Here's a great example of what we refer to as blinding or blending. It involves impairing the attacker's vision by the use of hands/fingers, spit, coins, sand, spray, liquids, flames or similar.
This has been used over and over again to get a potential victim out of a tight spot. It can be used to get free from a hold, to set up another technique like takedown, punch or kick, or to make sure you can escape safely.
Story:
A 50-year-old woman fended off an attack by a 43-year-old convicted sex offender on a Santa Cruz beach by throwing sand in his eyes on Tuesday, Santa Cruz police said today.
The woman told police the man had chatted with her briefly before he allegedly pushed her down on the ground and forced himself on top of her.
The woman, who was alone on the beach, said she warded him off by screaming and throwing sand in his face, police reported.
