TikTok video II: If you do not like martial arts, I have provided an Emergency safety tips video which I find simultaneously informative and amusing. The violins.
Since I will never own or use a condom, that one is out...
I think my comment might be TikTok heresy, but who cares?
So if it is a polar bear facing a person, the human being should just accept being dead soon? I see the video provided one self-defence, emergency tip.
Worse, I have learned through my own reading, training and online training from an MMA trainer, that using high kicks, can lead to terrible physical consequences, for example, if the kick is caught in a defence with a gable grip. Please see the video for an example of the use of the gable grip.

The video features my MMA trainer, Trav. Please excuse the swearing, if it offends. He is a very kind and nice, family man to deal with via email.
I use the guillotine grip and hold both standing and on the ground. I have used it on a training partner and had it used on me in practice mode, as in this will lead to unconsciousness, if not countered.
To use the guillotine grip, I grab my wrist mainly, as done by other trainers, but I could grab the finger tips as he suggests.
The video @4: 30 forward features a version of the gable grip. So, it can be fatal. I am in total agreement with the video that it should be used in a life and death situation only, and that would include against multiple attackers with weapons.
The video @ 8: 00 forward has Trav state (paraphrased) to freak out some housewives...funny.
That gable grip can be used against a high kick, by grasping the attacking leg and ankle in a gable grip, and simultaneously kicking out or sweeping the other leg of the attacker. The gripped/locked ankle can be aggressively pulled in the opposite direction that the attacker is falling. This is a likely fight ender and can lead to damage to the attacker's leg, knee and hips, not to mention the back of the head with the fall. In agreement with my trainer, the gable grip in particular, should only be used in a life and death situation. I would add, in particular versus multiple, armed opponents.
From a New Testament perspective, a person should be seeking to be at peace with all people (Romans 12: 8) and it is the duty of the state to maintain law and order (Romans 13, 1 Peter 2). Deadly force should only be used by the public within law and order, as in legal, self-defence.
