Carrying guns or any self-defense tools is impractical and, in some countries, even illegal. There is an old saying in my community that the greatest woman’s weapon is her charmπ. Who would disagree but not very useful in a self-defense situation, is it? However, there are some other weapons that we often wear or carry without even realizing.
One day
Linda surprised us at the end of the class with an unusual announcement. “Next class we are going to have a party, so come adequately dressed. It
applies to you two as well, she pointed at surprised Bob and Peter.” We all were already accustomed to her strange ideas and unconventional pedagogic
approaches but why not?
“Party with Linda, that’s gone be fun!
With all those exams and stress, I am ready for some fiesta!” joyfully exclaimed Ana when we headed for the showers…
In the
afternoon before the class, standing in front of my wardrobe I got into total
panic mode. I was a university student living on a budget, so my closets were not
overfilled with the latest fashion pieces. I did not go often clubbing or to
parties and by no means I am a show-off person. I spent my spare money on casual
clothes I could wear on different occasions, classes, exams, and visits to my
family. Burgundy midi dress was
my choice for Linda's party
“Damn it, it is what it is!” I grabbed my wine high school prom midi dress, beige high heels sandals,
and a small purse I got from my mom. What a relief it was that the dress still fitted
almost perfectly. I put my hair in a low bun and put on make-up, rather modest.
“Should do just fine!” I assessed my look in the mirror. It
is going to be a self-defense lesson after all not a fashion show.
When I
entered the dojo, I was greeted by loud chatter, careless laughs, and the smell
of perfume and some oldies music, all indicating a real party was already going
on. Linda, most of my classmates and Bob and Peter were already in. It was amazing
how other girls dealt with Linda’s unusual request. One could see all types of dresses, some more casual
outfits such as a white shirt and jeans worn by Rebecca to some creative high-end pieces
such as Louise's chic sequin bodycon dress. Bob and Peter just wore some fancy slim-fit
T-shirts and jeans and sneakers. But still, they looked cool, their fit bodies
were always their prime peacock plumage.
Linda waved
at me and offered me a drink. Non-alcoholic of course. She looked completely different in a one-piece
pantsuit with a floral pattern. That strict athletic trainer we used to know, now became a glamorous party enchantress.
The mood
was great but unfortunately, the fun did not last long. Linda suddenly interrupted
our excited banter, turned off the music, and announced that it was time to
start the class. She finally revealed why all of this.
“Well, it was no mistake I asked you
to come dressed like this. I want you to be prepared for all possible situations
and most likely you won't be attacked when in sneakers and gym sweatpants. Statistics
show that many sex attacks occur during parties, celebrations, team building, and
other social gatherings when inappropriate sex behavior and sex attacks are driven
by alcohol, flamboyant atmosphere, and revealing dresses. Importantly, always remember
you can turn parts of your outfit into very useful self-defense assets. No need
to carry any cumbersome and conspicuous self-dense tools, that are hard to fit
in a small purse. This is the reason we are having such an unusual class today.
I want you to teach me how to utilize the things you have readily at your
disposal in these situations” There are different types of high heel shoes,
all can be an excellent weapon
She glanced at our legs. “I see most of you put on different footwear types with high heels on.
Good choice! Self-proclaimed experts often say that you should prefer wearing
something sportier that allows you to run away fast when needed. Hmm…Those
people probably did not see Claire running from the old Tyrannosaurus in Jurassic
World π.”
“Joking aside,” Linda continued, “If you need to run fast from any danger, obviously you should take them off, but you can also turn such footwear into an excellent weapon. Let me demonstrate.”
Take the high heel shoe off and use it as a weapon.
She pointed at the black top piece. “The surface area of the top piece is app 1 to 2 square cm and when
standing you exert pressure over 200 atmospheres!”
She took a walnut from her pocket, put it on
the floor, and trod it. It immediately shattered into small pieces and splatted
all over the place. I just recalled how difficult it was when we learned the
nutcracker technique and tried to crack the walnuts in our hands.
“Not only heels but
also a hard-toe box is an excellent kicking surface against any soft area on
the male body.” We all
knew what kind of prime target point she had on her mind.
