How to Defend Against Hair Pulling in a Girl Fight

Our female fan base has been growing (hell yeah, ladies!), and a popular question asked by these viewers is "How can I defend myself when a girl is pulling my hair in a fight?" This is a dirty fighting technique that a lot of girls use to control their opponent. Guys with longer hair are also susceptible to the hair pulling.

This video is a quick tip on how to fight an opponent that is pulling your hair. To defend against hair pulling in a girl (or guy) street fight, shorten the distance between you and your opponent. Use short-range defenses like the Muay Thai clinch to counter their attack and break free from your opponent's grasp.

When a girl is pulling your hair, wrap your right leg around whichever leg your enemy has closest to you and get them on the ground and from there what I would do is put them in a choke hold and put pressure till they let go of your hair. And if you're having trouble getting them on the ground shift around till you get your arm close to there head so you can start throwing punches or elbow them in the back of the neck or head.

This might actually save me tonight. I have a women 34 years old, I'm 22 she's much bigger than me, and she's out in the same town as me. She's threatened to fight me and if she sees me I'm gonna defend me.

I am a guy but I have long hair so this is still helpful

I just watched a video on Insta with 2 girls street fighting and I quickly came to look up a video from you about hair pulling 😂😂

The best way i've found to get someone to release their grip on hair/clothing or anything like that is by working the thumb.
Imagine person A has grabbed person B's hair. Typically A will have done so by forming a fist around a clump of hair. What B has to do is push on the thumbnail, in a way as if they are trying to push the tip of the thumb so that it touches the base of the thumb. This hyperflexes the thumb, causing considerable pain, and typically the involuntary release of grip
I've never found anyone who can keep a clenched fist when pressure is applied this way

I've always had it set in my head that if a girl ever grabs me by the hair I would knee her so hard in the face that she doesn't even wanna continue fighting me xD. I have some boney knees too so that will probably hurt.

Yep this works it happened to me & I rushed the girl into a wall 😂

If anyone pull your hair, punch the side of their rib cages as hard as you can. That'll hurt more and do more damage then pulling hair.
I'm a boy with cornrows, and this girl once pulled my hair, so I didn't really want to hit a girl so I got close to her, picked her up and body slammed her on her back.

[missboss]

if another girl is pulling your hair best thing to do is put both hands on top of there hands full pressure to where you now have control with a quick underneath turn you will be able to snap there wrist

[Martial-Mat]

Totally disagree. They have more leverage when you are closer - their muscles work better at that range.

Also, you missed the obvious "Don't let them grab your hair in the first place"..

Personally, I'd grab their grabbing hand with both of mine to stop them hurting me, then either front kick or thigh kick.

The girl u fought she didn't hurt Me 😀 she pulled my hair I Hit her like a MAN btw I'm a girl duh 🙂

[teriyanamccray]

If you plan on fighting, braid your hair up, put a swimming cap on and put vegetable oil or baby oil on the cap 🤣 won’t be any grabbing then .

[munchiecookie]

I can't afford for my hair to get pulled out

[pianoimpact]

I watched another vid and apparently if someone grabs your hair at the root you can vice grip their hands to your head and if you are still standing try to spin as quick as possible while holding their hand to your head as hard as possible. It will either get them in a super awkward position where you now have the upper hand or it will just break their wrist

32 people didn't practice their takedowns after this video.
