Learn to defend against a bigot grabbing your hijab from behind!

In this post-election hate-crime spike, self defense is more important than ever. Practice this move until it becomes muscle memory and teach your body to react before thinking.

(via Zee Abdulla)

Signal boost. Anyone know if this would work equally as well if he grabbed with his other hand? I feel it wouldn’t, but it’s still better than nothing.

If the attacker used the other hand, then the woman wearing the hijab could use the opposite arm than is shown. SO PRACTICE BOTH SIDES.

Also please note the position of her arm on his. It’s not on the elbow but just above it. That is will be important for the submission. The grip on her hand is important as well. It looks like she is using a monkey grip where the thumb stays with the fingers of the hand instead of wrapping around. It protects your thumb from being broken and can be a stronger grip in general.

But yes, practice practice practice practice

Btw, if you click on her name, Zee Abdulla, in the post it takes you to her Facebook where she has another video for a defense for a front hijab grab.

I know everyone has already seen this clip (RDJ being a diva™️ will forever be my favorite thing) but please imagine this as an Avengers Press Conference and it’s all stuffy and boring and Cap hates these thing but then of course Tony opens his mouth and instantly the entire room is laughing and Steve is fucking wheezing for like two minutes after the joke was even told and even Tony is trying to move on but Steve is just doubled over laughing and Steve is just very in love with Tony.

This father consoling his baby son at the doctor’s office is SO CUTE 😍😍😍

Awwwww😂😂😂

This father is doing SO much more than consoling his infant son …

• this father is showing up as a pillar of safety; he’s told his son he acknowledges and believes in the boy’s strength.

• the father is completely present and accepting of his son’s story and helps him tell it. When the son recognizes that his father was fully present and heard the story of his experience of pain, the boy calms completely.

This piece of video will now be at the very top of my teaching tools when training parents and caretakers to work with shock and trauma in infants. It’s one of the finest examples of exemplary parenting I have ever seen in my 35-year healing career. ❤️

“I wonder how this baby sounds”

“Ah. Like a mix between an electronic device on the fritz and what I imagine a baby raptor sounds like. Got it!”

I see, so it speaks fluent power drill.

The alarm seems to be going on your small furry device.

even after reading the comments I was not prepared

Fun fact: am currently sitting in a car shop while the nice mechanics change my tires. Sound of baby caracal indistinguishable from sound of power tools. Actually had to double check the video sound was on.
