    She looks like a real-life Mortal Kombat character. Is that you, Kitana?

    4:16 is this supposed to be a joke!??

    5:08 yeah in many countries YOU are now going to prison for assault with a deadly weapon, good one 👍 🥶

    8:47 huh really!? Crazy thought

    9:20 slap them with a cloth bag, then skip away…. WTF is happening 😂

    11:31 You can also jab with the end of the bat. In fact, if someone is expecting you to swing, jabbing instead might help surprise them.

    Thank you. And thank you to the kind gentleman who willingly served as your unfortunate attacker for this episode.

  10. @ShatteredElegance

    This is, the greatest video, everyone needs to see.

    “Self defense amateur explains how to get hurt in as many situations as possible” Weird 😂

    I recommend having two or three scrunchy key chains with a couple of zipper locks locking them together. The key chains look like a bracelet once you attach the locks, but with a few locks, hit like a brick if you gotta swing

  13. @TheSkinnyZ

    Not really on topic, but she should star in a action/super hero movie!

    With all due respect, but the question in the thumbnail is idiotic. Why should I care who my attacker is?

  16. @thothtahuti5509

    April 7, 2026 at 8:57 pm

    24:28 it’s not, it’s doing the opposite!

    One thing you did not mention that I feel is important is to have shoes you can run in, heels with ankle straps, heels that fit right, no loose shoes, no slides, sandals that are secure on your feet. Also my keys are in my hand when I walk out of the grocery store, or other.

    • @ellenfoster9764

      April 7, 2026 at 9:03 pm

      Yes, keys not to poke someone, but to get in your car and lock it quickly

    April 7, 2026 at 9:02 pm

    i don’t agree with the push kick even as kids when we would play fight a push kick is so easily caught then guess what you cant run any more you might as well just say kick him in the balls

  19. @Demigah

    “I have options” 🔥🔥🔥

  20. @RandJohnson

    I’m just gonna skin and wear a porcupine and let the chips fall where they may.

    If you do for example narrowly avoid a creep targeting you in public like she described, don’t think making a police report is sufficient. Police exist to protect property first and foremost so if you’re not rich, being targeted in public is not high on their priority list. If you care about community support like she said in that answer, your first thought should be to warn your neighbors and any nearby establishments. Give them a description of the person so they can be avoided. That’ll do far more to protect your community than a police report

    Always re-stomp the groin!

  24. @gskr_1803

    10:56 what you came for

    Not true. If you are in a domestic situation, and you’re male, you need to leave. If you strike her, you will go to jail when the cops show up. In most states they have to remove one person, and if they show up and a man and a woman have been hitting each other, the man is going to jail.
