Women: How to handle being grabbed by a "wolf"

First of all: the temperature in Ft. Lauderdale dipped to the mid-50's this AM...I was shivering! AND I grew up in Buffalo, NY...I'm ashamed! LOL (my blood must have gotten thin from living in S.FL. too long)........How to handle being grabbed by a predatory male (this is mostly for women...for males: the grab WILL be followed up immediately by a punch to the face!) .....4 steps to keep in mind: (1) be AWARE: if you are aware of people & situations around you...you should see this guy start to invade your space! You can then MOVE to avoid him...get real squirmy...give him the "death look" & TELL him to back off! It IS very hard to grab somebody who is trying to avoid it! For PROOF,(on my Youtube channel...http://www.youtube.com/sto9joe, see videos illustrating this from "streetfightsecrets" and "mattkovsky" (found in my friends & subscriptions lists)!.........(2) should he get a hold of you, he is not hurting you yet...HIT him to HURT him & make him let go! Best options: kick to his shin/ stomp on his instep for the low line; palm heel strike to his NOSE for the high line! Best directions of attack for the palm heel are: UPWARD & IN under his nose and DOWNWARD & IN over the bridge of his nose! With a little practice, you will be able to split his nose like a walnut! (SEE MY DISCLAIMER, dated 9/11/07) This should make him release his hold on you!.............(3) create a WITNESS: as you strike him, scream out: "Get your hands off of me!" or similiar! This will draw other people's attention to your plight...shows you are only defending yourself from an unwanted battery on your person by this "wolf"!.................(4) ESCAPE to SAFETY! On the street, run away from him & toward other people or lighted areas. In a club, run toward the manager or bouncer...they will be very happy to escort you to your vehicle as you leave (in case "Bozo"(you did just give him a big, red nose after all LOL) & his friends are waiting for you outside)! AND YOU ARE LEAVING NOW...in case "Mr. FeelGood" returns to shoot up the place with an assault rifle...you do NOT want to be there! ...................................................................Finally, the NPC Nationals Women's Bodybuilding Contest is being held this weekend in Dallas...best wishes for a good time to all competitors & spectators (I just luv "muscle women")! My favorite, Isabelle Turell,http://www.isabelleturell.com ,decided not to do this show...will wait and compete next spring/summer. Enjoy your weekend as well,Belle! I won't be there...have to work this weekend...down a couple for me! CHEERS!!!

Just a few tips to avoid trouble (much more to follow)

I want to mention a few things that might help you avoid a mugging or a punch-out: (A) Avoid using the bathrooms right next to the main entrance to a casino/dept. store! One time in Vegas, I was using this very Men's Room and 2 "clowns" came in and immediately separated such that I was bracketed between them. This is never a good sign; they are trying to surround you to set up a mugging! They tried to distract/intimidate me with a "hot" interview: saying I "stunk up" the place (it was a bathroom LOL) to see how I would react to a nasty remark. I countered by saying NOTHING...placed my back to the wall...assumed a balanced, centered stance...shot them a feral look as I slipped a "fist load" from my pocket AND....MAGIC...those 2 "Bozos" melted away & I was alone again with my thoughts! JOY The point being it would have been easy for them to mug me & ESCAPE out that front door only a few feet away! Use a rest room deep in the bowels of the casino/store and it will be harder for them to run out of the place without being caught! Casinos have rows of slots everywhere, hard to avoid bumping into them. LOL Dept. stores set up counters the same way to "block" shoplifters from a fast exit!...............(B) Watch out for that "hot" interview: Punks usually need to "woof" up some courage prior to attacking you: they do this by insulting/ threatening you to make you upset & set you up for the assault! Once,while walking my chihuahua, a car full of "wannabe's" pulled up and let loose with some insults to rattle me: my counter was to SAY NOTHING...face them with a relaxed, balanced stance...retrieve my ASP-baton from my fanny pack...and send them a look as if to say:"Great, time for batting practice"! The car sped away real quick-like! LOL Punks and bullies want to "beat you up" without actually fighting you...project relaxed, balanced, centered strength back to them and they will generally bugger off! There ARE lots of easier people to mess with out there then you will be when you act in this manner. Good day & Blessings to whoever reads this blog!
