What To Do When Someone Grabs Your Bag - Women's Self Defense

You are outside and waiting for someone, and someone grabs your bag. Maybe he wants to steal your bag or just tries to hurt you. If someone is going to hurt you, you have the right to defend yourself. When someone grabs your bag, you can grab him, attack to his leg, and take your bag from him.

How about you are walking and someone grabs your backpack from the behind?

Let's watch this video.

When someone grabs your backpack while walking, you can feel that. Or, the attacker can grab your bag and pull you. You do not know what's going on. So when he pulls your bag, you will step back normally.

Now if the attacker grabs your bag tight and wants to move you here and there, he can do that. So first of all, don't let him move you pulling your bag. You step back and make a little gap between your legs. You ground yourself properly and at the same time, grab the attacker's hand.

When you grab the attacker's hand, he will find it difficult to move you here and there. It is like he is stuck now. You can do knee charge. You can use your knee to hit his leg. You can do hammer fist or elbow strike. Now you are in control. You will see the attacker does not hold your bag anymore or if he holds your bag, that's not so tight.

You can push the attacker and get out of there as soon as you can. Or, you can sweep his leg and make him fall on the ground. Then you can walk away.

Some important points I would like to mention here. When the attacker pulls you grabbing your backpack, if you lose balance, it would be difficult to attack him. So always keep your balance. When he pulls you, you will go backwards and that's normal. Make sure that you turn and ground yourself properly.

You might think why I should grab his hand that holds my bag. Well, if you do not grab his hand and strike, he can pull you and your strike will be useless. So grab his hand and then counter-attack.