She asked
Peter to come closer so she could show us all the possibilities for the male body's
anatomical destruction. “I see an attacker approaching me, or
he is close to me and already touching me without my permission and making some
unwanted sexual advances. So, I take off one of my shoes. It is important to
hold it like this, very firmly. I can now poke him in the eyes or hit him in the
temple, and once he is now covering the injured parts on his face and being distracted,
I can go downwards, and with a sharp circular motion I hook the scrotum sack,
well behind like this and pull sharply outwards, like you wanted to completely remove
that pendent part of his body.” We sighed as she, totally insensibly
to the scared expression on Peter’s face, demonstrated the move, not forcefully
but informatively. We all cringed as Peter's bulge protruded because of being
hooked by Linda’s new fashion weapon of mass destruction.
Linda explained
further. “This move is effective even if has his
pants on, of course, the best effect can be achieved when he is in underwear or
exposed.” After those words, Peter looked absolutely agitated, clearly
because realizing he was not going to get away from such a type of detailed and
realistic demonstration. “With the shoe still on my foot, I can
kick, stomp on his instep, or rake his shin.”
She turned
around so Peter appeared behind her. “Especially deadly are rear scoop or mule
kicks with high heels.” To show us what she means, she swung
up swiftly her leg and the stiletto gently lifted one side of Peter’s package. “When done with force and precisely, testicle destruction is inevitable,” Linda added. I don’t think none of my classmates would have any doubts
the moves Linda was showing are to be devastating. Peter's expressions showed he would not either.
“Now let’s see how it works when the target
is fully exposed,” she made a commanding gesture
toward Peter. Peter, obviously not that willingly, unfastened his belt and
pulled down his pants and boxers. Not the first time we got a full sight of his
willy and hairy young man’s low hangers, but some blushing was unavoidable.
“So now we have a situation where the
attacker is close and exposed, he wants to proceed with a forced sexual act. No
obstruction ahead, time to do the hooking unexpectedly but resolutely. But be
sure you latch the top piece well in the groove of the rear skin pouch and pull
as much as possible, using the momentum of your arm.” She again did that,
and the scrotum was tugged upwards and away from his body. Poor Peter got lifted on his feet and moved
forward to ease the pull. The two hairy oval organs jutted out and the penis got
pushed to the side. Hook the testicles well in the groove
in the back of his scrotum and pull sharply outwards.
We wanted to be sympathetic and professional but some of us could not resist chuckling a bit. The sight was simply too funny. But we understood the necessity of these demonstrations for learning the techniques and that if performed in
full force Peter or any other guy would lose his two orbs forever. Linda finally eased the tug, let the male
organs again hang in their place, patted relieved Peter on the shoulder, and
let him take care of his little bit disturbed testicles. And we were looking
forward to the following practice….
Oh. This is some special method of castration. But here the scrotum ruptures, there will probably be blood, blood on your shoe, your hand, your dress... It will look very brutal and bloody. Horror and shock for him, but probably also for you, if you are not a butcher.
ReplyDeleteI think, if a woman has testicles in her hands, it is much more convenient, cleaner and faster to just squeeze (old proven method). And do not take off from the leg the shoe and apply to the testicles for brutal bloody castration. And if for some reason you have a shoe in your hand, is also more comfortable for you to just give a hard hit to the testicles. But I understand, she wants to show everything.
Hi, thanks for your comment. That's right, this technique can lead to scrotum tearing and even castration. If he is wearing pants this most likely would not happen but still, it will cause enough damage and pain. Linda taught us different options, and although using just hands on naked testicles can be more straightforward and still very effective, in a situation you already have the high heel shoe in your hand and he has his pants on, adding scrotum hooking in your technique sequence can be a way to go. Regards, Wendy
DeleteGirls don’t stand a chance against guys lol
ReplyDeleteHi, you want me to show you, that you are wrong :) Be careful what you wish for. Wendy
DeleteIf girls could beat guys than why do you rarely hear stories of it happening
DeleteThere are many stories out there, just maybe you do not want to see. Wendy
DeleteUntil the law changed in the UK to protect victim anonymity, the (now defunct) News of the World Sunday newspaper regularly featured stories of attempted rape. Would-be victims nearly always attacked the testicles in order to escape. It was by far the most effective technique used. The paper once even had a photo of a female reporter kicking an assailant in the balls. It worked. Anyone who thinks that his nuts are invulnerable is asking for a nasty surprise!
