Self Defense
Awareness Tips
Overview:
Self defense training is essential for everyone and
particularly for a woman’s, personal safety. Self defense training
is not martial arts training. The practice of martial arts is a
lifelong training regime of ancient philosophies, physical training,
and learning self defense techniques. Self defense training for
women is a brief course that includes a variety of martial art
techniques to defend against an aggressor.
Self defense training, especially young women (girls) that are of
high school and college age, is essential for personal safety.
Self defense classes or a self defense training course can
provide training in many different techniques but self defense is
more than just learning how to respond to an aggressor. Personal
self defense also includes awareness of everything everywhere you go
and no matter what you do. Listed below are some suggestions and
self defense awareness tips that should become part of your everyday
life routine.
Self Defense Tips:
It doesn’t
matter where you go, there are risks for men and women in nearly
every situation. At home, the grocery store parking lot, college
campus, and even at work. It is important to know how to spot and
avoid potentially dangerous scenarios.
The following tip will help you keep out of harmful
situations:
-
Install good outdoor lighting at home.
-
Trim
shrubs and bushes to prevent them from growing over windows.
-
Do
not hide a key outside your home such as under the doormat or flower
pot on the stoop.
-
Don’t
answer the door until you know who is on the other side of it. Be
aware that house breakers will often say anything to get you to open
the door.
-
Ask
for identification of “official visitors” such as policemen.
-
Before getting in your car inspect the inside and outside,
especially
the rear seat.
-
Keep
sufficient gas in your gas tank to avoid running out.
-
Keep
car windows up and doors locked when you are in and out of the car.
-
Avoid
walking in unlighted areas alone.
-
Keep
your eyes peeled for any suspicious activity.
-
Walk
with an awareness of the area around you. Scan the area ahead and
behind you.
-
Keep
your jewelry and other valuables are out of sight.
Other Self
Defense Techniques and Awareness:
If you follow
these self defense awareness tips you will go far in providing for
your own self defense. In addition to these tips I suggest that you
take a self defense course that is at least eight weeks in duration
so you will not only learn self defense techniques but also be able
to practice them. Remember, self defense is all about awareness,
overcoming fear, and implementing trained skills and techniques when
confronted with a hostile person.
