trampling blow with the heel to the instep of the opponent's foot (you can also hit the toes). It is unlikely that the rapist will be able to stand on this leg within the next half hour. If your shoes have a strong, not very elongated toe, they can strike the lower third of the opponent's shin.
6. A poke in the eye. The thumbs of both hands are stuck into the eyes of the rapist (you should strive to stick them inside the eye socket to the very membrane between the thumb and forefinger), and the remaining fingers cling to the corner of the enemy’s lower jaw just below the ears and press against the movement thumbs. The enemy is almost guaranteed to fail for several minutes, or even hours (however, he can remain blind for life - but this is his problem, the law will definitely be on the side of the woman). If for some reason you cannot cope with the enemy, you can, without releasing his face from your hands, hit him with all your might against the wall, if there is one behind him.
7. Knocking down a choke hold. If the opponent is facing you and squeezing his throat to loosen his grip, blows to the eyes, nose, throat of the criminal will help. Then, simultaneously with your shoulder and forearm (if the enemy holds you with your left hand, then you need to shoot down with your left shoulder), fall on the attacker's hand, knock down the grip from top to bottom.
8. Knocking down the grip from the hand. If, when trying to escape, the criminal managed to grab your hand, take a step forward and, as it were, hang on your arm, transfer your body weight to the front leg, and hit the pursuer with your foot in the thigh with the second. Apply another blow, turning around, backhand with a relaxed brush across the face.
9. Female punch. Let's practice first. Take an ordinary glove in your hand and, turning sideways a little, throw it sharply forward. In this case, the elbow will go first, and then, from the bottom up, the brush. The throw will turn out, as it were, with a pull, with a whip. The movement is reminiscent of hitting a "closed" racket in table tennis. The hand and forearm fly in a given direction absolutely relaxed. The blow can be applied both with the back of the hand, and with the cosons of the fingers, as well as with the edge of the palm.

Remember, while the enemy is still breathing, while he is moving, you must not lose vigilance! Even a knocked out, unable to rise from the ground enemy cannot be turned back!

How to help your companion in a street robbery or fight.
1. You are threatened with a weapon. There are two bandits. One put a knife to your companion's throat. The biggest surprise for the criminal is the knocking out of the weapon. Moreover, robbers do not expect serious resistance from a woman. The blow is applied with a biting, relaxed brush to the point under the wrist joint (where the pulse is felt). Then apply the above techniques, and your companion also gets the opportunity to become the master of the situation.
2. A fight broke out. The bandits forgot about you. Once behind an opponent who is fighting with your companion, use the strap from your bag as a loop. Throw it around the enemy's neck and pull it down towards you using your body weight. At the same time, do not hold on to the bag with your hands, but to the strap, because the most fragile place is the fastening of the strap to the bag. Another variant. You are behind the enemy. Grasp the strap, and strike with the bag itself. Here the principle of the whip is used. Parallel to the floor (if the bag is heavy - even touching the floor), a whipping movement is made along a trajectory resembling a question mark. The bag braids the opponent's supporting leg, you pull the strap towards you and the bandit falls. It is very important to grab the supporting leg and pull it sharply towards you.

There will be no sense if you just read this article and forget about it. All techniques must be tried on yourself. Find pain points on yourself and remember their location, and then with someone else just work out the movements and remember them. Be carefull.

To become more enduring, someone - to pump up muscles, someone - to lose weight. Many techniques can be useful for street self-defense. Which ones, we learned from Ilya Suprunenko, master trainer of the X-Fit federal network, martial arts coordinator.

“All the self-defense techniques that we will analyze today are perfect for repelling an unexpected attack,” says Ilya Suprunenko. “But remember: applying them without careful study is not only difficult, but also unsafe. So you can only hurt yourself. It can be easy to learn this or a self-defense technique, but to work it out, bringing it to automatism, it takes months.

And even if you are fluent in these techniques, remember: for a girl, the main thing is not to knock out the offender, but simply repel the attack and run away.

Self defense techniques for girls

Situation: they want to grab you.

What to do. Get the attacker off balance. To do this, use a very effective and painful blow to the inside or outside of the thigh. Apply it with a sweep of the middle part of the lower leg.

Advice. When defending yourself from an attack, do not take positions that could hint to the enemy that he has contacted a "fighting" girl. On the contrary, make some kind of distracting gesture.

Situation: the attacker moves towards you at a fast pace.

