Jack Krohn asked:

For many years now I have been a strong advocate of school-age children learning some basic self-defense techniques. Some basic techniques are taught at an early age and reinforced periodically they will form a firm foundation for a self defense program that will last a lifetime.

The fact is knowing and practicing some street fighting techniques AKA ‘Jeet Kune Do’ will keep you out of 95 percent of all street confrontations. It also builds enormous self-confidence in your ability to defend yourself. This affects the way you walk and the way you carry yourself also known as body language which sends a message to would-be assailants that you are not to be messed with.

One of the theories of this style of defense is that you should do whatever you have to do to defend yourself regardless of technique. People who use it believe that the best defense is a strong offense. In most assault situations, the last thing an assailant expects is resistance from his victim.

It is a philosophy and a hybrid system of fighting founded by Bruce Lee over 40 years ago. It uses direct and straightforward movements based on a combination of fighting systems. Some people call it a “style without a style.” It is basically an openhanded system that works on the use of different tools for different particular situations from kicking, punching and grappling.

It is one of the most successful self-defense techniques ever developed because it is easy to use and easy to learn. It is a perfect learning tool for beginner men and women to either learn by themselves, with their friends in a group or as a family unit. What a great way to spend time with your family.

So get going and start learning some basic self defense techniques today.

Pattrick Jhonson asked:

Self defense is the preventive measure which is used by a person or individual if he/ she thinks that their is a danger to his/ her life from some one. Just imagine a film scene in which a girl is walking across a street. Suddenly a ugly looking man comes in her way. The girl without getting scared pinches the man in his eyes with the keys and then run away to a safe place. But this is totally a filmy situation in which you know in advance what will be going to happen. In real life Self defense is not so easy.

If a person gets scared by attack he makes the situation worse. One of the best way of self defense is to use your common sense and trust your abilities. For example understand your environment, avoid walking at nights and avoid shortcuts or walk in a group at night. The other measure of self defense is to use self defense techniques. One such technique is de- escalation technique which is a strategy to behave in a manner which balances the situation. For example if robbers comes in your way then give all of your costly stuffs and money to them. There are some other techniques also which can be used . But first of all we have to learn those techniques. Self defense manuals are the best guide for these techniques.

self defense manuals

The crime in our society is increasing day by day. People are getting more violent. There is law and law agencies to deal with crime and criminal. But they do their work when they are reported. The use of self defense manuals generally reduces the crime as you use their tips in emergency situations before a crime has been committed. But for that we need to learn some tactics. These tactics are provided by self defense manual. These manuals contains information about

How to deal with threatening situations?

How to avoid such situations?

What to do if you face such situation?

How to resolve a misunderstanding?

Beside this self defense manuals also provides information about self defense law. They provide us information about the situations in which the use of self defense products and techniques is not a crime and when the use of self defense techniques and products falls into the category of crime. Thus the self defense manuals are the best source for personal safety.

Why Disguised Self Defense Products Give You the Advantage

Jack Krohn asked:

The need for self defense has been around for a long time, and it is not getting any less important as the years go by. There are many different ways people choose to keep themselves safe. Some learn physical self defense techniques, while others rely on disguised self defense products or just normal self defense products.

The bad guys use surprise as a major tactical strategy to gain the upper hand. Using a disguised self defense weapons can turn the tables in your favor exactly what you want in an assault situation-a tactical advantage.

Some rely on taking preventative measures to keep themselves safe. These people use alarms and security devices, but one can never be sure this will protect against an attack. The safest route is to have some form of self defense prepared in case of an attack.

Popular self defense items include pepper sprays and stun guns. However, many people are afraid that an attacker will realize they possess a self defense product before they have a chance to use it. Companies make disguised self defense products to guard against this worry. Pepper spray can look like an ordinary pen or pager. That way, people can carry pepper spray in their pocket or purses, and an attacker would have no idea.

Some of the most popular are key chain personal alarms. These let off a high-pitched alarm that startles attackers and alerts people around a victim. There are many other disguised self defense products like lipstick pepper spray and a camera cell phone stun gun.

