Video 2

This video shows you another technique that employs very little effort to get out of a hold that the average person would think to be almost impossible to get out of.  The hard styles of martial arts would tell you to punch the person here or to kick there to get out of most of their holds.  The danger with that is if you don't hit or kick hard enough for them to release the hold, they still have you, but now they are cranky because you've hit them.

The hold in this video is a common one seen in school grounds.  The bully holding the kid in a head lock trying to show how tough he is. As you can see, there is no hitting or punching, the child can get out of the hold and legally can't get suspended as there is no hitting involved.  Plus, the bully gets made to look like an idiot in front of his mates.

As with Video 1, you can clearly see that this simple technique could quite easily get you or a loved one out of a lot of trouble.

Techniques like this can be seen in the other four videos on this website, with many more in the Tae Shin Do book titled, “Common Sense Self Defence”.
