Simple Self Defense Moves You Should Know 

Is it weird to want a whole season of self defense videos? I mean with these crazy times it doesn't hurt to know how to protect yourself right?

The only self-defense I need is knowing how to SING

I gave my girlfriend a suprised hug from the back today.........I got groin checked a couple times

If all else fails offer them a Pepsi

Things I can use when my brother wants to fight me.

founder of SHIELD huh, Nick Fury will visit you shortly...

Who came here after Brett's video? 🤣

Anyone else come here from The Comments Section?

Sometimes i like my own comments to get it started

I saw a kidnapping today, I decided not to wake him up

Go Brett!

I feel like they expect an attacker to not be trying

Did you hear that Rickon Stark? If someone's shooting at you, you run ZIGZAG

Does this work on a bear?

Who came here from Brett Cooper's video

Wow, just when I thought Brett couldn’t get any better 😮

Don’t mess with Brett Cooper!

"I'm the founder of SHIELD" Nick Fury wants to know your location

Came here from the comments section

these are great for beginners. I started taking Taekwondo classes when I was 7 and stopped when I was 11, and I've gained the experience to be able to completely take down a 6', 200 lb man. I deeply encourage anyone (not just women!!) to look into taking self defense classes because you never know when they may save your life.

Can guys use this? (If they're in a similar situation)

I'm going to remember these moves, because you can never know when something is going to happen and then you're suddenly in danger. Thanks for sharing them!

Brett cooper cameo!

This was so helpful thanks!! As a female teen it’s probably good to know things like this I really want to share this with more people so other ladies can stay safe too! Also if someone is chasing after you or harassing you just first of all start running and while your running go absolutely INSANE!!!! Scream, screech, yell, yell for help, yell FIRE (This will help if anyone is ignoring you because people will just come running to see stuff burning 😂) you can bark, become a dog, start dancing, start coughing really loudly literally ANYTHING!!!! I heard this one story where a girl took her bright red lipstick out of her bag and started smearing it all over her face, that WORKED!! Seriously if you are being kidnapped make yourself a pain in the A** to kidnap. Also if you see a random girl while someone is bothering you go up to them and act like you know them and your their best friend even if you have no clue, when you go out alone stick together with whoever you can find

Nelson Nio: I’m the founder of SHIELD Peggy Carter & Howard Stark: Who is this man?

Simple Self Defense Moves That Probably Won't Work reason: Tempo. All of this action requires the attacker to not take further action, odds are if someone is doing all this to you then they intend to do more. If you think crunching down on someone's forearm is defensive you're going to get smacked in the face, hard, and repeatedly.

This might be useful against someone who doesn't know how to fight, but as always it's better to avoid dangerous situations in the first place if possible.

"Just run in zigzag and scream", I just imagined myself doing that, wtf so funny 😂

Very helpful video, each move clearly explained and great additional advice 👍

Husband: *surprises wife by hugging her after being away for a long time* Wife:

You're a good guy 💯

at a self defense class i took, i learned that the groin is not always the best place to attack, because guys are good at protecting it and it won't always stop them. eyes and throat are great because it will be harder for your attacker to pursue you if they can't see and/or breathe well. i also learned to kick the knees to impair them from running after you.

Him: I'm the founder of shield Me: WTF you're not Nick Fury

Thank you so much for these awesome tips! Let's hope we don't have to use them but if we do, I pray these all come to mind straightaway!! I should join some martial arts 🤔 classes too

I like the idea of doing videos about self defense, also some of the tips are very useful.

The most important thing you should know about self defense is you can't learn it from youtube.

I clicked on this video and went "wait was that brett?!" (Love you Brett 🤩)

Now this is useful videos buzzfeed... Thank you..

i want to see a 5 feet woman do any of these moves to a 6 feet+ dude ... and unless you train these moves weekly if not you'll panic when shits get real

Bert Cooper

I agree. Good stuff. I see what he is teaching. This guy is showing stuff that works. Ive studied martial arts for a long time....that's why I know.

i have watched this 5 times and know them by heart

Thanks you are doing a great thing for women ,Thank you

This warms my heart. Thanks BuzzFeed. 😊

Good job Buzzfeed, something that is worth my time.

FINALLY! Buzzfeed has uploaded a video that's interesting and useful

scrolls past the video in feed... gets mugged the next day... comes back to video...face palming so hard!!!

I need to practice this on someone Maybe i should try it on my brothers 💀😂

this video was super helpful!! thank you!!

Thank you! This is gonna help with my mother who will be dealing with my uncle who turned to alchohol..

“Just relax” kinda hard when the adrenaline kicks in

Attacker: hey u gime yo money!!! Me: *Uses buzzfeed's video fighting skills* Me:*Gets robbed* Me: i shouldnt have trusted buzzfeed 😂

We need more videos like this one. Amazing job

Where's that Ramsey guy when you need him? I love how with that hair grab, the man conveniently left his arm behind him for you.

Oh was i supposed to look at her hands?

OMG! My self defense teacher's name is Nelson.

Finaly a buzzfeed video that is actualy helpful

Fabulous advice thank you 😊

It's really sad that this has to be addressed, no one should need this and actually have to use it. Aside from that, it is good that buzzfeed is doing something useful to help protect us.

that guy should sue whoever cuts his hair

This is helpful but it just kinda makes me anxious if it'll happen to me and I actually have to do it

finally a video that is actually worth watching. thanks buzzfeed

I'm in karate and another key point is the knees

who just seen brett's new video

Thanks Brett

That was actually really helpfully, thanks

Wish I knew this when I was younger..

Go Ben Shapiro's sister! 😂

Great video... thank you!!

Really helps.Thanks.Everyday at school,my brother and his friends beat me up badly.I just hope I can do something this time....

Actually the best self defense is 100 meter dash

This guy is amazing for teaching people this

This is very helpful. thank you for this buzzfeed

He's got some good points,most of it are but there's some moves that are barely ineffective.

I feel like the self defense isn't the biggest thing women have a problem with, its their emotional state of mind and shock.

HI RANDOM PERSON SCROLLING RUGHTS NOW!!! I just want you to know that you are beautiful and you are loved! That's all :p

He is an Amaizing teacher ! I respect you sir❤

Now that's a great video buzzfeed!

she lowkey look like kendall jenner

Honestly, as a kickboxing instructor and fighter who teaches women's self defence classes, these videos will do little to nothing, it's just not very realistic and applicable. Do yourself a huge favour and join a local boxing, kickboxing or MMA gym and take a few classes. It's an awesome workout and you'll learn a lot more and actually use it in a safe and controlled environment. I just don't want people thinking watching a few videos is enough and this is something I'm passionate about lol

In a perfect world, yeah this is useful. One of the best tips is to always have a plan no matter where you are. Have a plan, be aware and alert and if possible break bones. They are trying to hurt YOU, don't be afraid to hurt them.

These are very good and easy techniques ...great job👍

"if someone point a gun at you run in zigzag" proceeds to get shot 😂😂😂

Am I the only one who thought the girl was Kendall Jenner

Thank you!!

Me and my family practice this a lot cuz I found his video, and I’ve been training!! I have punching gloves and sometimes punch soft things like this giant bear in my room

Is that really Brett Cooper?

...and Judo too. This is a great video you've done here. Great demonstration.

Thank you!!!

why should just women know them?

What moves are best at protecting you from buzzfeed nonsense?

Was interested to see the "grabbed from behind defense" and was not disappointed haha, that would definitely get you free!

I agree that technique is more important than strongness

You just read this in ur mind

People who dislike this are clearly agressors D:!

this is a great video! more lile this please, actual helpful things!!

Finally a useful buzzfeed viedo

I have to disagree, never ever strike a man if you have a clear chance to run away Men are far stronger, than a woman so if you have an oppritunity to run don't attack. the best way for women to win in a fight is to avoid it, to run and flee, and to run into a crowded area by yelling and screaming if possibe, this will allow her to be safe while contacting authorities and getting by standards to be a phsyical saftey. However if you must fight, never ever go to the ground, gauge out eyes kick the groin if neccessary and use weapons if it means saving your life. Hollywood gets it wrong a man will most likely win in a fight against a woman no contest, a fight isn't some epic scene it's bloody and brutal the best thing to do is to run away and if possible and ideally go to a public place.
