The most important thing when it comes to self defense is getting yourself in a proper base, you can use your body’s leverage. For this you will want your feet wide with your legs bent and your weight on the balls of your feet. Remember to hold your hands up to protect your face at all times

When an assailant grabs your wrist to pull you away, it is very difficult to turn and pull to break free. 

Instead, when they pull, step in with your same side foot behind the assailants foot. 

Then make your hand that is held into a fish, and grab it with your free hand

Bring your captured hand up like you are answering the phone, while driving your elbow toward your attacker

For a knee strike, you want to pick up your back leg and drive your knee up towards your attacker

When doing this, make sure to keep your standing leg bent and lean back in order to maintain balance

You can either grab your attacker by their opposite shoulder or hold your hands up to protect your face

When using the palm strike technique, the goal is to utilize the heel of your palm when striking your attacker

The most effective way is to strike up under to chin

Make sure to bend your hand back to really emphasizing using the heel of your palm

When someone grabs your hair from behind, the first thing you want to do is use both hands to hold into their wrist

Do not go against them pulling you, this will create more pain for you

Then, step back with your inside leg and duck your head under their arm and stand up on the other side

This will give you control of their arm until they release
