This chapter shows how everyday articles can become weapons. Umbrellas, keys,
books, newspapers and other objects, which you may be carrying, can be used in
self defence. Any sprays, such as deodorant, hairsprays or perfume can also be
extremely useful, as you can spray this into your attacker's eyes.
USING A KEY:
------------
Your assailant grabs hold of your collar with both hands. With a key in your
hand stab your assailant in the side of the face. Follow this up by jabbing
your assailant's nose with the heel of your hand to free yourself completely.
USING A ROLLED-UP NEWSPAPER:
----------------------------
Your attacker grabs your arm from behind. Turn and face your attacker and jab
him under the nose with the rolled-up newspaper.
USING A BOOK AGAINST ATTACK FROM THE FRONT:
-------------------------------------------
Your attacker grabs you front the front and prepares to punch you. You step
forward and block the punch with your forearm and jab the book under your
assailant's nose.
USING A BOOK AGAINST ATTACK FROM THE SIDE:
------------------------------------------
Your attacker approaches from the side and grabs your shoulder. You turn away
sideways and jab the book under your assailant's nose with both hands.
USING AN UMBRELLA:
------------------
You are strolling along the street. Your attacker grabs you from behind and
tries to force his attentions upon you. You immediately swivel your hips away
and slam your umbrella into your assailant's groin.
USING A HANDBAG:
----------------
You are walking along the park. Your assailant pesters you and tries to stop
you. Without hesitating, you take your handbag from the shoulder and hit your
attacker in the face with it, distracting him for a moment. The you can use a
front kick to kick your assailant in the groin.
