How To Defend Yourself From A Seated Position

in #combat4 years ago

Stand up. Okay, I am just kidding. If you read this posting sitting somewhere, maybe you are wondering what to do if you are being attacked. Today we are going to talk about how to defend yourself from a seated position.

Sometimes you have no choice. You do not get to choose to fight. You are being attacked. So if you sit down on a chair, you cannot move much. Still, from a seated position, you can defend yourself and make your move. To attack you, the attacker has to come close to you.

As soon as you see the attacker is about to punch you, you can stop him kicking his legs. You can kick to his knee, grab his hand and pull. Then you can attack him.

In case the attacker gets close to you, you can attack the nearest target from there. You can hit him in the groin. And this is going to be painful. Then you can make your next move. You can do a lot of things to defend yourself. I'm just sharing some ideas about what you can do sitting on a chair.

When you feel that something is wrong and the guy can attack you, you can change your legs position sitting right there so that you can stand up quickly. Yes, you can stand up and deal with the attacker. Now you can move, and you have a lot of options.

You are sitting on a chair, right? So why don't you use the chair to defend yourself? If you can pick up the chair, you can use it to protect yourself and counter-attack. Having an open mind is very important. You can adapt to the situation and make your moves accordingly.

Some interesting tactics/suggestions here.

Let's hope no one ever has to attempt them though, that they don't get attacked in the first place. However, it happens I guess and at that point there's two sorts of people, prepared or victims. I know which one it's best to be.

I believe another element could be added here, prior to the tactics you suggest...*Situational awareness. Most are oblivious to their surroundings and potential threats. Having better situational awareness could prevent being accosted whilst sitting in the first place I suppose right?

Although...Having said that, most people are too busy with their head buried in their phone so situational awareness and any advantage through self-defence is probably never going to happen. Most have no clue what's going on around them, least of all what may become a threat.

Yes, we hope that no one has to face a situation where he has to fight for self defense. Situational awareness is key to detect what is about to happen. I agree with you. When you see what's going on, you can make your move to defend yourself.

Thank you so much @galenkp for your thought-provoking comment!

You're welcome...I respect those who have a greater awareness of what may happen and how to react to it or mitigate the threat. keep up the good work.

I am following your these series of posts for quite some time now, and I must admit, all of your tips are well suited for the situation. This post is no different, and gives some valuable advice to defend oneself in sitting position. Honestly, after reading this post, sitting position has started to seem a better position even for the attack to the attacker.

Have a nice day

Where you are, you can use your surroundings in your favor when it comes to self defense. As long as your hands are open and your legs are free, you can do a lot of things in order to protect yourself. Glad to know you found it useful.

Thank you so much @mobi72.build for your feedback! See you around!
