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.

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.

He wouldn’t have survived without her, yet Muslim men today treat women as if they’re inferior. Khadjiah you are our idol in so many ways. You showed us that we can be both independent and dependent on a man if we so choose to do so. But you were independent first and had your own life and the Prophet depended on you just as much. May Allah allow us to emulate your character, strength, business minded attitude and your kindness.
