Kickback Lessons - Micro Moves: Release Techniques\nWhen we talk about \'Micro Moves\' we\'re referring to the small, but highly effective moves you can employ to break out of a hold. Using your fingertips and teeth, they are easy & instinctual...and they work! Particularly useful in close range attacks they employ the element of surprise. \nPinching: \n- Grab only a small amount of skin between your fingernails or fingertips.\n- TWIST!\n- Target areas: \no Tricep area: most places will hurt, but the area behind the upper arm, running from the elbow to the armpit is especially sensitive to this kind of pain. Useful if grabbed from behind and you can wrap your own arm across your body to reach up to the back of your attackers arm.\no Hamstring area: again, the area along the back of the upper leg, particularly towards the buttocks is highly populated with nerve endings and sensitive to this kind of pain. Use to break out of a head lock.\nSmall Joint Manipulation:\n- Grab ahold of just ONE of your attackers fingers with ALL of yours\n- Snap it back or to the side\n- Useful to break out of a bear hug from behind\nBiting:\n- Very instinctual move\n- The smaller the amount of skin between the teeth, the better\n- Utilizes the powerful muscles of the jaw\n- Some inherent risks involved if skin is broken. See below.\n- Especially useful is attacker has his hand over your mouth to keep you quiet\nPressure:\n- Use a small, hard or sharp part of your body to press into a soft area of his: your chin, a knuckle, your forehead.\n- Can cause enough pain to release a hold\n- Will have to follow up with another technique\n\nThe greatest thing about Micro Moves is how little strength they take to employ. There is some risk involved with all self defence moves, but Biting, in particular deserves special mention. You are more likely to create a blood blister than break the skin, but if it does happen, there is a small risk of contracting a communicable disease, in particular, Hep B, Hep C or HIV. One more reason why, if you are attacked, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. There are screening tests and treatments available, so please go to the nearest clinic or hospital if this happens to you.\n\nJoin the Empowerment Project and learn how to STOP the violence and Kickback - for free!
