Reporter: NOW ANN IS USING
HER WARRIOR SKILLS TO SHOW ALL
WOMEN HOW TO ESCAPE FROM THREE
COMMON MALE ATTACKS SCENARIOS.
NO!
Reporter: NUMBER ONE, BLIND
SIDED.
YOU'RE ATTACKED FROM BEHIND.
THE FIRST THING YOU'RE GOING
TO DO IS SHOOT THAT RIGHT HIP
OUT AND AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
THE SECOND THING I WANT TO DO IS
I WANT TO TAKE THAT LEFT LEG OF
MINE AND I WANT TO WEDGE IT
BEHIND HIS RIGHT LEG IN A VERY
QUICK MOTION.
Reporter: NEXT STEP, SWING UP
VIOLENTLY WITH YOUR ELBOW TO
SMASH THE GUY IN THE FACE.
AS YOU'RE TURNING AROUND WITH
YOUR NATURAL WEIGHT OF YOUR
BODY, YOU CAN FOLLOW UP AS
YOU'RE TURNING TO YOUR LEFT WITH
A NICE PALM STRIKE TO THE CHIN,
BOOM.
Reporter: THE ATTACKER GOES
DOWN HARD.
WHAT DID I TAKE AWAY FROM
YOU?
YOU STOLE MY BALANCE FROM ME
AND USED MY WEIGHT AGAINST ME.
SCENARIO NUMBER TWO, STRANGLE
HOLD.
YOU'RE THROWN UP AGAINST A WALL.
THE MAN'S HANDS ARE LOCKED
AROUND YOUR NECK.
PUT MY HANDS TOGETHER LIKE
I'M PRAYING, COME UP THROUGH MY
ATTACKER'S ARMS AND THROW MY
ELBOWS OUT IN THIS POSITION.
Reporter: NEXT, DRIVE YOUR
HANDS STRAIGHTFORWARD FOR AN EYE
GOUGE.
I'M GOING TO GO STRAIGHT WITH
MY THUMBS UP FOR MY ATTACKER'S
FACE AND TAKE MY THUMBS AND JUST
PLOW THEM IN TO ICE EYE SOCKETS.
Reporter: FROM THERE, PULLED
HIS FACE INTO YOUR FOREHEAD.
AND FROM THERE, TWO KNEE STRIKES
TO THE GROIN AND HE GOES DOWN.
IN SCENARIO THREE, PARKING LOT
ATTACK.
YOU'RE GRABBED AS YOU'RE GETTING
INTO YOUR CAR.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO USE YOUR
KEYES LIKE A KNIFE.
NO!
THROW MY RIGHT HIP OUT, SWING IT
AROUND.
I CAN GO FOR THE THIN, DRAG IT
DOWN.
Reporter: THE KEY HERE IS
REALLY STRIKE DOWN ON THE SHIN
BONE.
THEN GRIND YOUR HEEL INTO THE
ATTACKER'S FOOT AND COME UP
SWINGING VIOLENTLY.
MY ELBOW WILL COME AROUND.
THEN WE TAKE OUR KEY AND WE USE
IT AS A WEAPON FOR THE NECK
STRIKE OR AN EYE STRIKE.
HOP INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK IT, AND
USE YOUR PANIC BUTTON TO SOUND
AN ALARM.
Reporter: YOU'VE JUST SEEN
THESE INCREDIBLY FANTASTIC
MOVES.
