Basic Self Defense - Defending Yourself Against the "Arm Drag"

Basic Self Defense Against the Arm Drag Street Attack

The "Arm Drag" is a common street attack, particularly used against women in parking garages or other isolated areas. Watch this video by Sonny and Lisa Achille of Steel City Martial Arts for a safe, easy-to-use defense against the Arm Drag.  Practice it with your family and friends until it feels natural and you're sure that you can use it effectively. Once you're standing again, immediately run away and seek help.