DeleteHi Reg, thanks for the comment. I was not aware of the newspaper, but really good it published such inspirational stories. Even women without any formal self defense training were given good and simple advice on how to react in case of an attack. Regards, Wendy
DeleteHow is this technique affected by the size of manhood
ReplyDeleteHi, if he has sizeable testicles the technique is much more effective because you can hook and latch the heel more effectively. The size of the penis does not matter. The target is the testicles. Regards, Wendy
Deletealso erect one makes it easier to do
DeleteEasy and cleaner access to the big plums + low hanging welcome
Conclusion: If you want anything that moves and immediately. You are in greater danger because you have a standing column
What about small knife? Do you recommend that?
ReplyDeleteHi, not that it would be useless, actually can be helpful in some situations, but who wants to carry a knife for a party or jogging? This can lead to an injury to the owner. Regards, Wendy
DeleteI would be the perfect dummy to practice kicking in the balls. I like this kind of danger.
ReplyDeleteHi Lexburn, be careful what you wish for, this was not a regular self-defense class, and it definitely was not a piece of cake for the two guys. Requires a lot of nerve, bravery, and patience. Regards, Wendy
DeleteThank you for your concern, Wendy. I've been kicked in the balls a lot during my life and my testicles have permanent damage, but they're still intact. So I think I could be useful to you :)
DeleteDo you still finish easily after all the kicks and damage?
DeleteI think there is an effect on the eggs after sustained damage. from my experience
It's been a minute since you've included a diagram of testicles going through some sever trauma. I was starting to think you were toning down the blog.
ReplyDeleteHi. Well, I hope it is not too disturbing for the readers, but these diagrams are important educational tools to explain the techniques in detail. A picture is sometimes worth 1000 words. Regards, Wendy
DeleteI think you are right to publish these details. If seeing what could happen deters even one rapist then it's well worth showing.
ReplyDeleteHI, thanks for your support, you are right, maybe not the nicest thing but needs to be shown because it counts. Regards, Wendy
DeleteWendy, in which country are you, and your school? England or another country?
ReplyDeleteHi, England?! come on my English is not so good. I come from Central Europe. The country is secret :) Wendy
DeleteThanks for this article. I have been teaching women in my courses to use heeled shoes for defense for many years. Mostly, I admit, to attack the upper half of the attacker's body. But of course it's true that what you're demonstrating is also right on. It's certainly very devastating and effective.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not entirely sure how the courts in this country would look at this in assessing whether the defense was reasonable
Petr
Hi Petr, thank you for your support. Yes, you are right heels can be used effectively against targets on the face and we practice also this, not only targeting testicles :) Well, I think if there was a sex attack going on I think using the heel to defend would be definitely taken as a proportional response. Keep on doing a great job of educating women in self defense. Regards, Wendy
DeleteI can tell by experience a high heel to the eye would finish off any opponent. Period, for like 30 minutes. I would take 5 full force kicks on the testicles than just once single high heel in the eye. Its beyond devastating although there is very little information about this because for obvious reasons no one tries it.
ReplyDeleteHi AndrΓ©, you are right using a heel to poke an eye can be very devastating, even more than using fingers. We should keep in mind all the options. Sometimes the face, sometimes the genitals are more available. Linda taught us a quick sequence of techniques, especially in order, to attack up there and then go down there An attack of the face can be followed by an attack on the testicles. Regards, Wendy
DeleteDo you think testicles are the most vulnerable part on a guys body
ReplyDeleteYes, I do, although as already discussed eyes are for instance also pretty vulnerable. Regards, Wendy
Deletedo you have eyes/ Do you think they are vulnerable? what about your throat?
DeleteSure they are vulnerable. I admit it. It is good there many vulnerable target to choose from and in different position on the male body, men have stronger bodies but have more vulnerable points. Even the throat is more vulnerable because of the Adam's apple. I will discuss this in future posts. Regards, Wendy
DeleteWho do you think wins in a fight with no rules the average guy or average girl
ReplyDeleteHi, every situation is different and depends on what you mean by average. If there are no roles any guy is in big trouble and most likely will lose. Regards, Wendy
Deleteis it really so easy to beat a guy in a no-rules fight? even with the strength and size advantage?
DeleteNot that it would be 'easy' but quite unexpectedly doable even for the weakest of us. If a woman goes for the weakest spots with the right technique the strength and size are for nothing. A man cannot train his testicles or eyes, regardless of his physique. This was the outcome of taking Linda's self-defense course. Regards, Wendy
DeleteIf this man trains to use his size and strength to keep his balls out of harm's way, are his odds better than 50-50?
DeleteHi John, well I do not know the statistics :) If he is putting too much effort into protecting his testicles, he inadvertently exposes other vulnerable points on his body, such as his eyes and Adam's apple. So hard to say but his odds in a no-rules fighting will be low. Regards, Wendy
DeleteIt's funny how that works. A strong guy with big testicles is no match for a snap kick, a punch, or any number of other techniques coming from a small but well-trained woman
DeleteA heavy handbag is a good weapon. A hit will take down a man who is "well equipped"
ReplyDeleteHi John, yes. A good swing and precise aiming can do quite some damage, and even that man is not so well-equipped :) Regards, Wendy
DeleteIt is true. But with a less endowed man, you have to swing hard and accurately. If a man's pants are more "full", it is very difficult to miss your target and any bump to the bits will leave him clutching them on the ground
DeleteWhat is well equipped to you?
DeleteThe size of eggs
DeleteOstrich eggs or at least duck eggs :) Seriously chicken eggs (size M) I think qualify as 'well equipped'. Quail eggs size - definitely underequipped :) Wendy
Deletelol. Chicken eggs are indeed big enough to be very easy to target. They might be too large for a small hand to grasp. But a heavy handbag to the chicken eggs and it is "lights out" for the testicle owner, as you can be sure they will be knocked too hard for the man to handle. Anything bigger than chicken eggs, and he will need a supportive underwear 24/7 to keep his package safe from accidental bumps
DeleteHi John, exactly, large chicken eggs are an easy target for external blows such as being hit with a handbag, but more difficult to grasp both in a hand. Targeting and grasping just one testicle is advised in this case. Regards, Wendy
DeleteI have like m/l
DeleteWendy,es cierto que una bailarina aunque no lleve tacones puede reventar los testΓculos de un patada?
ReplyDelete¡Absolutamente! Si la patada es fuerte y dirigida hacia los testΓculos provocarΓ‘ la ruptura incluso si no se usan lleve tacones.Wendy
DeletePero creo que sΓ³lo con una no bastarΓa,es muy difΓcil que ocurra eso...hace falta mΓ‘s..
DeleteIf a guy was gonna attack you and got you in a bear hug and you could only choose one technique which would it be
ReplyDeleteHi, it depends, if my hands are still free I would find the testicles and perform the GTP of my life. No mercy to the guy's testicles. If my hands are restricted, a swift well-placed knee strike is a way to go. Regards, Wendy
Deleteif i have to invent a self defense shoe for woman i would add a secret metal tip (not like assassins creed) with the metal being camoufladge as part of the shoe, for sneakers the fix is easy, but i guess it could work for sandals, i think being able to drop an attacked with just one kick to the testicles its quite a need for woman self defense and a metal tip would help a lot
ReplyDeleteHi, AndrΓ© that is a good idea, maybe producers of shoes should think about it, it would not make them much more expensive. It is a pity they do not consider shoes as a potentially deadly female self-defense weapon and focus on just design instead. Well, not that looks and fashion are not important as well ;) Linda taught us how devastating can be a kick with a hard toe box, if metallic even better. Soft testicles and metal tip do not go well together :) Regards, Wendy
DeleteIronically i think it would really pay off for a woman if she can have beautiful fashion sandals with a secret metal tip, it would be an effort to really hide it from sight but on my opinion a totally worthy one. You could have that cute and harmless look that will make you easier to get a surprise kick to his testicles and the metal tip would make sure you only need one kick to end the danger. As you say i think its more a think shoe designers dont seeing this angle rather than that makes the shoe too expensive to produce.
