Shin Scrape

A shin scrape involves scraping the front of the attacker's shin bone. Best done with the heel of your shoe. Kicking here would also inflict a great deal of pain.

When you are grabbed from behind and he has your arms secured a shin scrape and foot stomp will help you make your escape. Remember to execute this technique quickly and with as much force as you can muster.
