If someone stops you and asks you to give him your money. You give him your money, but still, he attacks you. Then you have no option to fight back. Sometimes you can be proactive and make your move first seeing the obvious danger. When it comes to self defense, you can use what you have to defend yourself.

No rules are there in a street fight, and the attackers can attack you in different ways. You have your bag or purse. You can even use that to defend yourself. Let's watch this video from 2:08 to 3:08 Minutes. It is not my video. All video credit goes to chintya candranaya. I share a video from YouTube so that it would be easier to understand.

You see a girl walking, and a guy stops her. From the first moment, it is not easy to understand what's going on. Suddenly the guy moves his hand behind and draws his weapon - knife. He asks for money, and he can stab the girl at any time. He does not care.

The girl hits him with her bag. So is it effective, or what can you do in this situation?

The moment you see the guy moves his hand behind, that's an indication that he is about to draw his weapon. If you see that, you can attack him right away. Don't give him a chance to pull the knife. It is better if you can do that.

In case he has already drawn his knife, and he wants your bag, you can do a couple of things. You can give him your bag. Or, you can move your hand when he tries to grab your bag and hit him with the bag. Hitting with the bag will not hurt him pretty bad. But for the moment, he will be distracted, and you can make your next move.

When you fight for self defense, every strike does not mean to hurt the attacker pretty bad. You can use it as a distraction or set up for the next strike or avoid and run away. If he grabs your bag like you watched in the video for the first time, your hand, as well as his hand, are stuck there. He can stab you, and you can find it difficult to defend.

You can let him grab your bag, and you can focus on defending the knife. You can move to the side, defend the knife, and attack him. If there are other attackers, you can fight with them and get out of there as soon as possible.
