HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF

YOU SHOULDN’T FEEL you have to learn how to defend yourself from an attacker, but many women feel safer with some self-defence know-how. ‘When things get physical, I teach four main moves,’ says runner and Krav Maga instructor Julie Barron Morrill. ‘How to punch, kick, use your knees and use your elbows.’ With her expert advice on how to supercharge those moves, you can cause enough pain or confusion in your attacker to get away. Increase your power by using hard, bony parts of your body against the soft and fleshy parts of

your attacker’s body. Aim for the stomach, groin, nose, throat and inner thigh.
