Purse-snatchers beware!

Awesome footage from the 1930s of a smartly-dressed, well-spoken woman showing how to beat seven shades of shit out of a would-be purse-snatcher.

Some of the joint locks she shows later in the video would be paralysingly painful - I think her assistant puts a brave face on it!

Seems relevant.

Although tbh I just want more people to watch that video, because goddamn it's that awesome.
