Defense against a One Arm Lapel Grab (Hockey Fight)

In this self-defense video, we show you how to defend yourself against one of the most common attacks in the street; the one arm lapel grab. It is indeed one of the most common assaults in the street. Most people fight this way; they grab your shirt with one hand and start punching you with the other hand at the same time. It has been proven to be an effective method of fighting.

Because this way of fighting is frequently used by street thugs, you need to understand it and know how to defend from it.

A great way to train for the "Hockey Fight" or "One Arm Lapel Grab" is to practice through a self-defense drill. For the first part of the drill, your partner needs to come at you with a one arm lapel grab and you need to practice on trapping the punches. Remember to keep your hands up at all times to protect your centerline.

In the second part of the drill, you will be allowed to trap the hand and strike back. You need to block that incoming punch and strike back immediately. Hit your attacker with solid palm strikes to the face.

As we explained in the clip, defending yourself against such an attack will be easier for you if your opponent is shorter than you. Height does play a role in this particular situation because the reach that you will have is going to depend on your opponent's range. The taller he is, the harder it will be for you to counter strike...but it's still doable even if your attacker is much taller than you.

We hope you enjoyed the video. If so, share it with your friends and family:
