Self Defense TrainerIf you truly need to resort to violence, aim for a vulnerable area like the head or groin. - QuestionShould I wear loose or tight fitting clothes to fight?Community AnswerYou should wear tight-fitting clothes so your opponent can't pull your clothing. If you wear loose clothing, your opponent can pull you around by your clothes.
- QuestionWhat do I do if the girl has long nails?Community AnswerYou have an advantage as she is not going to be able to punch that hard, as the nails get in the way of making a fist. On the other hand, she can scratch you; if she does and it's near your face, grab her hand and twist. Make sure you bend her backward when you twist her hand, then kick her back. Let her go; she will automatically fall.
Tips
- Do not put your hands on someone first.Thanks
- Wait until the other person stands up before fighting. If they are sitting and you fight them, it will look like a scared move.Thanks
- Make sure that you organize rules before you fight to avoid an unfair school fight.Thanks
Tips from our Readers
- Wear Vaseline, lotion, or petroleum jelly when fighting to make it harder for the other girl to grab or scratch you.
- Go for the legs and try to push them off balance. If they fall, try to keep them down.
- Always keep your hands in front of your face to block incoming punches.
Warnings
- Getting into a fight is not the answer to solving any problems you are having with another person. Not only do you risk getting seriously hurt, you also risk facing expulsion from your school or college, or/and a criminal record, neither of which will help your future.Thanks
