2. “Armed” Self-protection Methods

Why is called “armed”? Armed means equip you with weapons. But it will be a very amusing scene to see a pretty girl taking a walk on the avenue with a kitchen knife or a broad axe in her hands. By doing so, even his beloved one will escape from her.

I suggest you take a small knife for self-protection purpose. The knife can be as small as the size that you can just hold and length of 3-5mm is enough for its blade. The knife does not need to be specially made, normal small ones would be OK.

What’s awful is not the knife but the techniques. There is saying in ancient China written as “Even a 3mm length of iron could be used to kill an enemy”. The way to hold the small knife is just like the way to hold an awl, i.e. holding the hand in your palm center with thumb and pointer on the blade. The just one gash, everything will be OK.

But how and where to gash?

First is to gash his vitals. Second is to gash as you like and that he can not cover.

If the offender seize you by your left wrist with his right hand, then you should gash his right wrist ruthlessly. With a deep wound, your mission is over. The wounded offender will have to press the wound and go to a doctor to save his life or in 5 minutes he’ll lay down dead for massive haemorrhage from his wrist artery.

If you are held from your side and your hand with the knife happens to be adjacent to his body, then just gash in the inner side of his thigh. Here is the nerve focus region and he will be sure to experience a great pain. If you find it necessary, you could gash either of his arms. This would thoroughly eliminate his bad behavior possibility.

If the offender seizes you by your shoulder, collar or hair, then your neck, what you should do is to gash his arms or anywhere you can reach, without rules. Gash long and deeply; just do this, no need considering about his safety. After all the doctor has enough seam and he could go there for suture or wait for dye as he likes

As long as you have a small knife in your hand, the offender who holds you from your backside will inevitably experience bad luck. If your hands can move freely, just gash twice on his arms. He will surely cry out like a pig being slaughtered. If your arms are held also, do not worry. He will soon turn to your front side. It will not be too late to gash him at that time and you’d better give him some advice.

For those who lift you with his arms, you can gash in his neck instead of biting. Then you’ll have no business to do.

In my view, human skin is no stronger than a piece of brown paper. With my methods, gashing will be an easy thing.
