This is commonly seen in bar fights where a guy is pissed off, comes up behind you, grabs your arm to turn you around, and takes a swing. It is also very common in multiple attacker scenarios.\n\nUsually, one guy will pick a fight with you while his buddy comes up behind you and grabs your arm to restrain you. This video shows you a simple and easy-to-master technique that will <a href=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/nbcv\/SAFE\/ntbt-k.php?utm_campaign=SAFE&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=KathyViciousTakedown_1-6-12&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">take out any attacker<\/a> who tries to grab your arm from behind.<!--more-->\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<div class=\"flex-video\" style=\"float:none!important;margin: 0, 0, 1rem, 0!important\">\n\t<iframe width=\"1365\" height=\"947\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SMFqkVwMCZQ\" style=\"border:0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 medium-centered large-6 large-centered columns\">\n\t[dfads params='groups=290&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']<\/div>\n<h4>Breaking It Down<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-4 large-3 columns right align-to-p\">\n\t<img src=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/step1-groin-grab-300x174.png\" width=\"100%\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem;\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/step2-kneck-strike.png\" width=\"100%\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem;\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/step3-flip.png\" width=\"100%\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-12 large-9\">\n\nAs you can see in the video, the groin strike is crucial to this move. Your attacker will expect you to fight his arm which is what most people instinctively do. Because of this he won't have time to block his groin.\n\nThe key to the forearm strike to the base of the skull is to pivot and drop your body weight into it. Many times these two moves alone will take him to the ground, ending the street fight and giving you a chance to escape.\n\nIf he is still on his feet, grabbing his head and controlling him by hooking his eye socket is a powerful move. He will go where you want him to, especially since he will be off balance from your previous two attacks.\n\nAs shown in the video, turning his head while stepping backwards gets him completely off balance, letting you throw him to the ground. This will effectively end the street fight, or, in a multiple attacker situation, give you time to deal with the other guys. Depending on the situation, you may need to follow up with kicks and stomps to finish the job or you can just make your escape. It's your choice.\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-8 medium-centered large-8 large-centered columns\">\n\t\t[dfads params='groups=290&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']<\/div>\n<h4>About Kathy Long<\/h4>\nKathy Long is a 5 time Kick Boxing Word Champion, Black Belt Hall of Famer, accomplished stunt woman, and won her first and only MMA fight back in 2009.
