To all the women folk of Kashmir who are facing the fear of braid chopping. Don’t play a victim card, train your mind to FIGHT BACK.
Follow these tips to keep yourself from becoming a statistics.
1. AWARENESS:
The most important tool in defending yourself against any violent situation is to be very much AWARE about your surroundings. Don’t walk or act like a victim – beware of everything that’s happening around you.
In Combat language we call it ‘Situational Awareness’
Remember predators prey on those they see as the weekest members of society. So keep your eyes wide open and don’t just look around but observe everything that’s going around you.
2. COMBATIVES:
You can use your kicks, punches, knees and hand strikes against the most vital areas of a human body. Smash your leg in his groin as hard and fast as you can and make it continuous,,, keep hitting untill he is out of nuts!
2.(a) braid chopping usually takes place in close quarters. Use your shins, elbows, knees and hand strikes against his vital areas like groin, eyes and throat. (If you have got sharp nails, you can scratch his eyes, face and neck as well)
2.(b) Bite him as hard as you can and tear the flesh outta him. Pull out his hair from the roots and meanwhile attack his groin with your knees and shins and if you can get hold of his balls, don’t hesitate to pull them off and smash them into his face!
3. USE IMPROVISED WEAPONS
Keep pepper spray along with you all the time and when needed spray directly into his eyes then follow up with your strikes and scream for the help.
you can use your hijab pins to his eyes or any other vital area.
Carry impact weapons along with you like pens and keys and always use them against the vital targets of the attacker.
You can use your phones, handbags and stole as well. Strike with the corner of your phone to his eyes, nose or throat and if possible you can wrap his face or neck with your stole and choke him out or give a hard beating on him.
Use traditional Kashmiri weapons like: knives, utensils, impact weapons, spade, long stick, stones, sickle, axe, cutters, screwdriver etc.
Remember:: Scream as hard as you can while defending and using combatives against him.
4. PRECAUTIONS:
Don’t stay alone even at your home, keep the doors locked all the time and if anyone knocks or rings the bell…check from the windows and make sure to carry pepper spray and impact weapons along with you.
Stay in the company and keep your tools along with you all the time.
Learn to hold your breath atleast for a minute beacuse even if he succeeds to spray you, you won’t turn off easily while holding the breath then maintain a distance and attack his vital area if possible then run and scream as hard as you can.
