Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao join in, Chu Qingchan reluctantly stood up and walked over to Chu Fengyi, taking off her mask in the process.
"Finally, I can breathe freely. So, how are you going to teach us? If it's too hard, we won't be able to learn it."
"No, no, you've misunderstood. Women's self-defense techniques focus more on practicality; simplicity and effectiveness are key."
Qin Yunhe quickly got up, walked over to them, and spread out her hand towards the four of them.
"First, remember five key areas: the eyes, nose, throat, joints, and groin."
"These five parts are the most vulnerable, so we should focus on these areas. Pure strength alone won't help you against a male attacker."
"Of course, what I'm about to teach you won't fully protect you, as you're not professionals."
"But when there's no escape, these might help. Nonetheless, your physical condition is fundamental because the strength difference is significant."
"Now that you know these five parts, let's move on to four situations: front, back, side, and proactive escape."
"Can I just learn the last one?"
Chu Qingchan raised her arm halfway, expressionless but saying something that made her look somewhat adorably different.
"No, do you think escaping is just about running?" Chu Fengyi tilted her head and gave Chu Qingchan a glance.
"Yes."
"You're still saying yes, Chu Qingchan, you're too weak. But we can start with escape. Miss Qin, is that okay?"
"Are you two learning the same thing?"
Su Qingwan looked at her best friend and Miss Chu. Their understanding of self-defense seemed the same.
"No, mainly you should listen to Miss Qin. She's the professional, and I'll add any special points."
"Since Miss Chu wants to learn proactive escape first, I'll start with that."
Qin Yunhe looked at Chu Qingchan. It seemed the girls were quite interested in the idea of escaping.
"Proactive escape doesn't mean just running. Running also has its techniques, but the focus is on being proactive."
"It means, when the opponent has shown malicious intent, you actively attack them to create an opportunity to escape."
"Now I'll demonstrate some small proactive attack techniques."
Qin Yunhe and Chu Fengyi stood facing each other, and Qin Yunhe started the demonstration.
A few minutes later, the demonstration ended, and the four girls clapped together.
"That seemed quite simple, right?"
"Yes."
Ji Yun and Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, while the older Chu Qingchan and Su Qingwan seemed a bit unsure if they understood.
"Never mind if you don't remember clearly. We'll practice it later. Now, I'll teach you how to respond to front, side, and back attacks."
"First, if the opponent grabs you from the front, usually girls are shorter than boys, so your forehead might reach his face."
"Then you can use your head to hit his vulnerable face. Since he's grabbing you, his arms can't restrict other parts of your body."
"Once he's hit in the face, you then lift your leg with all your strength and use your knee to strike his groin!"
"When he's in pain and unable to chase you, quickly leave the scene, seek help, and call the police immediately."
"Won't this directly...?" Su Qingwan imagined it and wondered if this move could accidentally kill someone.
"If someone intends to harm you, any defensive attack you make counts as self-defense. Don't hesitate to use force, or the consequences could be worse."
"Alright." The girls nodded. Qin Yunhe was about to continue when Chu Fengyi interrupted her.
"If you encounter a particularly tall man and can't reach his head, you can proceed directly to the second step."
"Okay."
Everyone nodded. They looked at Chu Fengyi, who was only 145 cm tall, and decided it was best not to hurt her feelings by discussing what a particularly tall man meant in this context.
"Next, for an attack from behind, use a headbutt, but with the back of your head hitting his face!"
"This move follows the previous one. If you can't reach his face, just use this move."
As she spoke, Chu Qingchan glanced at Chu Fengyi, making Chu Fengyi angry again.
Chu Qingchan, everyone is so respectful about my height, it seems I need to use Dad's authority again.
"You bend down, find his lower leg between your legs, grab it, and pull it forward hard."
"Unless he's extremely heavy, he'll generally lose balance with one leg suddenly pulled and fall backward."
"At this point, you can either choose to run away or kick his groin with full force and then run away."
"For an attack from the side or from a distance, usually use your elbow!"
"Imagine spinning around, locate him with your peripheral vision, then swiftly turn back and strike with your elbow. If you're worried about not having enough force, just swing it out!"
Qin Yunhe demonstrated this move, instantly producing a sharp sound as it cut through the air.
"Hit his face or chin to create distance. If you can't reach, elbow his abdomen or chest, then quickly escape while he's reeling from the attack."
"Sister Qin, it seems like all these techniques end with running away. Does that mean running is the most important thing?" Ji Yun concluded after hearing the simple self-defense moves, thinking that running was key no matter what.
"Yes, for most girls, escaping is the best option. Everything is about preparing to run away."
"Staying calm, quickly finding a clear path or a safe place with people is the ultimate goal."
"Don't think about confronting directly. Even I would be in a passive situation if suddenly ambushed by someone with a weapon."
Qin Yunhe's words made sense, and the four girls all nodded. Running fast is indeed the right way.
"So, fitness is really important. Everyone should work out well. I work out at the gym on Xinghuo Road. You can come and find me there."
"You're making it sound like an advertisement." Su Qingwan teased her friend, and everyone laughed.
"If you come to me, I'll definitely teach you for free. Now, let's practice. Practical training is the most important."
"Okay, Sister Qin, I'll pair up with you." Su Qingwan waved at Qin Yunhe.
Chu Fengyi glanced at Chu Qingchan, but Chu Qingchan had already grabbed Ji Yun's hand, making her even more annoyed.
Stupid sister...
Then she looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, who took a step back, scared by Chu Fengyi's angry look.
"Sister Bai, I'll teach you."
"Okay..."
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded reluctantly, recalling the two previous incidents. At first, everyone seriously practiced the moves, and Chu Fengyi and Qin Yunhe corrected everyone's actions.
But a few minutes later, things got chaotic, and they started goofing around.
"Ah! Qin Yunhe, stop messing with my armpits, it's so ticklish!"
"Hehe."
"Stop it!"
Qin Yunhe pounced and knocked Su Qingwan to the ground, and they started wrestling playfully.
Chu Fengyi, meanwhile, started doing ballet moves with Bai Xiaoxiao.
"You're quite talented," Chu Fengyi admired Bai Xiaoxiao's steps, feeling a bit envious. With her height, everything looked good.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, blushing, but she started to see Chu Fengyi differently.
This girl was actually very gentle.
Chu Qingchan and Ji Yun, on the other hand, began a cute wrestling match, rolling together on the mat and pulling each other to prevent the other from standing up.
At this moment, Xu Lin, after asking around, arrived outside the activity hall and followed the noise inside.
Carrying Xiao Shaoyao, he entered and saw six girls wrestling wildly on the mat.
He was dumbfounded.
What happened while I was gone? How did you all start letting loose so much?!