ReplyDeleteI've mostly been a lurker for several months on this website while sending and recieving a few emails with Wendy. She's been proding/cajoling me to upload a response in her blog. So here it is.
ReplyDeleteIt's been said by others that Wendy can be slow to respond to her blog (knitting classes, etc.). Don't feel alone. I've sent her a few emails and she also responds back after 4-8 days that she is very busy. Except for one email that was quickly answered in two days. Wendy states "It was scary but at the same time hilarious". Her words not mine. Maybe everyone who wants a fast response should write scary but hilarious posts on her blog. Second thought, maybe not, as that might raise the bar to SUPER scary and SUPER hilarious for fast responses in the future.
Wendy said she'd rework the story and upload it to her blog as it needs to be told. We will see.
Anonymous one
H, Anonymous one, it seems you are bitter that I did not respond earlier and did not post the story. I am sorry the reason is that I am really busy at work, and I do my best to reply immediately but sometimes I cannot. I appreciate all people's input, you are no exception. I do not want to just paste stories I receive as main posts without any commentary and I want to convey a message as. You will have to wait a bit longer maybe e a week or so, and I will prepare a post. Hope you understand. Regards, Wendy
DeleteNot bitter, dry humor that I think you missed. Be assured, I'm not bitter. I can still remember what it was like to have to work.

Hi, thanks for the video. Well largely outdated, but some techniques are actually quite good and include also kicks to the testicles :) Regards, Wendy

Hi, thank you for your Women's Day wish. The link unfortunatelly does not work though, but anyway thanks :) Regards, Wendy
DeleteI really like the near-automatic condescending pat Linda always gives after causing pain to or demeaning or embarrassing Bob or Peter. It really shows her level of maturity, respect towards the two young guys, and professionalism... (NOT).
ReplyDeleteWhat would you suggest? That she shows no passion or appreciation towards them? She was supposed to be completely distant from them? They were part of the team and brave guys so she simply showed compassion. Regards, Wendy
DeletePatting them anywhere after inflicting pain on them - typically involving their testicles while six or seven women closely observe them IS demeaning and condescending - that's why she did it. It is not an act of compassion in any way, shape, or form, be serious. It is disrespectful at the very least. 'Passion' towards them? You really need to use an online English dictionary more often Wendy.
DeleteI would suggest that once she finishes demonstrating the technique she simply says either thanks ('add name of guy') or says nothing at all, and NOT touch them again until the next unpleasant experience they had to endure. Curiously, when Linda kicked them both in their naked testicles as they stood in front of all of you (that would not have been a pleasant experience for them, obviously), you were adamant that her remaining silent and not apologizing, after what I would think would have been one of the single most painful experiences they went through was proper, since you would never apologize to an actual attacker (surprise! - those guys weren't real attackers).
You seem to think that their bodies were in some way Linda's property - that by signing a waiver and agreeing to participate in the course - one you acknowledge they were not close to fully informed about, gave Linda the right to do what she liked with and to them. What you demand of men as far as respecting women's bodies you clearly do not extend the same right to men for with respect to women touching them.
You conveniently ignore the context in which her actions - and the nature of them, take place. A fully or partially nude young guy has his testicles struck by a woman that is almost twice his age, in front of 6-7 other young women, who are there to closely observe the technique and how he and his body reacts to it (flinch, yell, shake, whatever). If you don't think that puts ANY young man in an extremely vulnerable position - both physically and emotionally, then you're either willfully ignorant or incredibly naΓ―ve.
Last comment - I doubt VERY much if either of those guys saw themselves as 'part of a team'. They were there to fulfill the role of a mock attacker, to allow women to view and become familiar with the intimate details of male sexual anatomy, and allow their bodies to be used and abused in ways most people would find very troubling - having six female fingernails inserted into their urethra is but one example. The concept and construct of a team does not apply - regardless of how much you want to claim it was one.

