Question

Hi I am doing a Survey on women's Self Defense, what would be the first vital point u would sugggest a woman to strike at a rapist 1)eyes 2)throat 3)chest 4)stomach 5)testicles 6)knees...and please give reasons for ur answer..

Answer 1

well it shld be fairly obvious.the testicles will hurt like hell if u jab,giving u time to hightail outa there!the eyes will be effective too bcos if He cant see,he cant hurt u.for the throat,chest,stomach and knees,they could work but u hav to karate-chop em real good in case ur attacker is also a karate buff as well.but if u can lay ur hands on something to hit,sure u could disable the attacker by hitting the stomach,throat,knees or chest!but me?i'd castrate the bastard and blind his ***!!!!

Answer 2

I attended a course and was advised never to aim for the groin, because men value this area highly and are therefore very quick to react when it's threatened - therefore the chances of your landing a kick are low.

From the list you give, I would select eyes, with two fingers of one hand. Any person will flinch at that, which may give you time to escape.

However the best target is the shin or the top of the ankle, especially if you are wearing high heels. To be kicked on the shin is excruciating, and stamping on the top of the ankle can break it. Either kick, delivered hard, is likely to make your attacker fall and will slow him down if he tries to chase you. And because he can't see what you are trying to do, he isn't likely to avoid it.

Hi - I instruct mixed martial arts and fight skills to special forces

while the testicles hurt is often hard to land a blow there as men are very good at protecting that area! however once you land a few others that area becomes easy to atrget

Try flicking your fingers fast like a fan across the eye region - you are likely to scratch the eyes which will make it hard for the attacker to see and will distract him- if you can get your fingers or thumbs close enough and gouge hard and again scratch - follow up with a hard hit downwards onto the bridge of the nose or a punch upwards into his throat - I teach men to do this as a headbutt / punch combo but closed fist will work fine on his nose- follow up with a hard kick to the shins or ankle or inside of the knee area - then grab his shoulder and bring your knee up hard between his legs not once but at least twice - really pump it with all you have

at this stage he will be feeling rather uncomfortable - if he goes down on his knees kick hard and fast at his chest or back region

then to the kidneys (in the smal of his back)

at that stage you can usually run away without him chasing you

if he is still struggling kick him hard multiple times in the face and groin

remember he tried to attack you - dont hold back fight as if you mean to kill him - if you can get pieces of him under your fingernails for evidence - even better if you can rupture a testicle as the police will find him at hospital - rpeated strikes to the groin will do that

practice these basic moves in different combinations over and over and over until they are automatic
have a friend attack you when you are not expecting it

a big thing is to overcome the natural freeze reaction

Answer 4

I'd go for whatever is handy and never the same place in a row. I figure anything goes if I'm fighting for my life. And whatever I can prevent is a good thing. I try to walk with a lot of confidence, look like I am aware of and be aware of my surroundings, I don't listen to a walkman loud enough that I can't hear someone following me, no matter what time of day it is. That helps in prevention but the prior stuff helps once you're there.

As to RS, this person is highly ignorant and seeks to blame the woman and not the rapist for the rapist's behavior, it is now well known (obviously not in his time in the 1600s) that it doesn't matter how you dress, that does not make you more likely to be raped or attacked. What makes you more likely to be raped or attacked is not appearing that you have confidence and can take care of yourself if need be, and I'm not talking about muscles here ppl.

Answer 5

Whatever is open to hit. Do not lock yourself into one move. If his eyes are open take it, if it is the groin fine, the throat is good
(adams apple) with enough force . Strike what is given, that you can reach, and DO ENOUGH DAMAGE, to allow you to escape. Doubt if the Chest and Stomach would slow an attacker that is usually bigger. The best self defence tip is to always be aware of your surroundings and trust your sixth sense. If someone or something makes you uneasy, leave.

Answer 6

Try to never be alone in unfamiliar areas. Always take note of who is around you. Stay in well lit and traveled areas. If someone does attack, aim for the eyes, throat, nose, and groin. Punch, kick, scratch, bite, etc. Improvise w/ weapons (pen, pencil, car keys, etc.) Scream and yell the entire time. Make sure your attacks do not let up, overwhelm the attacker. Escape as quickly as you can and call the police or seek help.

Answer 7

Testicles. Its the first sensitive area many people think of, so it would be the quickest response.

I actually think the eye is a much better choice. Its close, its fragile, and blinded the guy definitely helps your getaway. Though, the idea of poking my finger in a guys eye disgusts me. I know digust should not be a factor when it comes to defending your safety, but I cant help it. Its repulsive and I can see it causing other women to hesitate.

So that is why I choose Testicles are the first area, and Eyes as the second.

Answer 8

I guess that would depend on the situation and to what she has immediate access to do the most harm. I'd say that if she has access to all those vital points mentioned, definitely go for the testicles. Being a guy, I know what that's like, and there's not much he would be able to do before she was able to get away.

Answer 9

I except that this situation should not come in any girls life. If it comes Always be prepared mentally to hit any body in this type of situation first point is that you should hit his eyes that is the easy and very fast procedure put your two fingers in his eyes with lot of pressure even if he closes his eyes he should get hurt badly so that he cant open his eyes and second point to attack his testicles and push him down and give a kick in his stomach.
It is better to keep some tamarind powder(mirch) with you always.

Answer 10

anywhere she can...

in a situation like that, you do not have time to think and remember where to hit an attacker. You will be in fight or flight mode.

Keep anything between you and the attacker.. being 1. space. 2. your voice (scream) 3. your hands 4. an object.

Answer 11

Testicles. Ive been kicked in the balls numerous times, and NOTHING compares to having been kicked in the balls, but then again, I haven't been shot. But im sure the balls would hurt more.

The reason: If you had balls you would know. I dont care if a 300 lb guy that's trained as a NAVY SEAL came at you, if you get him in the balls, he's going down!
