Protecting Yourself: The Importance of Getting Your Legs in the Fight

In a video of a pharmacy incident where a man attempts to abduct a 13-year-old girl, one key takeaway is the importance of getting your legs involved when being dragged against your will. In self-defense programs like Women Empowered, techniques like the drag defense are taught. By hooking your forearm, reaching for the attacker's arm with one leg, and pivoting, you can pivot around and get your legs in the fight, reducing the attacker's ability to pull you. This allows you to create separation, kick back, and regain control of the situation.
