Description
You do not have to be big or strong to stop a man who is coming at you. You just have to know the few spots on his body that give out no matter his size, and exactly what to do the second he gets close.
I am Gary Benson, and after years in the military I have seen that the person who walks away safe is almost never the strongest one. In this video I walk you through 6 simple self-defense moves any senior can use, even at 60, 70, or older. You will learn the palm strike that will not break your hand, the eye strike that works on anyone, how to drop a much bigger attacker with the groin and the knee, how to rip your arm free when someone grabs your wrist, what to do when he already has hold of you, and how a plain walking cane keeps him at arm's length. Every move is built for older hands and older knees, and all of it points at one thing, getting away safe.
Stay sharp, stay ready, and take care of each other. Subscribe for straight talk on personal safety, home defense, and survival made for seniors.