What to do. You need a sudden stop motion. Kick your opponent in the solar plexus area. Not only is this a painful blow, it can take your breath away. And this is very beneficial for the girl: you have time to escape.

Situation: they try to grab you by the shoulders.

What to do. Grab the neck of the attacker with your hands, gathering them into a strong castle. Give him swipe knee under the ribs.

Situation: you are kicked.

What to do: Grab the attacker's leg as he tries to hit you and knock out his pivot leg with your foot.

Advice: very sore spot on the body - inner part hips. By pressing into this place with an enemy piled on his back, you can either additionally hit him with your hand, or quickly retreat.

In we discussed a training program to increase strength and endurance, as well as ways to practice striking technique and increase agility. Next, we will discuss the “mean and cruel” self-defense techniques that are prohibited in martial arts, but are quite suitable for a street fight, self-defense tools, and the psychology of behavior that will help not only protect yourself on the street, but also avoid conflict altogether.

Forbidden self-defense techniques: "cruel and vile" ways to neutralize the enemy

They are called forbidden because they are really forbidden in martial arts due to their high lethality. However, as they say, "in war, all means are good." We have identified four tough self-defense techniques - blows that should be developed to automatism:

• (hands, feet, teeth, whatever). The groin area is endowed with a large number of nerve endings, which makes it an extremely vulnerable and painful place when striking. There were cases when blows to the groin area were fatal.
• Hitting the ears with palms(simultaneously on both sides). Such a blow is very dangerous, like blows to the groin, can lead to death. A blow to the ears is usually combined with a simultaneous blow to the groin with a knee. The effect is just fantastic. But be careful, the law may not be on your side.
• Eye poke. Also, not a weak reception, the enemy can be made disabled. The eyes are generally not protected by anything and this makes them easy prey. Such blows are usually very painful and capable of incapacitating the opponent for a long time.
• Strike in the Adam's apple. Such a blow can knock down the opponent's breath, incapacitate and even kill. Adam's apple cannot be pumped up or strengthened, but you need to be able to hit it. Also, it is allowed to grab the Adam's apple with your fingers, which is also very painful.

These are the main points on which it is worth working in emergency situations. There are more options and particulars, but this is more than enough.

Special means of self-defense: what will be in the hands at the right time

Now let's talk about acceptable self-defense equipment and other items that can be used to protect yourself on the street, without breaking the law. By breaking the law, we mean not being allowed to carry it.

1. Gas spray

It is inexpensive. It is effective only at a distance of up to three meters, then it is strongly sprayed. A completely legal means of self-defense. Do not use spray-type pepper spray indoors, otherwise you risk inhaling too. For entrances and other enclosed spaces, special jet cans are sold that shoot a jet of pepper liquid.

2. Taser

Enough useful thing, a good help to protect yourself in the street. A stun gun can knock out even an experienced lumpen. The main thing is to be able to apply correctly, and not close the discharge on yourself during the struggle. Therefore, you need to use the stun gun carefully, and after neutralizing the enemy, immediately move to a safe distance.

3. Air gun

On the Internet, it is often seen as a means of self-defense. However, these are just wet dreams of couch warriors. An air pistol has a weak damaging effect, so we do not recommend using such things. They can take it away, especially if there are several opponents, and put it in ... In short, we do not recommend it.

4. Gas pistol

It all depends on the model and manufacturer. Sometimes there are worthy specimens. But gas weapons require a permit, which is troublesome. In addition, according to the law, they carry a gas pistol without a magazine - you may not have time to use it. The gas pistol is designed for the effect of fright and damage to the eyes and mucous membranes. If the enemy closes with his hand, then the shot will not stop him.

5. Traumatic pistol

Permission is even more difficult to obtain than for gas weapons. In self-defense, you can only shoot at certain parts of the body, which is sometimes ineffective. There are models that have a fairly strong stopping effect, but then you have to explain to the police. Carrying rules - the chamber is empty, the magazine is in a pistol or separately (the second is more desirable, from the point of view of the police). That is, for use, you must at least be able to extract and send a cartridge - and this is training. If in a situation of self-defense on the street they take away such a thing from you, the matter may end badly, and obviously not for your offenders.

6. Yawara

This is not a special tool, but we really like it. Yawara, or "Palm stick" came to us from Japan. Yawara is actually a stick, sharpened at the ends. Sometimes a strap is attached to it to fix it on the arm. At first glance, it is a primitive thing, but it has established itself as a serious percussion weapon. Of course, you will need to practice in order to learn how to use it correctly, but at least the cost is minimal and completely legal.