Recently, a company has come out with a cell phone stun gun. This stun gun looks like an ordinary cell phone, but it does not function as an ordinary cell phone. It is really one of many disguised self defense products.

The gun projects 800,000 volts of electric shock into an attacker. It comes with an anti-theft wrist strap for security reasons. If the wrist strap is removed, the gun will no longer stun. It also will emit a high-pitched alarm when the wrist strap is pulled. It also has an LED flash light. With so many self defense tools, the world can be a much safer place.

Martial Arts Self Defense Techniques - 2 Self Defense Techniques to Escape a Head Lock

Self Defense Street Fight No Responses »
Mar 132009
Pete Kauffer asked:

A head lock is one of the most intimidating and most excruciating ways to be attacked. The attacker can apply enough force to quickly render a victim unconscious or break the neck. One needs to be able to escape a head lock very quickly. In this article we will discuss two self defense techniques to escape from a head lock.

Martial arts practitioners learn to escape a variety of holds and grabs. Oftentimes the more force that is applied to a technique the higher degree of success. Speed of implementation of the technique is also required. The longer an attacker is able to be in control the more a victim can be injured. Once released the victim should counter attack or flee.

One martial arts self-defense technique involves just the fingers. If the headlock is applied with the attacker’s right arm, the victim can raise their left arm up the back of the attacker until the face is located. Place two fingers under the assailant’s nose and pull back forcefully. There is a pressure point directly under the nose that when pulled in this way can cause intense pain. An alternative is to drive the fingers into the aggressor’s eyes.

Most headlocks leave the defender on one side of the attacker. A second martial arts self defense technique is to step in front of the attacker and strike them in any of the vulnerable parts of the body. Punches should be aimed at the solar plexus, diaphragm or groin. Foot kicks and knee kicks should be aimed at the legs, shins or knees of the assailant. The victim can use the heel of their foot to stomp the top of the attacker’s foot.

Violence Awareness, Prevention, and Self Defense - Part 3

Heather Richards asked:

Overall, the most common reason that a woman would need to defend herself is in the case of violent sexual attack. According to George Mason University research, 1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced sexual assault or ****! One-third of all women in the world seem to be an extraordinary number. In some countries where women’s rights have not evolved, one-third of adolescent girls report “forced sexual initiation”. One report publicized in 2000 claimed that more than 60% of victims in 7 countries knew their attacker. Another study performed in 2001 found that 24.7% of women interviewed in 8 different countries reported being the victim of sexual violence by the person they were dating.

We rarely expect to be assaulted by our friend or lover, but this is the scenario all too often. There seems to be no way of predicting or preventing this situation, and so our only hope is to know how to defend ourselves. Since the possible situations vary greatly, from unacceptable sexual advances to extreme cases of aggressive and violent attack, there are also many different techniques to deter an attack or defend yourself physically.

Techniques range from simple eye-contact and straight-forward verbal response to training in martial arts techniques. In general, physical self defense techniques for women should be a little different from techniques taught in most martial arts classes. Instructors must consider that a woman will be smaller than, and not usually as strong as her attacker. Techniques must also revolve around possible scenarios, teaching you to make the most of your position and get the upper hand on your assailant. They must also keep it simple, nothing too technical. This is not because women can’t easily learn technical martial arts, but because anyone is not going to be calm enough to execute a technical move efficiently in such a high-stress situation.

W.O.W (Women Only Workout) claims that by physically defending herself against an attacker, 85% of women will escape the situation and 50% of the time all it may take to avoid an attack is to yell or scream. However, I wouldn’t rely on a 50/50 chance of survival, so it’s important to find a self defense technique that will work for you. With all of the options available, there is something for everyone, some classes even incorporate Yoga (see related article) to help train their students in self-discipline and enable them to have a clear head when attacked. Motivational seminars about confidence and empowerment can also be helpful. If you choose to train in a martial arts studio, it’s important to choose one that is not oriented toward competition (unless you have such goals), those that advertise self defense directly would be best. Sometimes your local police department may offer classes as well.

Since you are already online, it’s a good idea to start your research here. You may want to watch videos, read How-To articles, order a book or purchase an eBook; there is an abundance of information at your fingertips already. Please feel free to return and let others know about your experiences!
