Self Defense! Should You Bother?
Discussed here are some of the reasons why learning about self defense tips can become a real life saver. In the current state of escalation in global criminal activity, makes us all,
vulnerable to needless crimes and senseless attacks. You can never, therefore, tell when you might need to use a defensive strategy, either, to protect or get yourself out of a
potentially dangerous situation. We are only too aware of the ever, increasing media stories of people becoming victims of street attacks and robberies; with a lot of these crimes often happening in the victims' own homes. The need to familiarize one-self with self defense strategies and techniques has never been more crucial than it is now.
Very often the mention of personal defense techniques, immediately, conjures visions of martial arts in the minds of most people. It is necessary to note, however, that knowing Ju-Jitsu, is not by itself, the be it and end all in a fight against, for example, a robbery attack. For the innocent individual with a clear conscience not expecting to be attacked at any time, the moment of a surprise attack inflicts a severe shock that strips him or her of any sense of clarity in the way to defend him or herself. A time like this is when having awareness of some self defense tips might come handy in helping to assuage the infliction of potentially serious bodily harm.
So what ordinary tips can be used to avoid such un-invited nuisance? To start with, we, all, have a propensity to employ our heads to think our way out of trouble. We are also equipped to use our minds to bludgeon our way out of trouble. This is based on the veritable fact, that the human skull, used appropriately can be an extremely strong weapon indeed. And, the forehead can be used to impact a severe blow to an aggressor's nose in a fashion much more efficacious than a punch to the nose. For example, grabbing an adept defender from behind, does allow the attacked the chance to inflict serious damage to the assailant by use of the back of his or her head.
Furthermore, carrying something that readily converts to a weapon of a kind, in the opportune time is particularly crucial in the fight to ensure safety. In most jurisdictions of civil law, it is often illegal to carry weapons such as guns or brandish a conspicuous mean looking knife. It is, therefore, more appropriate to forget about such weapons, in preference for weapons as straightforward as an umbrella or a mere pen (several tactical pens function as writing tools as well as effective self defense weapons, in the right hands). Most objects with a sharp
or hard point, such as cans of vegetables, can be used to attack bone structures of the body, like elbows, kneecaps, hips and skull. Also, possession of soft pointed devices like a pen or knife, provides the attacked a chance to target soft tissues such as the belly, eyes, armpits or the throat.
A highly crucial caveat of self defense is avoidance in getting hit at any time, which is imparted by a simple, martial arts rule that teaches that one should move along a triangle,
at all times, in combat. In an attempt to elucidate this teaching, it will help to depict the body as divided up into two equal parts, in ; and in the region of the imaginary central dividing line are located the face, throat and heart which constitute the targets the assailant aims at. Therefore, moving in the triangular fashion, as taught by the martial arts rule, makes difficult for the goon to aim and strike at his or her target. Most assailants often contrive in their minds, the way and area of the body they want to attack. Then convey to their brain the distance, location and part of the victim's body that they intend to strike, which is why, adherence to the triangle rule, by moving backwards, to the left, and the right, continually changes both the distance and location between the assailed and the assailant, and lessen the effectiveness of a potential assault.
A further personal defense strategy, rooted in martial arts, is the prompting to, always, aim to surprise the aggressor by ‘standing your ground' and not ‘backing off, as that, signifies defeat and that are what the attacker would have you do. So, always, have the courage to exercise tenacity and fight back, and the foe would have to give in. Also, a very effective, self defense strategy, in deterring the assailant, is a repetitive vocal scream like, 'Fire! Fire! Fire! Believed to be more effective, than crying out 'rape' or 'help'.
The self defense tips and strategies discussed here are all based on sound personal protection ideas, whichoriginate from out of nowhere; on the spur of the moment in an attack. It is, therefore, imperative to learn and retain them in the consciousness, as basic self
protection strategies for use in similar instances. We will be covering more self defense tips, in similar articles; in the weeks ahead. In many of the articles, we will look closely at the role and effectiveness of self defense weapon types, and it would no doubt be extremely beneficial for the novice and enthusiast to visit more frequently.
