Here are some self-defense techniques

Hammer Strike-
If you feel unsafe while walking at night, have your keys stick out from one side of your fist for hammer strikes.

Hold your key ring in a tight fist, like holding a hammer, with keys extending from the side of your hand. And then Thrust downward toward your target.

Groin Kick-
A groin kick delivers enough force to paralyze your attacker, making your escape possible.

Stabilize yourself as best you can. Lift your dominant leg off the ground and begin to drive your knee upward. Extend your dominant leg, drive hips forward, slightly lean back, and kick forcefully, making contact between your lower shin or ball of your foot and the attacker’s groin area.

Elbow Strike-
If the attacker is in close range and you’re unable to get enough momentum to throw a strong punch or kick, use your elbows.

Stabilize yourself with a strong core and legs to ensure a powerful blow.  Bend your arm at the elbow, shift your weight forward, and strike your elbow into your attacker’s neck, jawline, chin, or temple. These are all effective targets. This may cause your attacker to loosen their grip, allowing you to run.

Heel Palm Strike-
To execute this technique get in front of your attacker as much as it is possible. This move mainly causes damage to the nose or throat.

With your dominant hand, flex your wrist. Aim for either the attacker’s nose, jabbing upward from the nostrils, or underneath the attacker’s chin, jabbing upward at the throat. Make sure to recoil your strike. Pulling your arm back quickly will help thrust the attacker’s head up and back. This will cause your attacker to stagger backward, allowing you to escape their grasp.
