Long-haired people have the disadvantage when it comes to a face-to-face assault because the opponent can easily grab onto it.
This self-defense technique is useful for women with long hair.
When someone grabs your hair as shown in the picture here, try not to panic.
1) Grab the opponent’s wrist with both hands as shown in the picture. 2) Drag the opponent’s wrist towards the ground using both hands and your body weight.
3) The key to this technique is to use all your body weight and strength to yank the opponent’s wrist down to the ground in one quick motion.
Pull down and drag the opponent’s wrist until the opponent falls to the ground.
This technique applies the full body weight on to the opponent’s wrist to quickly bring down the opponent. For the best results, practicing with a friend is recommended, but use caution to avoid injury.
