a wide open for a palm up to the chin

could you please tell us more. Putting ourselves in the woman's position, would one come into the chin with the left or right? lock elbow or no just push upwards? and would one put a left leg out or forward to counteract the roundhouse? or turn into the perps body? Thanks for any tips.

Step back and avoid the ‘’round house’’. The kid was what is called in boxing ‘’telegraphing his punch so that's a warning something is coming. For anyone who can box or knows other martial arts a moron who does this is a dead man If that had been me that kid was lining up on, even at 62 I'd have been sitting in the back of a police car because I'd have knocked the kid unconsious. If you've never had martial arts training it's more than likely you wouldn't know what was coming. As someone who has though I would tell you this:bring both your arms up as if you were going to box only hunch your shoulders a bit, kind of pull your head in so that your protecting your head and face and kick straight at your attacker. Anyone can kick someone. You don't have to be Chuck Norris just step in to your opponent and him for the groin area or just slightly above but it's best to aim for the lower part of the gut area and yell, scream loud, real loud. This tends to disorient your opponent and it will also give you more of an adrenaline rush and a bit more of an aggressive force and keep kicking , punch if you can but keep yelling. That will often attract someone who might come to you aid or it will bring the cops.

Further more the heel of the hand, not the palm but the heel of the hand is capable of doing SERIOUS damage to the human jaw bone. Try this, right arm or left, either one. Bring your arm back along the side of your body, with your fingers and thumb bent in such a way that your palm is open, don't make a fist, ok? and your hand should be upside down so that the heel of your hand is up and your hand is tight to your side, arm bent elbow slightly up. Your arm should be sort of crooked, ok? Now slowly move your arm outward , twisting your arm in a kind of torquing motion and your hand right(or left if you're left handed) side up in a twisting motion. In other words as you're moving your arm forward and you're turning your hand right side up.And the same time your doing that step forward with your whole body, throw your weight all in one motion. What your aiming for is under the persons chin and push up on it. Done with enough force you can break someone’s jaw very easily , you can even break someone’s neck. Do the exercise I explained, slowly at first and then work up faster gradually, and of course give a yell, in karate that's known as a kiai pronounced ‘’key eye’’).

As he starts his kick, move forward with two fingers to the eyes, grab his leg, and push back on his throat with your right forearm... as he goes back and down, land with your full weight on his chest and his throat.

Laugh as he gasps for breaths and then, kick him in his nuts. Pick up your phone and take his picture... post it, so we all can giggle.

Putting ourselves in the woman's position, would one come into the chin with the left or right?

He telegraphed what was coming, badly. I'd have (and you could) stepped (left foot) inside the kick, blocking (high or low, depending) with the left forearm. Using the heel of the right hand (not the palm) and aiming upward and through (rather than at) his chin (pretend you're trying to hit the back of his head from the front) snap a blast at the target.

Focus is the hard part; you don't want to miss. If you do miss or don't make enough contact, follow up immediately with right knee to gonads. If he goes down stomp on any body part readily accessible, then retreat. Call 911.