7. Knife

But the knife is a very controversial means for self-defense. In general, we categorically do not recommend carrying knives for self-defense, especially large ones. To protect yourself on the street using a knife, you need to have. In the wrong hands, a knife can become a threat to whoever tries to use it.

Police officers will definitely not be delighted with self-defense with a knife. Even if you use improvised means for self-defense, a pistol for which there is a permit, pepper spray or a shocker, then this can be explained. But society does not treat people with knives kindly. Thus, from a defender, you can turn into an attacker and be discredited in the eyes of the representatives of the law.

You can still list all sorts of improvised self-defense tools that are not forbidden to be worn and can be used to protect yourself on the street. For example: nails, screwdrivers, forks, steel balls from large bearings, etc. If you want to study in more depth this topic, then you can read the book by A. Taras “ Fighting machine or something more modern. And we will move on and move on to psychological aspects self defense.

The psychology of self-defense: how to protect yourself on the street without getting into a fight

Remember that the best fight is the fight that never happened. We don't remember who said it, but it's a fact. Despite all the preparation, strength and coolness - and this will be the highest point of professionalism. Here are some tips for avoiding physical conflict:

• Try not to go to hot places unnecessarily, this will reduce the risk of getting into an unpleasant situation.
• Lumpens rarely pick on people who look confident. Pick the right image for you proper clothes gives self-confidence. With a good selection of clothes. Even from the last squishy one can visually make a serious guy.
• If you are spoken to, try to speak clearly and confidently. Stuttering speech, lack of specificity in words and a trembling voice will betray your fear.
• Try to look the interlocutor in the face, otherwise they will think that you are weak. You cannot look directly into the eyes - look at the point on the forehead between the eyes, visually it will seem to the interlocutor that you are looking into his eyes. But in general, it’s better to proceed from specific circumstances - it happened when a look “exactly between the eyes”, on the contrary, provoked a fight.
• When hiking late, never listen to music with headphones - that's you.
• Always evaluate the events taking place around you. Try to play in your mind different situations and their outcome. Let's say you see a crowd of young strong guys - imagine what you will do if they come up to you, how you will answer their questions and where to run away if necessary.
• Once again, do not respond to provocations. There are situations when they can swear at you or call you bad names, if you understand that by keeping silent, you will be able to avoid danger - keep silent.
• When walking down the street, look straight ahead. Of course, you need to evaluate what is happening around, but this can be done with peripheral vision. No need to look around, this can encourage marginal layers to act and give you a reason to stick to you.
• Carry self-defense equipment with you, wear it correctly and know how to use it! At first glance, the advice is banal. But in fact, there were cases when a pepper spray was not at hand at the right time (it lies at home on a shelf). Or it was hidden so deep in the backpack that it was possible to forget about the use. A person, having bought, for example, a traumatic pistol, already experiences a sense of satisfaction and psychologically feels protected. But for some reason he doesn’t think about options and scenarios for possible self-defense. Therefore, it is important not just to buy a self-defense tool, but to think about how best and more convenient to carry it with you in order to have quick access to it, how to remove it, how to use it. Do some workouts. And only then the remedy will help at a critical moment.

There are a lot of tips, tricks and recommendations on the psychology of self-defense. But they will not help protect yourself on the street if you behave imprudently. Just be careful and evaluate the situation around you. Sometimes it's better to be paranoid than to be crippled or dead.

Good luck and take care!

Unfortunately, street crime is quite a typical phenomenon for domestic reality. You can disagree with this as much as you like, but it is much better to disagree, remaining ready for any scenario. Up to open aggression for the purpose of robbery, rape, for reasons of racial, religious, personal hatred.

There are many options, but each of them requires an adequate response to the threat. Earlier, we already considered the rules of safety on the street and focused on the fact that the best option the development of the conflict - without assault, even if it means sacrificing one's pride and simply taking flight.

However, there are situations when there is simply no way out, and the only way out is forced self-defense. And it’s good if, in such circumstances, the victim is technically prepared and will be able to use self-defense without a license or, for example, traumatic weapon. But this is really far from always and not everywhere. Much more often, the only arguments are strength, dexterity, reaction, knowledge of how and what to do to neutralize the attacker. And it is with the latter that the Survival website offers help - your guide to behavior in extreme situations.

