"What makes you think you can take my car like that? I'm sick of this!" So now we're going to discuss a tactic used by perpetrators called the hair grab. This is when your aggressor grabs you by the hair. We will reach up to their wrist, trap their wrist against our skull as we fling ourselves down, we wrist lock them, making them kneel so that they can relieve the pain in their wrist. At this point we have several options. If I had to go down to the ground with my aggressor, I'm gonna continue to hold the hand, grab their material, switch knees. Knee strike to the side of the face and the ear. Once, twice. Palm strike to the side of the face. Another alternative is that I was able to bring my aggressor to the ground without having to lower myself to the ground all the way, grab the hand. With a soccer kick with foot and shin to the side of the face. To the side of the face, and evade. "Hey! Leave me alone! Leave me alone! Stop! Stop!" Like all of the skills we're gonna be teaching you, it's essential that you also practice these skills at home. You've got in your thai pads, here. This is the one I suggest because it's nice and long. It'll cover the arm of the person who's helping when you train. Remember that your opponent doesn't necessarily have to be all the way down, in the head down position. Just in the general area so that the target is in the right spot. So, remember, we've brought them down to the ground. This is now their head, the target that we're striking. So we can grab here. Knee strike. Knee strike. Palm strike. Palm strike. If we're still standing, the kick. The kick.
The hair grab is when an aggressor grabs you by the hair. By grabbing the wrist and pulling him down, you can use a knee strike or palm strike to the side of his face to neutralize the aggressor and escape.
