Self-Defense for Women - Escape when Someone is on Top of You

During a street attack pretty much anything can happen. You can hit the ground very quickly if you are not stable on your feet. You can also trip and fall on the ground or get tackled by surprise. Therefore, knowing how to react when you are attacked on the ground is a very important aspect of self-defense. When you are on the ground with an attacker on top, you can place yourself in a guard position. This is a grappling term for defending on the ground. Your legs are wrapped and locked around your attacker's body to create a type of control on your attacker. With your legs wrapped around, you can move your assailant forward or backwards, making it more difficult for him to hit you. Also, this position allows you to lock him closer towards you, so that he can't escape while you are striking him. A few more important tips when you are in this position, is to: 1) Protect your head by keeping your hands up; 2) Strike your aggressor as fast as possible; 3) Get up as quickly as possible. In order for you to escape from that undesired position, you will need to trap your attacker's foot all while doing the "buck and roll" movement. If done correctly, you should be able to turn your attacker around and land on top of him. Of course, this would be a favourable position for you to strike and escape.
