Hi! I’m Madison Warner and I’ve been instructing for over 10 years for Michael M. Foley system of Koden Kan Karate, if you’d like to go to our website please do it’s h2hctc.com or mellei.com. Today we’re going to learn hair grab defense number one, this is the third in the series of self defense techniques we’re going to learn and this one your attacker is coming in and they’re just grabbing a hold of your hair, maybe they’re going to drag you off and you know who knows but we’re not going to let them. They come in a drag, what you’re going to do is you’re going to slap or push their hand with your hand, so you’re going to smush and smush and step back onto your knee this way…then you’re going to grab their hand, I’ll show you how in moment, grab their hand here so that they’re open, they’re stuck and you’re going to grab their head and do a knee to the head. Okay it might sound gruesome but remember this guy almost just threw you in you know his trunk so it’s okay, alright so the attacker comes in and she or he is going to grab your hair and you’re going to smash, smash, go down on your right knee now when you peel the hand off you’re going to put your thumb on the pinky knuckle and then you need to reach inside the palm with this hand, so you want to be grabbing this whole thumb joint with your fingers and pushing with your thumb, okay so it’s this motion when you’re turning, then you’re going to grab the head as you stand up you’re going to do a knee to the head, okay and that is hair grab defense number one, then you have to fix your hair.
