Today I will show you some self defense tips that apply to increasing your personal safety. These tips work for men and women, seniors, children, basically everyone! I always recommend training in a martial arts
school, but I also recommend these tips:
Self defense tips #1 - If you can run away from a situation by all means do it. If you can cordinate an escape route if someone starts trying to have problems with you, just run away and call the police when you get space from your attacker. If you have a girlfriend or wife and kids with you follow this idea below..
Self defense tips #2 - Increase your range of awareness. Be aware of the people, places, environments and overall 'feel' of where you are. Did you know you can see behind your back tilting your head forward and a little to the right or left and you can see behind you. Also using reflections of mirrors, windows, and other things can aid to your vision.
Self defense tips #3 - Home invasions are becoming more frequent these days. So have weapons planetd around your house or area where you live. Personally I have a steel baton in my home, and I carry pepper spray on me at all times. Being well prepared in your home, and especially your vehicle can insure you survive an attack.
Self defense tips #4 - Staying in physical shape by doing exercises at the gym, or walking, bike riding, doing anything will help you in the event of an attack. You want to be physically active and able to fight off someone bigger then you. If you are a couch potato you will be in trouble if you get attacked or victimized by a criminal.
Self defense tips #5 - Absorb as much self defense information and training as you can. Also share it with family members, friends and children. You never know when a simple tip on fighting might make the life or death decision in an assault in the future.
