Women's Self-defense Technique - Man Pinning Both Wrists in Mount Position

[@Onotail]

When I was attacked by a man I did not allow him to know my strength. I knew he would overcome me at my strongest point, so I became quite limp, this reduced the pressure he placed on my arms with his grip so they did not hurt as much. He became concentrated on his next move and at that point I struck and wriggled my arms free, pulled hair and punched as hard as I could. I started yelling and he kicked me very hard in the shin and I nearly collapsed and he thought he had me but at that point I smashed him very hard in the nose. I was lucky because at this point some men arrived and helped me. I don't like fighting at all, I am not a fighter but I was not going to allow him to do what he wanted. These techniques are useful to know, also that you can fight people stronger if you keep calm and if you believe in yourself.

[@Ray-pp5qb]

well done you!

[@priyaaravamuthan4773]

Wow I admire the fact that u first used ur brain instead of bran, then hit him hard. We need both to win our way out. Very smart of you

[@Onotail]

@@priyaaravamuthan4773 Thank you, it was odd that I felt detached which I think may have been shock to be honest. I also felt guided somehow. As I say I am not aggressive at all. My dad was martial arts trained and tried to teach me, but I never liked it. I remembered though that he told me to never hit the nose flat but to punch up and I did this, it seemed to really knock him off his concentration.

Just remember: the MAIN GOAL of any self defence is to GET AWAY, to escape your attacker, not to beat them up. Get free, then run like heck, making as much noise as you can to draw attention to the situation.

lol obviously ofc but what happens when u find ur self in a situation where a perpetrator is on top of u this way?

I’m always suspicious of these self defense techniques. Most of them don’t work without a lot of cooperation. I was hopeful yet skeptical about this. I was willing to give out a shot because of the Gracie name. I showed this video to my 14 year old daughter then had her try it against me. I am 6’4” and about 250 pounds. After a single view of the video she was able to break free from my grasp easily. I was NOT being cooperative. I was holding hard and trying to not let go. This is amazing and I definitely want to go through the whole program with both of my daughters

I was always very skeptical of these videos but I started going to jiu jitsu and on my first lesson my coach showed me this move. I am 120 pounds, 5’1’’ tall, 16 year old girl and I did this move against an about 6 foot tall, 150 pound coach and did the move easily. I didn’t believe him at first because I thought he was helping me since it seemed too easy but he called another guy from the class about the same height and weight and I did it on him and I knew he was not helping me and I still got out. I continued going to jiu jitsu after realizing that all these things ACTUALLY work if you practice them with another person.

I tried this with my 15 year old niece (5ft 2 in. 128bs, kind of a book worm non athletic) and she couldnt move her arms at all once I grabbed her. But when I tried it with a student, who was very athletic (5ft 6 in. 130/5-ish lbs rock climber and martial artist of 4 years) she was able to do this exactly. I think it goes to show how important it is to be in good shape during a physical confrontation.

[@Kate-is5mz]

@@MrCmon113 YES!! Them rock climbers grip is INSANE

[@_Lumiere_]

@@Kate-is5mz I hope yall do realize that this is an incredibly bad strategy. The guy will be pumped with adrenaline and the pain will further fuel his aggression and most certainly won't stop him because adrenaline nullifies the pain and shock. Attempt to break free and run, that's the best strategy. In a completely life or death no escape scenario, go for the ears (slap and disorient) or eyes (gouge, but be certain and decisive, no aimless clawing). If successful, don't attempt to finish them off, just attempt to secure an escape.

[@Kate-is5mz]

@@_Lumiere_ My climbing skills saved my life. I was mostly replying to a fellow climber, jokingly, but I stand behind the idea that the ONLY physical advantage women have over men is - flexibility and agility. And climbing sports, parcour, and similar stuff really sharpens you physically and trains your brain to see escape routs and quickly make decisions of your next move. In my particular case, I managed to climb a tree before he got to me. Most people can't climb for shit, even on adrenaline. He couldn't. God forbid, if he somehow did, he still wouldn't be able to reach me in the high branches that do not support his weight. Women need to take advantages that they have, we can climb places men can't, we can fit into spaces they can't, etc.

[@_Lumiere_]

@@Kate-is5mz youre right, that's very smart and effective, I applaud you. In pretty much anything, it is not strength that decides the outcome, but rather strategy and resourcefulness, with strength only being one factor.

[@kizryuver]

Yeah whats also horrible is that its hard even if if they arent strong (yes there are instances where ppl weaker than you assault you yet its hard to do stuff abt it) but they are your close aquaintainces/friends which causes ppl to be shocked and freeze since it was unexpected and hesitate because its easier to hit a random creep than a loved one/friend thats a creep (thats why interpersonal relationship violence is so scary). Or pulling this in public in front of aquaintainces in a way thats not visible to them but known to victim only subtly because even tho its said to scream etc most ppl are too embarassed to say a thing till it escalates especially if ppl surrounding you/your society seems like/is full of victim blamers/shamers than helpful and its not even a matter of strength any more, which is why even men are vulnerable to sexual assaults. And thats why its not a physical/sexual violation alone but also a violation of trust, psychological + verbal,reputational and emotional violation and makes it hard to trust any one that touches you and sometimes even talks to you. And may be one of the rare ways to recover that trust is to meet as many good people as we can and find healthier relationships even if our trust might have been broken by people we trusted. But also learn psychological+verbal+textual+emotional+ physical defense (not just one), understand your own and criminals psychology and use the information and awareness to your advantage. And there are myriads of resources online to learn from. And if all else including online self help fails you can always ask for help from a therapist. And believe you will get through this, not right away but as you learn, change psychologically/physically and in time emotional wounds may reduce.

[@tash4171]

Right, it’s also about muscle memory. If you only do it once or twice it’s not going to work, you have to practice a lot so it’s like second nature to you, so that it becomes a reflex because in a stressful situation you probably won’t remember to do this. I mean most people would just scream and flail around. If you’re panicking you can’t pull it off so you have to stay calm. Also consider that these people might be on drugs, steroids, or be drunk so they might not feel pain like normal people.

I tried other things like hitting him with a plank but the guy was tough and he overpowered me hence i decided to just stop and bite his tounge.

I was raised in a martial arts oriented family with 2 brothers who had 2nd and 3rd degree black belts. Besides their coaching, I belonged to a dojo and trained in martial arts for 4 years before having to stop when I became pregnant with my first child. I lived and breathed karate my entire life, and won many awards & trophies in both sparring and Kata, at tournaments (besides getting my butt kicked on a regular basis by my brothers. Lol). Fast forward 10 years and I was unfortunately married to what turned out to be a very abusive man. He exploded one day, locked me in a bedroom and sucker-punched me across the face. I tried to fight back, but NONE of the martial arts techniques I was taught over the years worked. None of them. He had me on the floor in the position described in this video. I couldn't move or try the technique suggested, simply because he had his weight shifted back and was basically "sitting" down on my hips. I was powerless. When someone is a lot stronger than you are, and they surprise you with the first hit (which can be really disorienting and painful), sometimes all that training just doesn't work. At least it didn't for me. It's been years since I left him (I had to pack up and leave in one day while he was out of town for business). I took basically the clothes on my back my dog. I'm still afraid to be in another relationship.

However, every technique must be practiced properly over and over again to be able to perform it and succeed if needed. Stay safe, everyone. Always be aware of your surroundings and remember to maintain as much distance as possible from offender at all times.

Not only are you teaching something viable for someone smaller, but you're including attacks. Almost 30 years ago, when BJJ first started to become popular, it was still taught as a self-defense system. Something that could be used in real situations. Back then, multiple attackers were covered in our sessions as well. At the time it was rolled into stick fighting and Jeet Kune Do, to create a full spectrum system (at least where I was in Cali). The heart of BJJ needs to resurface, as it's still one of the most effective, when taught in this manner. Keep up the great work!

