Self-Defense Techniques
1. Attacker: Right hand grabs partner's left wrist
    Defense: While stepping in with left foot, bring left hand up quickly to break opponent's
    grip and, with palm up, grab wrist immediately with left hand. Execute a right palm strike to
    opponents face. Using your right hand thumb, apply pressure to the pressure point between
    the elbow and the lower tip of the triceps muscle inside the arm. While you still have the pressure
    point hold, step under the opponents arm through turning counter clockwise to swing your opponents 
    arm clockwise until you have his arm behind him. By applying pressure to the elbow with the right
    hand and counter pressure to the wrist lock with the left hand, you can control your opponent
    (Opponent should tap out).

2. Attacker: (Cross hand grab) Right hand grabs opponents right wrist
    Defense: Bring your right hand up quickly to break opponents grips. Right away use your left hand
    (thumb) to apply pressure to your opponents right hand. While you still have the pressure point hold, 
    swing your opponents arm counterclockwise allowing the arm to bend. Now use your right forearm to 
    apply additional pressure to the back of the opponents hand creating a wrist lock. As you step in with
     the right foot, continue rotation of wrist and take him down. Punch to the body and kihap. 

3. Attacker: Facing opponent, right hand grabs lapel of opponents uniform
    Defense: Grab your opponents wrist portraying an inner double thumb wrist lock and quickly rotate
    your opponents arm clockwise, but keep the arm straight. Step with your left foot as you continue 
    the wrist rotation so that you now have your back to the opponent. With opponents right arm now
    secure under your left, apply a wrist and elbow lock using your left arm as counter pressure to control 
    your opponent (Partner should tap out)

4. Attacker: Standing behind your opponent, right hand grabs opponents right shoulder.
    Defense: Left foot steps back in line with attackers right foot. Circle left arm counter clockwise
    over attackers elbow to execute an arm press hold. While stepping back with right foot, place
    right hand on attackers right elbow bending him over 90 degrees. Using either left or right knee,
    strike upward to attackers torso or face.
