Martial Arts Self Defense Techniques That Prevent Rape

In more and more big cities around the world, women are studying martial arts self defense techniques in order to maintain their personal sovereignty

. Rapists come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, but they have a few things in common that a canny woman can take advantage of: they are aggressive, they want to be in control, they want you to be afraid, and at some point they have to get their penis out.

There are all manner of desperation gambits that can be used once that final stage has been reached, from biting and clawing to screaming in his ear. It's more important to look at how to keep things from reaching that stage. There are numerous de-escalation, negotiation, and escape techniques that can help, but let's assume you've reached the point where defending yourself means physical violence. It's a painful reality, but half of the women in the world will be confronted with the need to physically defend themselves at some point in their lives. If you can't go learn martial arts directly, at least knowing these martial arts self defense maneuvers can help.

Attack the Testicles

It's so basic that calling it a 'martial arts' move seems kind of silly, but consider: there's no faster way to ruin a rapist's intention. Whether it's a simple front kick or a major outer leg reap with a knee drop follow-up, any technique that will deliver significant damage to the testicles is the number one anti-rape in your arsenal.

Controlling the Weapon

Most rapists rely on fear, and many choose to generate fear by bringing a big, wicked-looking knife or a shiny chrome gun with them on their 'mission'. Martial arts self defense techniques that focus on weapon control are thus an important element an any anti-rape repertoire.

Kiaijutsu

OK, not really -- kiaijutsu is actually a Japanese martial art that focuses on channeling your ki through your voice and impacting opponents that are at a distance by yelling at them. But learning to really use your voice to shout real loud is a profoundly simple but very effective anti-rape weapon. It can be much harder than it sounds, especially for introverted women, to learn what it feels like to really let loose. Have someone push on your diaphragm while you hold a note, and you'll get an idea. Practice!

Ninjitsu

Seriously. You probably can't learn martial arts like ninpo taijutsu -- the actual fighting art that the ninja employed -- but the basic concepts behind ninjitsu are there for the using. First, conceal your intention, and second, use everything as a weapon. If you are about to be raped, conceal your intention by doing something totally unexpected: offer to take your clothes off. Act reasonable, tell him you don't want to have to buy more clothes...whatever -- and then reach down, take off your high heels, and beat the hell out of him with them.

Most rapes are crimes of opportunity. That means that even basic martial arts self defense techniques can scare off most rapists -- and as soon as you've done that, you've won.