Eg. Ppl regardless of gender get manipulated online to meet in person to be physically/sexually assaulted offline and so on,people also groom kids/manipulate adults/have verbal fights before it ever reaches physical level.... Thats where verbal/textual/psychological defense comes in handy, it can help reduce the possibility of an offline confrontation. plus tonnes of different crimes from being kidnapped for organ trafficking (tho idk how you defend yourself from being sedated and ppl that are organ harvested would be), being just kidnapped/human trafficked for slavery/forced labour and bunch of other stuff exists and in different scenarios different kinds of defense techniques d work, from having information to having resources ready and so on..knowledge of how everything works d help too. (like SA ratio for men and intersex ppl might be less than women but lot of ppl only focus on the larger ratio when its needed for ppl regardless of gender and crime but it happens to all three), just that mens/IS sexual assault reports may be underreported and underrepresented more than women because in some countries there isnt even a law against it for sexually harassing men and boys which is just sad. And self defense in every other way is needed in daily life and at different intensities and for everyone.. Just like sometimes its easier to punch a random creep than to punch your boss for workplace bullying/punching loved ones for SA.or swatting an acquaintances light touch so you dont seem rude but you arent sure of their intention where punching doesnt always work but SA starts from them trying to desensitize you to their touch (where verbal tactics may come in handy).

Before you say yes you must acknowledge that pain can easily send the person in pain into a state of panic. When you start to panic you stop thinking. In this situation during a state of panic the brain would most likely resort to trying to free the arms. The only way that this would truly work is if they were trained is some form of combat which most people are not. I believe you would be better off biting the shit out of his arm. He can’t use both of his hands to pin your wrists and immobilize your head at the same time. Then when he releases your wrist go for his eyes or dick most likely the dick as it is easily injured with one hand. I’m not an expert by any means however I feel my method would work much better in a state of panic.

Wrestling with brother 9 years older than me as a child [if pinned on this position I got the spit dribble and retract treatment] so I developed a very effective counter. Bring your leg up and kick them in the back of the head repeatedly. Just the side on your foot can still be effective if you're wearing footwear, or you just keep hammering again and again. And if you're really flexible, you can get the side of the face or loop your foot around so you can get it in front of their neck or face and start levering. And if they're down to low on your body to reach your leg up, just keep kneeing their ass, and you might get lucky and be able to get your leg between theirs and either lever them off or go for the crotch. Being 7 vs a 16 year old, I was a lot smaller, you can bring your legs into play and just use their power while their hands are effectively neutralized since they are committed to pinning you.

GracieBreakdown quick question, I find jiu jitsu really interesting and am seriously thinking about joining a class, should I start with gi or no gi training? Self defense would be one reason I would start training so I’m thinking no gi maybe. Any input would be much appreciated. Love your videos too

[@NKraven88]

i did a self defense class back when i was in shape. they taught all sorts of breaks and stuff. they paired me off with someone close to my size and did so with everyone else. then a pair of girls next to us asked me to try and pin them. because i was by far the biggest person there. i put them in a hold and they break out. they then asked me to do full force. it did not work out at all. even the instructor couldn't break out using the techniques. so if in trouble and the technique doesn't work try not to panic and try to find a fleshy bit you can jam a finger, a foot into to cause them to loosen their grip a little and go from there. and if you break free, hit a joint or soft spot then leg it.. hit and git. dont look back dont slow down till you are in safety.

Better to be safe than sorry.