THE TASK OF SELF-DEFENSE TECHNIQUES

In previous articles, we have already addressed this issue, but we will focus on it again. It is important for any person to understand what self-defense on the street is and what its main task is. So, the goal of the victim is not to punish the attacker and, moreover, not to inflict serious injuries on him. No one has canceled the provisions of the criminal code on exceeding the necessary self-defense. Actions should be aimed at temporarily neutralizing the offender and giving yourself time to retire to a safe distance. Only and everything. There are several ways to do this most effectively:

• Pain impact
• Blindness
• Lost orientation stun
• immobilization

Particular attention should be paid to physically and technically prepared people. The actual limits of self-defense are something that should always be remembered. So, for example, many martial arts that are effective on the street allow you to give the enemy an inadequate rebuff. A common thing in such cases is a fracture of the jaw, arm, ribs, rupture of the liver, spleen, lung, concussion and other serious consequences of a fight, up to a fatal outcome. But is ordinary self-defense on the street worth mutilating the aggressor like that, if you can just temporarily neutralize him in more humane ways? Or even simpler: make it clear that it is better not to mess with you.

IMPACT TECHNIQUES IN SELF DEFENSE

Any striking technique - with hands, feet, knees, elbows - is the most familiar way of both attacking and defending without a weapon. But if we are talking about such a specific concept as personal self-defense, then the usual massacre has a lot of disadvantages. Firstly, any blows require a certain strength and at least an approximate correspondence to the physical parameters of the attacker. So, for example, it's hard to imagine how a girl can knock out a big young man. Secondly, in hand-to-hand combat there is a big risk of getting injured yourself. The main rule of striking is confidence in their effectiveness. If there is any doubt that it will be possible to neutralize the enemy with one or two hits, it is better not to get into a fight. Yourself is more expensive.

As mentioned earlier, methods hand-to-hand combat in self-defense, this is not a way to injure an opponent, but only ways to have a painful and stunning effect on him. From this we can derive several simple tricks that are effective in use even by inexperienced fighters:

- for a person with low weight and modest preparation, it is good to strike with the hands in the region of the bridge of the nose, at the base of the jaw, in the ear. An accentuated knee strike to the groin, a strong clapping of the palms on the ears can temporarily immobilize the opponent.

- as already mentioned, the object of attack with more or less serious preparation should be careful with physical impact. For him, open palm strikes to the face are best suited, which do not cause injury, but have good stunning power. Punches or kicks to the solar plexus are always good, which are guaranteed to disable the enemy for several tens of seconds. A strong low-kick (side kick on the thigh muscle) quickly and safely cools the heat.

SELF-DEFENSE GRIPS AND PAINFUL TECHNIQUES

Pain pointsAccording to experts, grips and painful self-defense techniques are perhaps the most effective method protection. With their help, even a noticeably larger and stronger opponent can be neutralized relatively easily without a great risk of seriously injuring him. On the other hand, the use of painful techniques requires some technical training. Only quick practiced movements can take the attacker by surprise, make a successful grab and put the criminal out of action. Top Schools martial arts that allow you to perform these actions effectively and naturally are aikido, jiu-jitsu, sambo and some other areas.

The following types of painful techniques are most often used in practice:

• Painful techniques on the hand, fingers
• Grips and pain techniques on the elbow joint, collarbone
• Impact on pain points under the lower jaw, on the neck, bridge of the nose

Speaking of grips, one cannot help but recall the suffocating techniques. Of course, their effectiveness is quite high, but such grips should be used very carefully. Excessive force can be fatal.

THROWS, PUSHES, TRIPS

AT modern form throws, pushes, sweeps are difficult to consider separately. Most often, such techniques are used in close conjunction with grips, painful techniques, and even percussion techniques. But, in any case, their effectiveness for self-defense is very high. Contrary to common misconception, properly executed technical throws are effective even against taller and heavier opponents. A well-executed technique allows you to achieve several goals at once. Firstly, hitting a hard surface well discourages the desire to continue the confrontation. Secondly, if desired, this very moment is very good for flight or retreat. Thirdly, a prone and dazed opponent is an ideal target for strikes and submissions. The same goes for pushes that can throw the attacker off balance.

Naturally, such self-defense techniques, like many others, require special training, reaction and dexterity. On the other hand, no one said it would be easy. And if there were simple and, at the same time, effective rules behavior in self-defense, then this issue would not be so acute.

SUMMARY

The main idea that follows from the above recommendations is that effective techniques self-defense are very diverse and, in any case, require serious training. What we advise everyone to do. In addition to practical benefits, any martial art is good sport for general physical development and recovery.
