Every morning when you grab the newspaper with a cup of tea you can find at least one news of rape or domestic violence on women or molestation. When don’t we heard about women, facing sexual harassment, getting attacked by strangers, getting raped, getting tortured by their loved one? Sadly these things have become quite natural in our country. So it is high time every women should learn self defense to protect themselves, instead of labeling these tortures as “normal”.
The right of self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.
James Monroe

TECHNIQUES OF SELF DEFENSE
In this case one have to remember the attackable and weak spots, which can make the attacker a bit weak. No matter sow strong or they are, hitting on these spots will make them weak. Those are- NOSE, EARS, EYES, THROAT, GROIN.
1. Kick the groin

Hitting on the groin can be a fight ender. Stand firmly in front of the attacker. Place the leg with which you will attack, behind you. Then with all the power and speed kick your leg straight out to the groins. If the attacker is closer, you can use you knee to hit his groins.
2. Heel palm strike

This defense move can damage attackers nose and throat. To perform it you have to go in front of the attacker as much as possible. Aim for attackers nose or jaw, jabbing them upward. Pull your hand back quickly after the move. This will cause much damage to the person and you will get time to escape.
3. Elbow strike

If the attacker in close to you and can not get the momentum to punch on his face, in that case you can use your elbow. Bend your arm at the elbow, move your weight forward and then strike your elbow to his chin, jawline or neck. It will make the attacker to loose their grip and you can run from there.
4. Ear slap
First of all try to distract the attacker by asking questions like- “who are you?” or “what do you want”. Open your palms and then in a swift mode and then cup your hand and slam them on the attackers eras. A perfectly done ear slap can knock out the person.
