Self defense video: two handed shirt grab
When someone grabs you in this fashion they are either trying to slam you into the wall, pick you up and drop you, or they are trying to take you somewhere that you do not want to go. They could also be holding you down so that their buddies can have time to come up close and finish you off. Their strong hands, and my arms may not do the trick, especially if he’s really strong. But coming in close to his hand will help me break free because I’m using these big muscles in my arms against just the muscles in his hands and wrist. Remember, he’s just holding onto my shirt. Much better position than I was beforehand.
