Elbow Strike, Knee Charge and Push Against Takedown - Self Defense Tips
When you learn self defense against any particular attack, you can do different things to defend yourself. As a beginner, you learn and practice specific moves to deal with the situation. When you go to the advanced level, you can do a lot of things and make your move the way you want.
A couple of days ago, I made a post about What To Do Against Takedown - Self Defense. If you read the post, you know I break down the whole thing into three situations and suggest to you what to do.
Today I am going to share some specific moves that you can use to deal with this situation. It falls into the situation 1. That is, the attacker moves forward, lower his head, and is about to grab your leg. The moment you see that you should make the distance between your legs and ground yourself properly.
If you do not ground yourself properly and make the distance between your legs, the attacker can easily grab your leg and take you down. As soon as you ground yourself properly, prevent the attacker from moving towards you. You can do that by placing your hands to the attacker's neck.

Now do not just stop there. You have to counter-attack immediately. You can do elbow strike and knee charge. Then you can push him and get rid of that. Master Wong showed it very well in this video. Hope it makes it clear.
You need to practice this with your training partner so that you can use this technique to protect yourself against takedown.
What if the attacker moves forward you with speed and force?
If the attacker is stronger and moves forward with speed and force, you might find it difficult to stop you. So when you make the distance between your legs and lower your body, you can stop someone even if he comes towards you with force.
When you place your hands on the attacker's neck, and you feel his force and speed, you can use his speed and power against him. So you can grab and pull him to the side and throw him away. Here you are not stopping him; you just use his force and speed against him.
