New proposal! Women's self-defense: throwing objects

 How about throwing something at a woman in self-defense?

This method can even be used to counter a handgun. Just throw anything nearby at the enemy. It could be a book, an alarm clock, or even a metal sledgehammer. The enemy will be in pain and won't be able to move for a while. You can use that time to run away, or grab a frying pan, a nearby stick, or a broom and hit them with it as hard as you can, which will probably make them run away. If they get hit and hurt by something, they'll lose the will to fight and will think about running away.Call 110 on your smartphone, or yell out loud, "Someone! Help me! Call the police!"＜The telephone number 110 is the emergency number to call the police in Japan.＞

Now that you've decided, it's time to practice! If you practice, your body will move automatically when the time comes.

So, I, Dr. Idea Man, bought a sponge as a practice tool. It's a dishwashing sponge. It's useful because it doesn't make any noise when it hits the wall. So you can practice. It's pretty good, isn't it? I'm practicing now.

Place a sponge somewhere, and when you look at the door, someone's there! Look towards the door. Then pick up a sponge and throw it at the door! Eeeeek! It's best to have two or three. Throw them one after the other. After that, grab a nearby stick, broom, frying pan, or something, go to the spot where you threw it, and Eeeeek! Hit it hard! ...And there you have it. You can also throw the sponge at a wall. See, it doesn't make much noise, right?It's perfect for practicing. Rubber balls make a lot of noise, so I thought there must be a better way. So I used sponge.

Of course, in actual combat, you don't throw sponges, but books, dictionaries, alarm clocks, remote controls, rice bowls, 1kg iron bars, etc. You use sponges to get used to the series of actions of quickly grabbing and throwing random objects lying around.

Throwing objects has a long range, and can attack from a longer distance than sticks or knives. You can even use it to attack someone with a gun. If it hits you, it hurts a lot, and it will discourage the opponent from fighting. You can practice this with a sponge.

If you can't get a sponge right away, soften some paper, such as copy paper, roll it up, and tape it down. For B4 size paper, roll it up gently so that it's about the size of a baseball. Then, tape it down in one or two places so that it doesn't lose its shape. When you throw it, it won't fly very far due to air resistance, and it will still hit the wall, but it will make almost no noise.

By the way, there is no point in aiming for accuracy here. We practice this kata, or form. This is practice to quickly grab something that is casually placed.

In times of emergency, practice quickly grabbing something nearby and make it a habit. Then, incorporate throwing things into your lifestyle. Make it a habit. If you make it a habit, you will remember that option when the time comes. If it's not there in your life, you won't even think of it in stressful situations. So, train yourself.

1. Place the sponge casually nearby and sit quietly as usual.

2. Look at the door. A suspicious person is here!

3. Throw the sponge toward the door where the suspicious person is. Eh!

4. If you have two or three, throw them one after another. Eh, eh!

5. Grab a stick, broom, frying pan, etc. and go to the door where the suspicious person is.

6. Swing the stick. Eh!

You can also use a smartphone.
