Home Articles Reviews Videos App Store Book Shop Forum How to Beat a Mugger  By Adam Sinicki Walking the streets at night these days can be a dangerous pass-time, but unfortunately it's something that we do sometimes have to do. Fortunately, if you come to the Biomatrix regularly, then you will be a bodybuilder who knows parkour, several lethal take down moves and who's brain works at double speed. When Bioneers are out walking the streets is unsafe for the mugger. Of course I should impart all the usual advice here – stick to the well-lit areas, gravitate towards the large groups of people, take a taxi where possible... blah, blah, blah. That's not what you want to know though is it? What you want to know is how to take them down, outsmart them, or generally beat them if necessary. Here we will look at some techniques you can use. Kick and Run: The first and possibly best technique of all is to kick them and run. This way you damage their knee caps and leave them limping while you meanwhile can run away to safety. The target areas are of course the kneecap or the groin. As long as you kick them hard enough to slow them down, you'll be able to get away. It's the safest and quickest way to beat a mugger. Shout 'Blitzkrieg!!!' while you do it. Climb: If you're genuinely good at parkour then you can actually climb away to beat a mugger – just launch yourself onto the nearest bus shelter or in through someone's open flat window. It's running away but it's running away in a very cool way. Normally they won't be able to follow you – but if they do try you can just kick them down from where you are. Use a Decoy: Apparently when muggers tried to rob David Coperfield he used his sleight of hand techniques to make them believe his pockets were empty. In reality he was carrying a wallet, a phone and a passport. Legend. Now I don't expect you to be able to do that. But what you can do is to carry a bag (and recommend this technique to girlfriends too) and put in it a fake decoy wallet. Fill this with maybe one fiver and a few old debit cards and loyalty cards. Leave this loose in the bag and keep your actual wallet hidden in a zip up compartment inside the bag. Now if someone stops you, you can hand over your old wallet with the old stuff in it and walk away happily. You can do this with a phone too if you're particularly paranoid by keeping an old Nokia or something loose in the bag. Use a Weapon: If you know you are going to be walking somewhere late at night, or if you think you're being followed – then getting a weapon is a great idea. Of course you can't walk around with a gun or a knife or you could get into legal difficulties (and people will think you're a psychopath) – and if you noticed you're being followed then you can't exactly materialise a gun out of thin air (that would be cool though). What you can do though is to quickly make one – just tuck into a newsagents and buy a tin of baked beans and ask for a carrier bag. Now if you're attacked – swing the bag and hit the can straight into the attacker's face. It's brilliant isn't it? You can carry this anywhere without getting into trouble too, or failing that you can put a heavy old phone into a carrier bag. You can even put this makeshift weapon into your pocket and take it into clubs etc (I'm not condoning starting fights in clubs but sometimes you need to be able to defend yourself in there!). Evil right? Carry this always and muggers/attackers are going down. If you're in the woods then stop and pick up a big rock or stick and if you're really strong then pull a drain cover off the floor and hit them with that. Surprise mofo! Some More Advice on How to Beat a Mugger At the same time you can always try using any of the take down techniques I've outlined in my videos and articles before. Grabbing the head and twisting it harshly to the left or right always makes someone go down. But the most important thing is to train yourself mentally for this occurrence. While you genuinely should run away probably, if you do get into a fight yourself then you need to think like they do. Don't play fair. Don't be squeamish. Don't pull your punches. Think consciously about making every move as forceful and as powerful as you can and make it all count. Also don't worry about being 'manly' – if you need to pull hair then do it. They attacked you, they have the element of surprise and they probably have weapons so all bets are off and anything is 'fair'. When I Nearly Got Mugged... I was once nearly mugged and this all came in very useful for me. I was only about 15 and I had just started bodybuilding and martial arts but not majorly. I was with a friend and two guys came up to us and asked for change. I said I didn't have any so the bigger one said 'show me your wallet'. To which I answered no obviously, before being told that this was some guy you didn't mess with apparently. The guy then got me in a headlock but I managed to take out his legs landing us both on a car bonnet and setting off the alarm. That must have been quite cool. From there I managed to pull the guy's arm off because despite being younger, I was stronger. Go me. Unfortunately he just grabbed me again and I realised I wasn't willing to punch him in the face so I needed to take some other form of decisive action. The best thing I decided here was to take his little finger and bend it backwards. The first time nothing happened and that's because I bent it back like anyone bends a little finger back – carefully and squeamishly. Luckily I remembered something I'd read online previously which was that you had to make these things forceful and make them hurt so I tried again – this time clamping the finger with full force, and then literally wrenching it back and then down. It crumpled and crushed like paper and the guy let go immediately before leaving. I was chuffed with myself for fighting like a girl but those are the two very important lessons to learn – if you are going to fight then fight dirty and make every single movement, even the small ones, as forceful as possible. The irony is I probably had about £1.50 in that wallet anyway...  The-Biomatrix.Net Copyright 2013 NQR Productions TM and Adam Sinicki
