If that happens you have two options fleeing the area, or taking control of the situation. A push or shove is a violent act and will not likely be followed up with a peaceful resolution.<!--more-->\n<div class=\"flex-video\">\n<iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dS4zYcvhONM?&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;rel=0\" width=\"540\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\nI would normally recommend flying into a barrage of quick strikes to take the attacker by surprise, and prevent him from striking first. However, there are situations where an attacker pushes or shoves a victim, but doesn't immediately start his attack. As you can see in the video above an attacker may shove then drop his hands at his side while perhaps continuing a verbal assault, not thinking you are a threat.\n\nThe move Ray demonstrates in the video above is great for a situation like this. If you have access to his hand you can use it to quickly put him into a painful and immobilizing arm&nbsp;lock.\n<div style=\"width: 163px; height: 200px; padding: 5px; float: right;\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2247\" src=\"http:\/\/fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/arm-lock.png\" alt=\"The Reverse Arm Lock\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nThis is also a great move to use on someone who is drunk or otherwise out of hand in a situation where blowing out his ear drum with an ear slap would be considered overdoing it.\n\nAs with most joint locks speed is key, no attacker will stand there willingly while you put him into a joint lock. This is a fight move you'll need to practice slowly at first, but you'll eventually want to practice it at full speed. The goal is to have the attacker in the arm&nbsp;lock before he realizes what's going on.\n\nAgain, for most situations I recommend quick damaging strikes to immobilize an attacker but there are situations where that's not possible or appropriate. This is a move designed for those types of situations. The more you know the better your chances of surviving and winning in any situation.\n\nFor more simple restraint techniques, along with plenty of brutal lethal tactics (for when things get serious) check out <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/nbcv\/ASD\/ntbt-k.php\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ray's Aggressive Smack Down Tactics DVD Package<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/strong>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fights often start with an aggressive or belligerent attacker pushing you.
