A former Royal Marine teaches women how they can defend themselves, throw a punch, pick a lock and break a zip-tie while wearing acrylics. His series of videos fulfil a niche that no self-defence classes cover.
Royal Marine Shows Women How To Defend Themselves While Wearing Acrylic Nails
It all started when TikTok user @ryleerichhart made a funny video where she joked about how acrylic nails are the best way to stop someone from doing anything. She said that if she ever wanted to hold someone hostage, she would give them acrylics.
Inspired by this post @dutchintheusa decided to take it as a challenge and debunk the story. While he did manage to be successful over the course of his series, he admitted that it was so much harder and more time consuming to get anything done.
After trying to make a fist he said, “In my last video, you saw me rolling up my fingers like this to make a fist…[it] hurts very, very much.”
He then proceeded to hit with an open palm and attacking that way. If not, then the side of the fist would suffice.
In a follow-up video he tries to pick a lock which goes as difficult as one may imagine.
Followed by one where he tries to get out of zip-ties.
Although he seems to be having fun with the entire ordeal, he also seems to be in a bit of pain whenever he gets further on with his experiments.
The acrylics always seem to be in the way, making it difficult to properly grip anything.
People however were loving it.
One went as far as to suggest heels but @dutchintheusa quickly shot that down seeing as he has had a hard enough time with the nails.
Perhaps a month from now?
