How To Effectively Neutralize A Mugger
Posted on Nov 25, 2007 under How To Self Defense |How To Effectively Neutralize A Mugger
1. Remove nun-chucks from your belt.
2. Strike mugger in temple with nun-chucks.
3. If you have forgotten your nun-chucks or the mugger is able to disarm you, do not panic. The human body has a number of vital points that will render your mugger ineffective.
How To Effectively Neutralize A Mugger Without Nun-Chucks
1. When the mugger approaches, disarm him of any weapons he may be brandishing.
2. Take both of your thumbs and jam them quickly and sharply into mugger’s eyes.
3. If he is wearing sunglasses or similar eye protection, take two fingers and jam them up the mugger’s nostrils, with your palm facing upwards. Yank and pull on the nose as you jam the fingers further upwards. This does not feel good.
4. If the mugger is wearing some sort of helmet or face guard like a hockey mask and you have zero access to the muggers facial orifices, do not panic. Get in close to the mugger and raise one knee quickly and violently upwards. Your knee will be like a cobra striking the testes of your mugger. At which point you will be able to rip off the helmet or hockey mask and continue with steps 2 or 3.
The important thing to remember is that your mugger chose you for a reason. Maybe he liked your coat, or perhaps your shoes. Whatever the reason, remember to have no mercy as you neutralize your mugger, you may be very well preventing your mugger from striking again.

Indeed, this will totally neutralize your mugger. May I also suggest a fist to the throat, a sharp elbow to the solar plexus, and/or a pit bull or other large slobbering growling angry doggie. Which may very well keep you from being seen as a viable target.

Wow — good thing I always carry my nunchucks.

It’s rather sexist to assume that the mugger is male and has testes.

Connor - That might be true, but I’m just going on personal experience. Last time I was out mugging and got kneed in the testes it didn’t feel so great.
