What's the most effective self-defense move I could use?

[Oksana]

Does anyone know the one thing I can do that has the best chance of dropping a guy quickly?

I've been to self-defense classes before but I honestly can't remember half the shit I learned and although I've been looking online for 2 days, I seem to keep running into conflicting advice.

A couple that keep popping up are to try to gauge their eyes and a flat punch to the solar plexus (but what if I miss it??). Apparently a kick to the balls isn't that great because a guy could get a surge of adrenalin and actually get more fired up after that. Not ideal.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I just need one move.

He'd probably dropkick me in the head. I've given him shit before about asking for 'donations' on his website while claiming he wasn't a tout.

Shari, will this guy be charging at you with a full head of steam as you make your move to drop him or will he be a sitting duck, not expecting what you have in store for him?

Shari, hike up your skirt...... it has been proven women can run faster with their skirt up than a man can with his pants down.......

Get a dog.

pull guard or try and fall on your back and rapidly implement a triangle choke on him, doesn't matter if the person is 3x as strong as you, if you learn how to lock a triangle up you can pretty much kill or choke out anyone

Coming at me.

That makes a difference. Pull a weapon, that should deter him from advancing further. If not, use it on him. Find out what's legal to own/carry where you live.

The easiest....

My friend bought a kubaton for me. I keep it on my key chain. It's easy to learn how to us it. You can get one for less than $10 on Amazon.

It depends if he is armed or not and how is he armed. If he is armed with a firearm you defend yourself with a firearm. If he is armed with a knife or a crow bar you defend yourself with a taser gun. If he is not armed you can try to tackle him as long as you weigh the same or more than him.

Stuff you see on TV doesn't work like pulling his hair or giving him a wedgie. And the kick to the balls is a myth. A guy can get up after a kick to the balls and then you have to make sure you run fast because if he catches you..
