Lately, the Internet has become a place where people have started talking about women’s safety. Everyone is coming up with new ways that can be used by women to keep themselves protected.
And recently, TikToker has recently joined this thing. She is teaching women to hold the keys right way for self-defense.
No doubt you have heard of a self-defense technique whereby you hold keys in your fist between the fingers
Well, this TikToker explains that, though a prevalent method, it might end up hurting you
You see, when you punch the attacker, the keys might bend upward and hurt your hand
Instead, she suggests using what she calls the ‘hammer’ method
“I don’t know where that came from or who first told me but from what I gather it is the norm for people to be told this.”
If you simply clench up a key in your hand as shown below, it won’t wobble and be more effective
“We’re definitely surprised, a little bit annoyed with me for not checking if I used the same hold on her, but I thought it would be seen by 100 people max. So, even though the information is there. The demonstration on the first video is unfortunately terrible. My lovely model Charly is feeling the same way, happy for all the positive comments, but regretting we didn’t carry out the demonstration properly.”
Fae also shows this in action with the help of her friend Charly
The thing to remember is you aren’t settling in to fight your attacker, you are doing what you can to get away, the second you are free to run, you run.”
Keep in mind that this tactic shouldn’t be used with knives or similar weapons—the point is to give yourself a chance to escape, not seriously hurt the attacker
If you’re lucky, you might end up hitting not just the leg, but also some more delicate parts