Wendy, does the technique with the high-heeled shoe have a better chance of causing more shock and death than the death pinch does?
ReplyDeleteIf it does, that is the technique that would be strongly recommended on this blog.
DeleteReally glad you shared with your readers what your choice of dress was for the 'hook the male lab rat under his testicles and yank' training session. Were you just trying to impress with your fashion savvy, or just needed some B-roll in your story insert?
ReplyDeleteWe simply trained for different scenarios and the type of dress can be important. It is easier in jeans than in a formal robe right. But an attack can happen anytime anywhere. I try to describe everything so you get the idea how what it looked like in Linda's course. Regards, Wendy
Delete'When I entered the dojo, I was greeted by loud chatter, careless laughs, and the smell of perfume and some oldies music, all indicating a real party was already going on. '
ReplyDeleteSeems rather unlikely that it would seem much of a party to Bob and Peter, don't you think?
I think most men on this blog would love to change places with those guys!
DeleteThat makes a lot of sense, for sure. Your calibre of thinking rivals that of Wendy’s. It’s obvious to anyone that can think that young men would line up to have six or seven women, one after the other, hook the heel of one of their filthy high heeled shoes underneath their testicles, pull forward, and attempt to life them up off the ground. Naturally, they would have signed a waiver and given up legal rights that would be useful if they were injured. Yup, you’re a Nobel laureate with that kind of thinking. Either that or you’ve made the short list for a Darwin Award.
DeleteMethinks thou doth protest too much..
DeleteHi, good to hear there are a lot of willing candidates to be the darling attackers for Linda's course. :) But be advised, it is not a piece of cake. Regards, Wendy
DeleteI've assisted self defence instructors a few times over the years. I've never worn any protection and you're right about it not being a piece of cake. Most women were happy to engage with the techniques being taught but some were reluctant to attack the testicles - even without making actual contact during lessons. However, the occasional student would get carried away and land a real shot. I sometimes got an apology, but generally it just gave everyone a good laugh, even the ladies who said they would never do it.
DeleteHi, it is important to create a nice safe atmosphere and to work on breaking the ice. Kicking, kneeing and grabbing testicles is for most of us an awkward activity. Sometimes it takes time and effort to motivate and explain the important essential purpose - defending against a dangerous rapist. But at the end wearing groin protection is highly recommended for all male participants :) Regards, Wendy
DeleteIs that so? You parrot on over and fucking over, stating that male lab rats in a female self-defense course should only wear protection when it’s ’absolutely necessary’. Of course, it’s the female instructor that gets to decide when that is - not those that take all the risks. Gee, who could possibly think you hate men?
Delete'That strict athletic trainer we used to know, now became a glamorous party enchantress.'
ReplyDeleteDid she now? Who exactly was she going to 'enchant'? All she did is order innocent young men around and lift them off the fucking ground using her shoe positioned under their testicles. Doubtless that's 'enchanting' to a thing like you, but to normal people.
What do you think of this self defense technique with high heels?
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/9-x5v_TweFs?si=0I4Y0EKNXwMqI5Hn
She clearly used the toe instead of the heel. Too bad. She could probably have gone right through his nut with those.
DeleteTrue. To be honest, I think she could have easily defeated the man with even less effort if she just reached behind and did a GTP on his baby makers immediately after getting grabbed, especially because her hands were free
DeleteYes, the simpler the technique, the better. That's one reason I like this blog. Forget the fancy, twisty moves. Focus on thoroughly learning a few effective shots on the balls - far more effective. You still need to practice though, to gain confidence if nothing else.
DeleteHi all, yes I concur the assessment of all of you. Finishing him could have been much easier. A back kick with high heels to his testicles could have been added as well. The final stomp was commendable :) even though no heel was used on his testicles :). Anyway a very nice segment showing a successful defense from a rear bear hug, thanks. Regards, Wendy
DeleteI would add this: if grabbed like that, begin by turning your face towards the crook of his elbow - to relieve the pressure on your throat before fighting back. I agree with you about stomping with the heel.
ReplyDelete
