When you are being attacked, you can use what you have to defend yourself. That's our natural instinct. We always try our best to defend ourselves when our life is in danger. You have nothing, no problem. You can use your body as a weapon for self defense. Your leg is the longest weapon. You can kick, knee charge and attack your attacker in different ways.

There are some situations where you cannot use your legs that much. You spend a lot of time learning kicks, but you cannot use that. Yes, there are some situations you cannot even raise your legs let alone kick. How about getting attacked in a car?

Let's watch this video.

In this video, you see a girl gets in the car. When she is about to start the car, someone gets in the car and holds a knife to her throat. Then two other guys get in. The girl has no option except listen to them. So she drives the car and gets there where they want to go.

When the guy with the knife gets out of the car, she attacks those two guys who are sitting in the car. She attacks the guy first who sits next to her. The guy who is behind her tries to grab her neck. She turns and keeps striking him.

When the guy with the knife comes back, and she chases him with the car. The car is about to get over him when she stops the car. Hope he will never hold a knife to anyone's throat.

If someone has a knife, that's dangerous. And when someone holds a knife to your throat, please do not do something silly. Co-operate with the attacker. If he wants some money, give him money, if he wants your watch, give it to him. In this case, they want to go somewhere and the girl does what they say. When you get a chance or the attacker is distracted, that's the moment you should attack.

If you get the moment to attack, first of all, move the knife away from your throat and then strike. Safety for yourself always comes first. Defend yourself and counter-attack based on the situation.
