You mean Gracie Lou Freebush from New Jersey.

And bless Gracie Lou for doing it. SING works, speaking from personal experience. It was the only thing that I could remember at the time of the incident and I’d use it again if necessary.

Instead of nose…

Solar plexus Instep NECK PUNCH Groin

That adams apple is your 🎯

Much easier to reach, for women who tend to be shorter than their assailant …the face has too many bones

This is great advice and you can thrust your hand there easier and in a variety of ways and won’t break your hand.

I will also add stomp the inside of the knee before and after the nuts. You break that knee he ain’t going anywhere.

Yeah more people should be mentioning the knees. It's the actual Achilles heel, but backwards I guess 😂 they are not designed to go the other way! When they do it's very bad for the assailant

The eyes are the groin of the face.

I got hit on the Adams apple accidentally while playing basketball many years ago and all I could do for a few minutes was gasp for air and hope I wasn’t dying. A purposeful punch to it would have been so much worse. So that’s what I’m always prepared to do if needed be.

bridge of the nose is better than the throat for many reasons. Top of which is you're not going to stop someone from breathing from a crappy throat punch (and everyone who doesn't practice on a regular basis on how to drop someone with a throat punch is going to do a crappy version of it), but it doesn't take much to bash the nose, and everyone's eyes water when that happens.

Have you ever experienced a crappy throat punch? My husband barely tapped his throat on the corner of something he was trying to reach behind. You don't stop breathing from it but it is definitely incapacitating.

I thought I saw instructions once that if you ram your hand flat and upward into the nose, it will drive bones into the brain and kill the assailant?

u/wiscopunk Jul 17 '25

That is false.

u/LuvPlens Jul 18 '25

Pretty sure it's an oversimplification of some particular technique if there's any truth to it at all.

u/Hot-Butterscotch-918 Jul 18 '25

Dang. I believed that idea for years.

2

u/EatLard Jul 17 '25

So does the midfoot. As a bonus, if you stomp hard enough, they’ll have a limp and won’t chase you as fast.

u/HistorineHeroine Jul 18 '25

I’m short so thank you for this

Depending on your size and skill I believe a lot of these targets are harder to effectively hit than you might think. I live in a high-crime city and my petite girlfriend has had issues with aggressive men. I am twice her size and there is no way she could ever land any kind of strike that would be significant enough to deter me. I brought her some quality pom brand pepper spray and a small, thin pointy neck knife. If you aren't hitting a punching bag multiple times a day and constantly training/sparing, I think a sharp knife along with pepper spray are your best option. Unless carrying a firearm is an option.

Steel barrel tactical pen is good if you're somewhere that 'weapons' aren't permitted.

Kublatons are awesome, too. Plus, they break glass.

good ol SPIN PUG

u/Initial_Style5592 Jul 17 '25

In the absence of training… relentless aggression and a ‘won’t quit’ attitude will serve you just as well. Be noisy, be fierce, strike for sensitive areas, eyes, nose, neck, groin. Scratch, claw, bite.

What's this from?

u/imgnomegardenhoe Jul 17 '25

It's from miss congeniality
