SELF DEFENSE

Heel palm strike - As you engage your opponent, raise your open palms in front of your chest. Open palms will put your hands in a good striking position and communicate passivity to your opponent. Elbow strike - When you strike someone with an elbow, your striking arm swings parallel to the ground and strikes either with your forearm (if you want to club them) or the elbow's point (if your intent is to cut them open).

ESCAPE FROM “BEAR HUG” ATTACK (SELF-DEFENSE)

Extend your waist forward. Your weight will be shifted forward as a result, making it harder for your attacker to pick you up. Also, it gives you a better stance from which to fling elbows at the assailant's face from side to side. Continue counterattacking by angling one of your elbows at the attacker. You should now have enough room to fully pivot and use another move to hurt the face or hit the groin. You might be able to flee and run away using the space that these actions have created.
