[@katieneal9559]

these should be mandatory in school. why not do self defence instead of pe?

[@andreaperez1062]

Trueeee we need it more 👊🏼

[@anniinah]

My high school in EU actually teached us girls self defence as a part of pe. I don't think the guys had it though

[@natinettievods3795]

annïna Oh lucky XD

[@Larissawesome]

YES!

[@natinettievods3795]

***** Oh wow I never thought of that :o I guess there's some truth there.

[@kemi903]

Ever since I was young me and my sister's played this game with my dad where we would attack each other and have to find a way out. most of the time my dad would be the "bad guy"or "monster" and he would attack when we least expected. I never realized how much this game did for me, most of the time I found it annoying since my dad would come and attack me out of nowhere. now I realize my dad was teaching us how to defend ourselves against any real life attackers. I'm not the strongest, tallest or biggest person but because of the little annoying game my dad played with us, we are able to fight off a full grown man if we have to.

[@Ashley-qk6xz]

Thats very smart of him

[@fernandowong371]

I doubt you could fight off a full grown man. Have you ever had to?

[@kemi903]

+Fernando Wong no I haven't but my sister has

[@fernandowong371]

kemi fuentes What happened and what did she do to him?

[@kemi903]

+Fernando Wong she was walking home from school when a guy came from behind and grabbed her. She elbowed him hard enough for him to kinda bend and loosen his grip on her. she then found a way knee his face (if that makes sense) and ran as fast as she could. the guys nose didn't break but she did hurt it pretty bad. Also my dad always tells us that getting away from the situation is always better than staying there to fight the aggressor which is way she was mostly focused on find a way out and hurting him just enough that she'd have and advantage on him

[@myg1856]

This should be taught in PE

[@Steph-it4fh]

[@helenak.5482]

true. glad you're not like other people in the comments saying that men get sexually assaulted more than women and stuff. it would also be good to teach this in schools at a youngish age because then kids would grow up knowing about this issues and maybe prevent them doing it when they're older.

I always just carry a bat or some kind of weapon for safety

[@Lilian040210]

@@crowinawell4635 yeah I've seen some info that says they won't bother if u look like trouble but since it's all about power I feel like there's also a chance it won't work. Also heard that playing batshit crazy works. And yelling there's fire instead of screaming for help (but I'm sure everyone learns that at like 5). I wonder if pretending to have a seizure or smth like that would work as well. I also carry a knife but I'm also afraid to actually use it because it might end up in his hands. I'm not a physically strong person someone sneezes at me and I'll break :') And spending the rest of my life in jail for defending myself is not a fun outcome too :S But all this stuff is for "stranger in the bushes" situation. Most of the times it's someone you know. That's why knowing how and where to hurt them (in a way that won't lend you in jail) comes in handy.

[@sofialopez6575]

this is probably the best video buzzfeed has posted

[@carolinacj9811]

i think the same!!

[@tubehax]

+Sofia Lopez Lol, I been doing martial arts as a male since I was 9. Your chances of defending against me when I have one arm tied behind my back are 0. That being said my chances of winning against pepper spray with all my years of training are exactly: 0 tldr: Be smarter ... ps. I also don't do well against guns.

[@TheAshmah]

Most self defense is taught by men. I did karate for many years, i asked my sensei once why it seems to men teaching the self defence, he made a good point. Men know what a mans instinct in attack is, so who better to teach how to fight them off. Plus i personally would rather learn fighting off men with a man, fighting women is totally different, i fought in mixed tournaments and it was def a way different ball game with women

[@queenofsalt7515]

If you get attacked (which hopefully never happens) some weak points are •eyes •nose •ears •crotch •breasts •toes •fingers If you are being held from behind, drag your heel down your attacker's shin (especially effective with high heels) Aim for the stomach to try and wind them Try to draw blood Punch with your thumb on the outside and mainly using your elbow Use your knees, a knee to the stomach or crotch can be enough to get your attacker to the ground long enough to get away As soon as your attacker is on the ground run to the nearest busy place Remember adrenaline can make you more tolerant to pain so it may take more than a punch to get them to the ground Stay safe and if you can think of anymore comment them because it might help someone out one day

[@zashyneahli9619]

Punch with your thumb in, or you may break it. But good tips!

[@saulhernandez320]

+Zashyne Ahli lol

[@XSadieX]

+Phan trash throat too! c: My best friend is 15, she was attacked, her dad always taught her to aim for the throat as he was a boxer, apparently that's what she did, she knocked the wind out of him a bit and she just ran.

[@antoniakftn1894]

+Zashyne Ahli i thought that punching with your thumb in increases the chances of it breaking...

[@saulhernandez320]

it does thats exactly how you break your thumb

[@jeff3425]

Muscle memory. You need to practice till it's instinct. And keep practicing. Years ago I watched a video like this, but later on they ambushed the women to see how they would react, they freaked out and didn't do what they were taught. It's a perishable skill. Use it or lose it.