My older sister Jenelle taught me this move and I had to use this once. In high school and college I was a cheer leader. It was my sophomore year of high school and after the one home football game we went back to the locker room and I put a sweatshirt on over my uniform top. I was the last one out so I come out of the locker room to meet up with the rest of the girls. All of a sudden I get grabbed by my pony tail and I get put against the wall. I realize it’s a boy so I try to leave but he pulls me back. I yell at him to get off of me and I slap him. He then immediately slaps me in the face. At the same time he grabs my leg I’m thinking he’s about to put his hand up my skirt. He pulls my leg out from under me and puts me on the ground and he then mounts me. I’m screaming at him he then slaps me again and pins my arms like this and says I see you’re a feisty one. He then says that feistiness is going to get you killed bitch. I all of a sudden remembered what my sister had taught me. So I used this move and it worked. As I rolled him over I gave him a quick punch to the face and I grabbed my equipment bag and ran. I could hear people yelling Kristen I knew my girls were looking for me I ended up running into the rest of the girls which they were coming back to try to find me. Then all of a sudden heard someone yell you’re in trouble now bitch he came looking for me but when he saw that I had my girls backing me up and Jamie our squad captain said to him if you take one more step towards her meaning me that she as bd the rest of the girls would hurt him he needed to get away and he ran away.

I've tried it with my husband who is 40kg heavier than me and it didn't work. You might be able to push the attacker with your pelvis, but arms still wouldn't go. So as a personal advice from a relatively small female I would recommend everyone to prevent the attack on it's first stages by running away or using self defense spray. If it's really bad and you end up under the attacker, try to analyze the situation and size of the person on you, you might be too weak to make any difference but steam up the attacker... God bless you all, be safe 🙏❤

As someone who trains in multiple martial arts and has 3 black belts, LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Learn striking, learn grappling, learn how to completely avoid confrontation. I help teach a self defense class where we train striking, throws, and grappling. I will always tell people I'm teaching that you will never know what to expect. Maybe everything goes out the window in that moment or maybe you only remember the basics, but you are much better off consistently training and having a chance than nothing at all. There are so many different ways to use your body for self defense. There is no "one true way" or an "ultimate defense' so, again, learn multiple things and consistently train them.

[@xorlacanj8051]

🤘. Nice break down. I’ve been studying martial arts for years and work primarily with women. You’re program is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@burger_kinghorn]

I see a flaw in the start of this. The guy locking his arms straight out then supporting himself on her arms at that 80° angle. The escape relies on changing that angle and tipping him over so his body is no longer parallel to the ground. (2:08) If he is quick enough to react he would bend his elbows a bit and bear down more weight to stay in place (like a pushup).

ladies - men or others - don't be misled. your defense begins with not being taken to the ground. you MUST CONSIDER - this man has concern for this woman taking her down gently - preventing injury. someone on the street attempting to take you down has NO CONCERN for what happens to you or your injuries. i will not say how many ways this defense is insufficient for your protection. your counter attack plan and methods should begin while you are on your feet. your defense begins with your awareness of your surroundings, anticipation of hostility, evasion of overwhelming conditions and mounting an overpowering defense sufficient to discourage further attack before you are on your back with someone on top of you. your opponent must realize the potential for injury or death outweighs any reward they may attain from further attack. this will not only cause them to flee - but to not return for risk of not escaping.

Entirely correct. I can't at all see this move working in a real life situation. Even if you CAN get him off, he'll just grab you again. What she's doing is a hip thrust. I occasionally do them at the gym, and was surprised to see I struggled a bit to do reps of 95lbs. My bench is 205, and deadlift 280. I'm 5'10 23yo, and 170lbs. A small women will NOT do this with ease. An angry man will almost always overpower a women, that's just the reality we live in.

[@gemadan96]

This is fine on a solid surface free of obstructions, such as walls and furniture. An attack like this is most likely to happen on a soft surface such as a mattress or in a confined space. Trying it on a mattress would drastically decrease the effectiveness of the hip thrust and therefore prevent the attacker's lunge forward that would facilitate the release of the victim's wrists. Also if near a wall/headboard the attacker would have the ability to brace their head against them. These are factors often excluded in teaching self defense. They should be tried in different scenarios, such as extremely soft surfaces, confined space, or sloped ground. Then they should be modified and tested and if they fail they should be abandoned as self defense and used only for sport.

[@AntonBrazhnyk]

Yeap. I also pretty sure it won't work on any surface if attackers hips are down, i.e. his sitting on defender. But..., still better than nothing at all.
