It assumes your attacker is always going to be a male and it also assumes females are invincable because they dont have testes.

Let’s be clear here, a good solid kick to the woman’s groin by the attacker can also cause the female victim to fall immediately to the ground as well leaving her vulnerable to rape. And let’s also be clear when I say, me as a male, if I was going to just steal your purse and take your wallet, and you tried to go for my groin and missed, I most certainly would be so pissed I’d not only kick you there as hard as I could, but repeatedly then rape you where before I was only going to take your wallet. But that’s just IF I was a person that would steal your wallet. I’m not.

Sheesh I cant believe the audacity of whomever wrote this.

Same, except if I’m range, slit the throat of the attacker. It most likely (98%) killer him or her. If from distance with gun, go for the foot or knee. If you hit, they will fall and lose balance. If they get back up (if that’s possible) shoot ’em again.

That’s disgusting man. Eating dead bodies. For survival sake couldn’t he just eaten something else?

EXACTLY!!!

Even the more so, as women we need far MORE protection than men. Men have more muscles and adrenaline than most of us do. That’s why it’s imperative when a guy gets close it’s to take him out!!!

This thread is mentally retarded and so are the posters in it. No one has time for ‘hand-to-hand’ combat that is so third world country.

First and foremost, I would STAB your ass if you got close. My goal is to take your silly ass down from a distance, not in range so you can try and get me.

Elbow and knee strikes are the best truly, but if for the moment they are not an option, you use the palm of your hand and aim it at your opponents nose. You’re less likely to break your hand and, like the site said, you can cause considerable damage.

He would go down for sure, or run until he drops. I would say a knife to the back or stomach will end the fight.

Got a commercial from my ex. All I heard was him say, “f*** her up about now. Two guys (Jamaican accents so likely much larger than me) said, “I’ll have someone do.e up from behind” and “straighten that b**** out”. Tonight a large man pulled into where I was getting gas. Pulled into self-carwash (11:30 pm & no lights) turned through, stared me down, pulled back in and came into the store where I was. I’ve reported the fall to the police & got a pic and his tag no. tonight. I live alone & have no friends here. Plus, I’m in SC where it’s a weapons free-for-all. This is disconcerting. Is a taser too slow or powerful? I really don’t want a gun but I want to stay alive.