[@impulsepdr2175]

Muscle memory is within the mind. Practicing to manage that fear spike is just as important as anything else. Kudos.

[@Rarakaii]

I need to do a self-defense class! I was repeatedly bashed and raped for 2 hours 5 years ago when I was 16 and unfortunately, I became paralyzed with fear before I was able to defend myself. By the time I was able to fight back, he had completely over-powered me. I don't blame myself or my body for reacting in that way, however, I know that if I had done a class like this, I could've gotten away faster. You can't prepare for an attack but knowing how to defend yourself is incredibly important and I'm ready to learn. Stay safe, everyone and be strong!

[@beccthehecc]

I'm so sorry that you had to go through that! I really hope that you have the best of luck in the future and hopefully with those self defense classes!

[@Jaxsi911]

Cfft Fgfff what kind of a question is that??

[@Jaxsi911]

I recommend martial arts. Martial arts is much more than self defence, it’s the ability to tap into your person strength. Martial arts taught me so much about myself at a time when I was struggling most with confidence. I recommend you go talk to an instructor near you. They will go at the pace you need. I’m incredibly sorry this experience happened to you. I hope you never have to deal with evil like that again.

+Diablo The Bearded-Dragon actually, because of evolution and men's natural build they are generally physically stronger. But they are far more likely to be aggressive and take their anger out on other people, so.... Please note: these are actual facts. I don't care if they're offensive. They're facts. While it's true women can be strong, male bodies are built so certain things are easier.

[@anvior45]

Except a brief self-defense class is quite useless. Do you want to maintain a level of skill and physical fitness that will give you a good chance to fend of the average male? Well that is now your life-long hobby. You can not take a class, and then it will work 2 years later. You need to keep at it. Even if you are an accomplished martial artist, your skills are perishable.

[@alexisoelberg7448]

this makes me a little bit grateful for my brother. a lot of times my brother will tackle me and I, being grossed out because he's my brother, will try to do whatever I can to get away. best tactic for me is drop my weight down and use my elbows to get him in the ribs. (he's really tall and built so it diesnt hurt him too much, but shocks him). point beeing, a lot of tactics he talked about I have learned and practiced on my brother..... sorry and thanks Danny 😂

I would say go for Brazilian Jujitsu. Since you are a small female I think trying to get your striking to a level were you can do it effectivly is a waiste of time. Better to go for something were your reach and power is less of a factor. Unless you really enjoy it of course.

[@anvior45]

Get a gun, get training, practice. If you do martial arts you might spend a full month of training sessions to work on one single move. A self-defense class has some value for about 1 month perhaps then it is pretty much gone when it comes to a real situation. So either become an amateur mma girl or get a gun.

@@brokenredbench96 sad but true...

[@anvior45]

Especially as their skills to do any of these moves go away after two weeks. A fun fact, people in martial arts that get a black belt do not high five each other and stop doing it. It is a perishable skill. You need to keep doing it, and do it. And do it more. Or you can perhaps get a mechanical device that evens the playing field and requires less time to provide a good defense.

[@mothlaw5917]

we need self defense classes in schools. not just for women, but for everyone.

[@Haily224]

Totally agree with you because most students either don't have the time or the money to invest in a self-defense class so having it in schools would be really helpful.

[@notAshildr]

+Haily Bui The problem is most self defense classes are really crappy. I think it would be great to have some at school, but the classes that were offered at our school were really bad (I only went because a friend of mine didn't want to go on her own, I've been doing self defence and Judo/mixed Marshall Arts since I was 6 so sadly I knew more than the "instructor") Girls don't need dozens of techniques they need two to three universal ones and enough training to know where to hit and how to fall without knocking yourself out or breaking your wrist. The point is everyone could do it, if the instructor does it right

No, it's not. Even in the rare occasion of you being attacked, running is probably still the more useful skill. Also - when everyone learns it, it loses utility.

When I do self defense, I use my nails and teeth. Why??? Cuz I have very mess up weird sharp and dull crooked teeth, and my nails are like triangles. I also use screaming as a weapon, even though I could sound insane and stupid, AT LEAST IM SAFE!

[@JamJam-ku5wp]

[@joskilove]

