You want to allow them to move your head, slightly, but not your hair.

Step forward, towards the pull, to use the attacker’s energy against them.

Do not try to peel all of their fingers off at once. The pinky is small and weak – no match for the strength of your whole arm.

If he/she doesn’t let go, keep bending until the finger breaks. Keep your elbow up in front of your face to protect yourself from his free arm, which can still hit you.

Rolling your body along the attacker’s arm also puts him in front of you, allowing you to get away once you get his hand free.

Hit with you knuckles for the hardest, most successful strike. Press against the inside of your bicep, moving up until your find a sensitive spot that causes your arm to curl slightly when pressed. This is your target.
