When your attacker grabs your head or hair you should:

 

Technique 1.  Step up and press the elbow.      

 

1.      With your left hand quickly press and lock the attackers hand to the top of your head.

2.      With your right foot step up.  At the same time use your left hand to twist (lock) the attackerˇ¦s wrist and remove their hand from your head. Using your right hand press down on the back of the attackerˇ¦s left elbow. 

3.      Turning your right hand into a fist, rotate your wrist and apply pressure downward and forward to the back of the attackerˇ¦s right elbow.  (To do this sink your body weight down.)   At the same time continue to twist (lock) the attackers left wrist and pull it down and across your body to your left hip.

 

Key points:

 

  When applying the pressure on the left elbow it should be in a circular motion down and forward.  This motion should be in coordination with the sinking of your body weight.
