Here are a few tips to party safely:

1. Never drink anything that has been left unattended. If your drink leaves your sight, even for a moment, get a new one. If possible you should even watch the bartender as your drink is being made.

2. Don’t accept drinks from strangers. If you do choose to let someone pay for your drink, go with him and order it. Get it directly from the server/bartender.

3. If you have a “funny feeling” and think you have been drugged, you should alert a trusted friend, the venue staff, security, or the authorities immediately. Do the same if you think someone else has been drugged, or if you see someone spike a drink.

4. Look after each other if you are with a group of friends. Keep an eye on each other’s drinks. Make sure they are ok if you see your friend leaving with a stranger. Stick together.

5. Symptoms of drink spiking include feeling drowsy, feeling drunker than expected, confusion, difficulty walking or talking, memory loss, feeling unusually uninhibited, nausea, unconsciousness.

It just goes to show that size isn’t everything in women’s self defense. Sometimes all you have to do is struggle and attract enough attention to make the abduction more trouble than they are looking for!

Good job little girl!

In the heat of the moment you may forget which way to twist your arm out. That’s ok, just twist one way and if that doesn’t work twist the other!

One thing that makes it easier to twist out of his grip is to hit him with any of the other moves we teach just before you escape.

What you want to avoid however, is pulling directly away, that only tightens his grip.

Instead, use one key like a tiny knife.

Hold one of your keys like you would normally hold it to unlock a door. Hold it very tightly and use it just like you would use a tiny knife. You can stab or slash an attacker in self defense much more easily in this way.

To break an attackers grip you can even use the key to saw at his hand until he releases you. This works especially well if he has gabbed you around the waist from behind, which would put his hands well within your reach.

Whenever you are walking to your car, or anytime you feel their might be trouble, go ahead and get your keys out ahead of time. An attacker is not going to wait for you to find your keys! (The same can be said about your mace or pepper spray, HAVE IT OUT!)

Choose a sharp one

You will notice your car keys are usually the dullest keys you have, which is because they are used the most often. Grip the sharpest key you have when preparing to use keys in self defense.

You can even get a new key cut and not use it to unlock anything, which will keep it nice and sharp for self defense.
