RE: Steemit Guide To Self-Defense - 10 Useful Tips by @logic
A good one I got taught was to wrap your keys around your fingers with the keys pointing out, like improvised knuckle dusters.
Also perfecting a good elbow strike if someone tries to grab you from behind can work wonders too.
But for the most part, learning the right posturing, and being able to defuse a situation are the best ways to stay safe. Better not to get into a fight then to win one.
You are very right. Keys are very useful too, or even the edge of your credit card to slash someone's face. Other tool is normal pen or proepr self defense (you can get one from ebay).
True about elbows. Also when someone tries to grab or choke you from behind, you can just hammer punch or hit them with open hand to the groin repeatedly, or stomp on their toes with all the power using your shoes (very painful). Kicking their shin with back of your heel is good too, especially if they try to lift you (just have to remember to wrap the other leg around their leg so they cannot lift your properly).
An old friend of mine that i used to hang around in college with was a 3rd dan black belt in taekwondo. Someone in town stuck a knife in his back and asked for his wallet. Old mate gave him the elbow, left the guy spread eagle on the floor of the mall, shrugged and went about his way. Good times.
Hah, nice one :-)