Ladies, please I don't mean to offend anyone or disappoint anyone, but this guy is ripping you off. I can't tell you how bad I feel for women who take these self defense courses and are shown "techniques" that they are convinced to think will get them out of dangerous situations. The truth is, this stuff will get you killed. Here's the truth: Real martial artists train hard for years to be able to adequately defend themselves in a street fight situation. It takes fitness, focus, adaptability, and strength to defend yourself in the types of real world situations described in this video. Don't swallow someone who'd give you a one-time class and have you believing you can take on someone twice your size and three or four times your physical strength. If you really want to defend yourself, do common sense things like stay in well lit areas; use the buddy system when going out; don't walk down the street with your nose in your cellphone; take a mental inventory of your surroundings and know when there's potential danger; most important: stay sober! If you are attacked, the guy is right, screaming is the first thing you should do. If the attacker says give him your purse, do it. It's not worth your life. If you do have to fight (something you should determine as quickly as possible), go for the eyes, his jaw, kicking the knee joint, striking his jugular. Kicking his groin is a myth. You might miss, you might not have enough momentum to shock him, you might not be strong enough, he might be on drugs and not feel it. Otherwise, don't follow the advice in this video. It will put you in real danger because it assumes that an attacker will stop once you execute your movement. Trust me, he won't. His goal may be to harm you and if it is, this won't prevent anything. If you really want to be able to defend yourself from an attacker, don't just take a class. Find a martial arts program or fight training program that you're comfortable with. Make it a part of your life. Get really physically fit. Gain strength. Train hard for years. Learn how to punch and how to take a punch. Adopt the aggressive attitude of a fighter. That way you'll stand a chance. Signed, A guy who trains martial arts and who cares about women's safety.

[@brokenredbench96]

^ I completely agree with you. It makes me angry that this channel was so irresponsible. These techniques will only give people false confidence.

[@ibosquez5238]

OK dude, but the stuff in the video may also help. Get a woman to help you and put it to the test. Be fair. We all know you guys are the stronger half of the human race. I bet you can beat me at arm wrestling, but be fair.

For self defense and fighting skills is suggest trying KMRED (Krav Maga RED). It is fairly new and is adapted to real life and street fights. It is NOT a sport because the main goal is to do as much damage as possible in a short time so you can escape the situation. It is not for spectators and is not meant to look beautiful - just effective.

[@key5975]

If you're walking alone at night it's some times helpful to have keys in between your fingers, in case someone does attack you you can punch them with jagged parts of the keys

[@samanthasanford2742]

Unless you're trained and used to fighting with a loaded fist, you're more likely to hurt your hand and lose your key in the process. A small knife or even a well formed normal fist will be much more effective.

[@mio7464]

Elbows. Use your elbows not your key.

[@siginotmylastname3969]

Brace the key against your thumb, make a fist and use it to punch and stab instead. It takes less time and you don't have time.

[@hannahhester8376]

I loved this. I liked the fact that they had the right amount of fear, as if the teacher actually was someone who was trying to hurt them and they were able to use it to "fight" him off, and he showed them the different real situations that could possibly happen. Seriously, this needs to be taught everywhere.

[@SlavaZone]

It's also important to point out that in 90% of cases, victims know their attacker (in sexual attacks). This would probably be better if someone is trying to punch you or rob you on the streets, but if a friend or loved one starts attacking you, you gotta be ready to hurt them as well even if you thought you loved and trust them. Also, women can be attackers, and men can be victims. But great video of course, it's always awesome to see the Ladylike crew do a wide variety of things, from make-up to more action-packed topics! :)

[@bty3]

[@1125oboe]

He isn't saying men aren't assaulted at all, and I think I've already replied to you calling out a "sexist" comments. Men are more likely to do the assaulting and women are more likely to be the victim. That is a known fact. Period.

[@Hardennn]

Kpopaddict444 period? men get assaulted more and women get sexually assaulted more i said ASSAULTED

[@1125oboe]

The point of this video is to teach women how to defend themselves against a sexual assault. That's why you see people commenting about how women should be safe and learn such defense techniques. Can't complain when the focus isn't on men. There's a difference between assault and sexual assault.

[@Hardennn]

Kpopaddict444 the difference is you can die of assault and you cant in sexual assault

[@musicobsessed3478]

All women and girls should be encouraged to take up matrial arts that teach self defense. It really helps you get over the fear of not being able to defend yourself.

[@NicholasDorrell]

Here in Arizona, I know countless women that'll just carry a gun. That's going to get an attacker running in the opposite direction..

[@littlewing1021]

Not disagreeing with you, but it definitely helps to be able to physically defend yourself as well.

[@zeidyt5634]

I guess that's good unless one of them is psycho, plus not everywhere is it ok to just carry a gun I don't think

[@NicholasDorrell]

That's why I clarified I'm in Arizona where you can legally carry without a permit as long as you're 18. You can conceal carry at 21 without a permit as well, but it's worth getting a permit to conceal. It would help with any legal problems if you ever had to draw your ccw.

[@JuliaWilkins_Juwil2000]

+baNNaNNaLiCiOuS I recommend talking to your local police department. Ask them if they know of or recommend any self-defence classes. If you have proper technique it doesn't matter how much bigger or stronger your opponent is you will be able to defend yourself.

[@intensedefense3740]

+Julia Wilkins That is exactly right! We teach how to use your attackers strength against him!

I took martial arts for almost 8 years and I was unfortunately stuck in a situation when I was 21 where I needed to use those skills. I question how my life would have been different if I hadn’t had that immediate response system imbedded into my body. I don’t remember much about the incidence but I do remember the rush of emotion once I got away. I cried so hard once I was safe... I’m so thankful for the instructors in my life that gave me that opportunity to survive an attack.
