Expert Answer

If you truly need to resort to violence, aim for a vulnerable area like the head or groin.

Question

Should I wear loose or tight fitting clothes to fight?

Community Answer

You should wear tight-fitting clothes so your opponent can't pull your clothing. If you wear loose clothing, your opponent can pull you around by your clothes.

Question

What do I do if the girl has long nails?

Community Answer

You have an advantage as she is not going to be able to punch that hard, as the nails get in the way of making a fist. On the other hand, she can scratch you; if she does and it's near your face, grab her hand and twist. Make sure you bend her backward when you twist her hand, then kick her back. Let her go; she will automatically fall.

Question

Why do girls pull hair when they fight?

Community Answer

Hair is easy to grab and makes an excellent handle. Because it is attached to the opponent's head, it is easy to lead the opponent around once you get a good grip.

Question

How do I fight back if a wild girl is flinging hits?

Dodge her hits by jumping back or moving around. Find her sensitive spot and use that to your advantage.

Question

How do I get her on the ground?

Community Answer

Get low and grab her legs with your arms; then push forward. She will fall down backward. If she pulls you down with her, it is still a good move because you will come down on top of her.

Question

How do you pose when you fight?

Community Answer

Place the legs apart for balance and steadiness. Have the hands ready to protect and always keep an eye open and watch your opponent -- never look down.

Question

What is the proper way to throw a punch?

Community Answer

Throw any punches so your arms stay level with your shoulders. If you have your chin down and the punch comes out straight, the shoulder will rise automatically and further protect your chin. Throw out the jab, but don't throw it too hard - it's a range-finder. Then detonate your cross.

Question

What if the girl I fight is taller than me?

Community Answer

Use her height against her. If she dives in toward you, use speed and timing to lunge out of her reach. You can also shove her shoulder in the same direction as she lunges to throw her off balance.

Question

What is the first step in disabling my opponent?

Community Answer

Go for vulnerable places like the eyes, stomach, groin, or breasts. Also, hitting them in the nose causes severe pain and makes them tear up so they can't see. Once you have them stunned, knock them to the ground by kicking their knees from behind.

Grab her hair firmly and drag her, or if she has a hoodie, grab it with one hand and use the other hang to grab her hair.

Could I drag them across the ground?

If you're strong enough and feel it's necessary then go for it, but remember they sometimes have an advantage in that situation.

Question

What if she hits me in the chest?

Community Answer

Hit her back. Don't let anyone hit you; that's a sign of disrespect and you have to let her know it's not okay. Don't let anyone disrespect you, otherwise everyone might start doing it.

Question

What if a girl kicks me in a stomach?

Community Answer

Girls always like to kick in the stomach, so work out in that area by doing crunches or sit-ups. When it's time to fight, squeeze your stomach muscles and it won't hurt you as much.

Wear two French braids. Tuck them under your hair with Bobby pins when you actually fight.

Question

How do I fight a girl who knows karate?

Community Answer

They will have signed a contract agreeing never to use their karate outside of karate class, unless it is for self-defense. They are not allowed to attack you with karate. (If you still find yourself facing someone who knows karate, use moves unfamiliar to them, or weapons. But if you're going to use weapons, be sure not to aim at sensitive areas. You're probably looking to prove a point, not seriously injure the person.)

Would a high bun stop my opponent from pulling my hair?

It will definitely make it more difficult for them to grab at it, but not completely impossible. It's definitely better than wearing your hair down.

No matter how you put up your hair, it will still be grabbed, so there is no ideal way to put your hair up to keep it safe in a fight.
