Questions & AnswersGetting away from somebody that’s grabbing at you is really scary. I mean if somebody’s trying to grab you and take you somewhere where you don’t want to go or hold you down the psychological make up that’s going on right now is going to dump adrenaline into your blood and make fine motor skills very difficult. What I want you to think about is what you want to accomplish by getting away, you don’t want to just thrash and flail around. Notice that this is the wide part of the arm and if I pull it gives him a lot more to hold on to especially if he’s much bigger than I am. But turning the wrist so that the small part, the idea is to not become scared and jerk away. That’s going to only excite them and make them want to hold onto you more or try to get an even better grip on you than they had before.

Good thing he only used one hand to grab your wrist. It might have been more difficult if he used both hands.
this is a good overall coverage of 'a lot' of the different scenarios where one could be grabbed. I appreciate this as a woman of 54 yrs. age in an apartment alone on a busy street. I don't go out all much but if I ever have to, I might remember something here of the techniques used if anyone ever tried to grab hold of me. I am 'pretty' and I worry, not conceited, just worry of this all the time. It does have its drawbacks. I would like to know how to get out of a bear hug though. I was looking for that one. Do you have that technique because to me as a 'woman' the best way a man could grab quick would be a bear hug from behind ??? Thanks for all the wonderful tips and I certainly will go to this 'Village' to get my daily feed !! (-: Noreen
