Is There A Way To Unfreeze The Freeze Response?

What if someone has back/ neck/ hip/ shoulder damage?

Doesn't matter. Striking someone to the throat so they can't breathe, anyone can do when they know how to do it right without killing the person, OR, not hitting hard enough to serve the purpose. The body is full of pressure points for striking to stop someone long enough for you to escape.

There are always exceptions to the rule. There will always be men so large and muscular, it would take far more than pressure points to escape them... but the majority such techniques will work. Little tiny police women can drop 6ft 5 men without issue using similar techniques. Yes, they may get hit during it all, but they can drop men twice their size to cuff them / subdue them until others help / they could step backwards if they needed.

Thank you @anthony ! That is wonderful news! :) (I am actually extremely strong for my relative size & not afraid of punches, though of course I don't want to be.)

The more important aspect of this... is that women can do something to stop from being raped. Being struck in defending yourself is far better than being raped or killed by doing nothing, because your body goes into freeze. Hand to hand techniques really do work, and you can learn them effectively within 6 - 12 weeks of training a couple times per week. The longer you do it, the better you get at it... more proficient and skilled with the techniques.

This is so wonderful @anthony because I thought my back, neck etc would prevent being able. :) And prevention is best, if possible. I do remember something about using their momentum to your advantage.

Women need to empower themselves, and understand this is not unrealistic. Examples prove best:
