Women Self-Defense is Needed More Today than Ever Before

Article by David King







Crime is on the rise and the crimes are against women are rising at an alarming rate. Women are being assaulted both in rural and urban areas so much women’s self defense is becoming an interest to both law enforcement officials and women’s advocate groups. Women need to know how to defend themselves and how to protect themselves from diverse situations that could cause harm or even death. If a woman chooses not to defend herself, her possessions, sexual virtues, and even life could be at stake. The statistics show if a man is walking down the street alone and a woman is walking down the same street, the woman has an 80% more chance of being attacked, robbed, or raped than a man. The question is why?

Women have been traditionally known as the weaker sex. Most assaulters are men and they see women as an easy target. Why choose a man to rob when he is likely not only to defend himself, but would also slow down the assault and get away. Women are the logical choice for the criminal activity because most women would succumb to the assaulter’s wishes because of smaller stature and less strength. Women were protected in the past by society’s rules and a sense of chivalry. Not that chivalry is dead everywhere, a woman has more chance to be assaulted in today’s society then they would have twenty years ago.

Women’s self-defense is more important today because women have been devalued at the street level in today’s society. Most rap videos portray women in a way that they are controlled by men or thugs and are present for sexual pleasure and little else. With this attitude prevailing in the youth of America, a women’s self-defense is important to prove that a woman can take care of herself and not become of a young man’s desire for sexual violence. Night clubs and discos have become a hunting ground for men of low character who are looking for easy sex without the benefit of honor or self-restraint. A women who has taken women’s self-defense classes can stop an attack by an unwanted Romeo or at least hold back the attack until she gets help.

Today’s society is a dangerous place for a lady. Every time she walks across an abandoned parking lot at the local supermarket or walks into the parking garage at night to get in her car, she is endanger of being attacked for reasons of sex or money. Women need women’s self-defense classes to give her the confidence that she can defend herself and can rely independently upon herself. Thirty years ago it was not that important to take women’s self-defense courses. Your father, brother, husband, or boy friend would protect you from the evils of society. Today a woman does not have that luxury because of lifestyle changes and the changes within our society.

Taking a women’s self-defense course is the best advice that you can take to save your processions, your womanhood, and you or your children’s life.

Defend Yourself – Using Everyday Items As Self-Defense Weapons

Defend Yourself – Using Everyday Items As Self-Defense Weapons

Article by Jeffrey Miller







Do you want to be able to defend yourself against a real world, brutal attacker who’s coming at you with all he’s got? Do you recognize that, unlike a sport karate contest, your assailant will probably be bigger, stronger, and maybe even better armed than you?

In this article, I want to look at some of the everyday items you might have on-hand, or find just laying around, that you can use in your own self defense. If you’re serious about learning the critical lessons that will save your life and limb where it matters most – on the street – then you must be able to see anything and everything as a potential weapon and aid.

Here is a list of 5 common items that you can press into use as self defense weapons in an attack situation.

1) Pen – One of the best “hidden” weapons to carry – especially in today’s world of “false-security” – is a sturdy, ball-point pen. Techniques using a pen include stabbing, poking, snagging, pinching, and even crushing pressure across the smaller bones and joints of your assailants fingers. It’s important to train with cheaper, plastic pens as well. This will teach you how to adapt your grip and still apply many of the same techniques listed above.

2) Keys – You know, if I had a buck for every time someone told me about the “best way to hold keys” that some karate guy showed them, I could have bought that Lamborgini that I really want! Let me just say that, it’s hard enough to get your keys in the right place between your fingers as these so-called self defense masters claim – and that’s when you’re calm and safe. Trying to do the same thing when some nutball is coming at you or wrestling you to the ground is…well…stupid!

The best way to hold your keys is the same way you normally do when you’re going to start your car or open your front door. This is both strong and “natural.” In this position, you can gouge, stab, and slash at your attacker’s eyes, face, and exposed skin.

3) Belt – Many potential weapons that you can use to defend yourself are often so obvious that they are virtually invisible. Unless you train yourself to look at things differently, AND you program yourself to look for them, you won’t be able to use them, even when they’re “on you!”

This is true of the above items, and it’s also true of belts, neckties, and even luggage and purse straps. These flexible weapons are made even more effective when they have a weight – like a beavy buckel – on the end. Parrying, snaring, whipping, and other such techniques allow you to turn the tables on an unsuspecting attacker who chose the wrong victim – YOU – as his target!

4) Credit card – Small, thin items like credit and debit cards, drink coasters, and the like can be pressed into use as cutting, slashing weapons. They can also, with sufficient training and practice, be thrown at your assailant’s face as distracting weapons – just like the Ninja’s shuriken, ‘throwing star.’

5) Mechanics drop light – It’s important if you to master the ability to defend yourself, that you see everything and anything as a potential aid in your defense. And, while you might not be a mechanic, and therefor not have access to this specific item, there are other, similar, everyday items that you do.

Remember, one of the skills that separate a true master or self defense expert, from everybody else, is his or her ability to recognize weapons and aids that create a distinct advantage over the attacker. But, more than the ability to recognize these items, you must take the time to learn how to use them effectively, and against the right targets.

Effective self defense requires more than just a few “karate moves.” It involves the ability to think strategically, and understand how to defend yourself with as little wear-and-tear on you as possible.For more information on what you MUST know to survive a real street attack, read my newest self defense book: “Fight Smarter – Not Harder!” It’s available free at: http://www.warrior-concepts-online.com/street-fighting-self-defense-book.html

4 Women Self Defense Tools

4 Women Self Defense Tools

Article by Luke Blaise







Being a woman, sometimes you can feel vulnerable in certain situations like jogging alone, or being in an empty parking lot. While basic common sense is your best self defense tool, there are other items you can use that can help you tremendously. Here are four items that you should think about carrying with you at all times.

Whistle

A whistle might not seem like a very high tech piece of self defense equipment, but they are cheap, easy to carry, and easy to use. Just make sure the one you get is loud enough to be heard from a long ways away. Some newer whistles can actually be heard from up to one mile away.

Personal Alarm

Electronic personal alarms are often loud enough to be heard for well over one mile away, and can be loud enough to actually harm your attacker, but the sound also affect you as well.

Pepper Spray

Pepper spray seems to be the standard for women self defense, but make sure the one you have is not expired, otherwise it could lose its effectiveness. Also, make sure you know how to disable the safety feature before you need to use it, because sometimes these can be tricky to figure out.

Stun Gun

Compact stun guns are often small enough these days to look like a tube of lipstick, but can still pack a lot of voltage. Often times an attacker will give up early when you start to discharge it and they can see the spark starting to form between the prongs.

By carrying just one of these tools with you it can tremendously increase your chances for safety and can even give you that extra boost of confidence that you need. Don’t wait until something happens before you take steps to defend yourself. Act today and get one of these tools to carry with you, or at the very least figure out ways to decrease your chances of getting attacked.

Self Defense Weapons – Here is a Self Defense Spray That’s Better Than Pepper Spray!

Self Defense Weapons – Here is a Self Defense Spray That’s Better Than Pepper Spray!

Article by Jeffrey Miller







Are you looking for legal, yet highly effective weapons for self defense? Well, given the state of affairs today – you should be!

But, in today’s world, with more and more laws being passed to restrict your ability to protect yourself, you must look to non-traditional items as effective self defense weapons. And, that’s what this article is all about.

After reading this article, you’ll have another tool in your arsenal to use against the unsuspecting attacker who makes the mistake of choosing you as a target!

So, let me ask you… when you think of self defense weapons, what comes to mind?

Perhaps you have things on your list like:

Guns Knives Pepper Spray Cane, and maybe even other weapons like the Kubotan keychain weapon

The problem with many of these weapons is that any one or more of them might be illegal where you live. And, even if they are legal where you live, you may find that, if you travel, you may not be able to bring your favorite weapon with you.

So, the trick in today’s world is to be able to find common, everyday items in your environment that are both at-hand AND legal!

One of the common items that I suggest is very much like the pepper-based, self defense sprays that are available. But, where pepper spray has a limit on distance – often requiring that you wait until the attacker is close-enough to touch you – you will be able to hit an attacker with a much stronger spray…

…at OVER 30 feet away!

Any idea what I’m suggesting?

It’s wasp spray!

The benefits of this powerful deterrent include:

It’s legalThe can carries MUCH more fluid than a pepper spray canister The cap is larger and formed to your trigger-finger for your safety Greater range to stop an attacker Did I mention that it’s legal?!

I know it might sound funny to carry a can of wasp spray in your purse, but it’s very easy to keep one in your car (except on really hot days), or next to your door in case of a home invasion.

As you can see, self defense requires that you can think outside the box. In today’s world, you must worry about the attacker AND the legal system that’s supposed to protect you!

Effective self defense requires more than just a few “karate moves.” It involves the ability to think strategically, and understand how to defend yourself with as little wear-and-tear on you as possible.For more information on what you MUST know to survive a real street attack, read my newest self defense book: “Fight Smarter – Not Harder!” It’s available free at: http://www.warrior-concepts-online.com/street-fighting-self-defense-book.html

3 Powerful Women Self Defense Tools

3 Powerful Women Self Defense Tools

Article by Lisa Cresswell







If you want to learn about women self defense techniques, it has now never been easier then ever. This is because you can attend a class, buy a book, and even buy videos about this subject.

While some women do not take the time to learn a few basic moves, either because of fear or ability, you should not. Many people think attacks won’t happen to them, but this can be a fatal mistake. Here are three really fundamental techniques to be aware of.

1. All women self defense techniques are useless unless you have good judgment. Good judgment takes many different forms, like never choosing to walk to your car alone at night in a dark parking lot.

One example is to never choose to walk alone at dusk or dawn in park or where there are very few people around, and where there are lots of places where predators could hide.

2. The second best thing you can do is to always be prepared and aware of your surroundings. While you don’t have to be paranoid about it, you should at least be aware of the surroundings. One situation is walking to your car at night and having your keys in your hand.

By having your keys in your hand you can quickly access your vehicle if you need to avoid someone or something. Also, the keys in your hand make a great self defense weapon that can stop almost any attacker if used with force.

3. A women’s voice is the most powerful tool you have when it comes to defending yourself. If someone approaches you, you can scream at them, scream for help, or just to try and scare them away.

Use these three basic and simple principles to make women self defense techniques that much more powerful. And lastly, if a situation doesn’t feel right to you, get out of it and go somewhere safe.

5 Steps to Womens Self Defense

5 Steps to Womens Self Defense

Article by Roy Allen







A woman is raped every 46 seconds in the United States. That means that you need to consider womens self defense skills to keep yourself safe.

To combat rape and increase your fighting chances, arm yourself with these essential strategies:

1. Recognize when you are being “tested” or “interviewed” and break away immediately. Predators often test a woman’s boundaries to gain proximity and size up her defenses. They test you to see how close they can get and then how much closer. Do not enable this progression. Take control and put an end to this as quickly as you can. In some cases, that may mean yelling and running away from an attacker. In other cases, it may mean establishing reasonable behavior from a coworker or another man you already know.

2. Good womens self defense dictates that you take the first opening you get when faced with an attacker. You may not get a second chance. Rape can abruptly escalate to a more violent, life-threatening attack. The instant your attacker fumbles with clothing, changes positions or shifts his weight, puts down a weapon, places his hands on your torso, or prepares to strike or use a weapon attack. Some rapists initially establish dominance or force women into harrowing positions. Instead of ineffectually struggling against brute strength, relaxing the body can help create explosive opportunity. Going limp often makes it easier to spring.

3. Attack vulnerable regions. To commit a rape, an offender’s face or groin will likely be in your strike zone at some point. Viciously attack whatever he sticks out. Womens self defense means you can use dirty tactics: bite, gouge, seize-and-squeeze, slam, pound and pummel. Use your hips and legs to get your attacker off of you. A woman’s legs are her strongest natural weapons but you may have to free them first. If an attacker is lying on or straddling your hips, plant a foot and heave or buck him off, or trap his lower leg and roll (to aid such displacement, simultaneously attack the face). Remember: your goal is to facilitate escape, not force him into submission.

4. Never allow yourself to be tied up or taken to a secondary crime scene such as forced into a vehicle or dragged behind a building. The statistics are grim. At a second, more isolated location, an assailant will have far more control over you.5. Womens self defense experts say never give up. Another opening or stroke of luck may present itself. The body is more resilient than we think. Plenty of women have been cut or shot but live to tell the story.

Self Defense Weapons: An Overview

Self Defense Weapons: An Overview

Article by Betty Thibeault







The streets are not the safe places as they used to be especially in the city. They are the brooding grounds of many criminals, waiting for their next victim to come over and surrender immediately those things that they wanted, all done through the mere usage of a couple of knives or a metal gun.

Some people may be lucky to have learned some form of martial art to defend himself. But, realistically, when facing these kinds of situation, the martial artists do not constitute a great portion of those who are victimized. Many are just ordinary people going about their ordinary lives. Some are rich enough to buy a gun and the license required to carry one. Some may have the talent of running immediately and “feel” if there is something wrong with the place.

But perhaps the most common victims of the scaring tactics of criminals are women. Especially those who seem like a soft blow might immediately carry off. The vulnerability of most women makes the use of self-defense weapons and absolute necessity.

Criminals, however, do not limit themselves into waiting the right time in the dark streets downtown. Some may even invade your houses, or even hack through your computer, acquiring sensitive information. Protection is necessary. Here are some of the self defense weapons available to protect your home and your data:

1. Surveillance cameras

2. Keyboard recorders

3. Alarms

4. Motion Sensors

5. Diversion Safes

Living in a dangerous world, these devices could be indispensible. Some people use knives and lint as self-defense weapons against criminals. Some let their house be guarded by dogs for the dual purpose of its alarming barks and the claws and fangs that may hurt a criminal.

Pepper sprays are one of the most prolific self-defense items in the market. The pepper spray uses the irritating ability of the chemical called Capsaicin to induce adverse reactions against the criminal. Another common item is the Taser. The Taser is a kind of electrocuting device designed to paralyze enemies. The paralysis is induced through the massive influx of neurotransmitters which overloads the nervous system, causing a shut-down in motor and sensory perceptions of the muscles.

You don’t need to buy the most expensive items in the market such as real guns in order to feel safe. These self defense weapons can already do the job in one press of a button, all for cheap prices and easy usage.

But self-defense weapons need to be safe as much as possible. It is very controversial in some countries due to the damages it may cause. The criminal is still a human being after all! But in cases where permanent damage was inflicted to the criminal, you can legally defend yourself in court through a self defense plea.

Self Defense weapons don’t do much damage normally, but they can if used to some persons. The vulnerability of an allergic to, let’s say for example, capsaicin in pepper sprays might begin a sequence of respiratory reactions which may render difficulty in breathing, worse suffocation.

So it is important to use self defense weapons when matters are plainly dire.

Some Important Aspects of Self Defense

Some Important Aspects of Self Defense

The term self-defense might have quite uncommon in the past but now it has become the requirement of most of us. Since every person is different from other in one’s thinking, perception and actions so in the same way different people have different point of views about self-defense. Some of the people have a point of view that self-defense training is not an essential thing to have a proper self-defense. They think that there are lots of ways that can help anyone to do one’s self-defense. For example if you feel insecure and you are uncertain of what is going to happen with you while you are in your way to office then why don’t you keep self-defense weapons with you to ensure your self-defense. This category of people does not give much importance to the self-defense training because they think that your self-defense is in your own hands and it’s just your level of confidence that matters in the critical situation and you with the help of your self-defense weapons can be able to tackle your opponent.

What Is the Best Combination For Your Self-Defense?

The fact is that all these things are combined to make your self-defense strong. If anything is missing you might feel that you have a weak self-defense and perhaps it will become quite difficult for you to deal with your predator. The self-defense training, the weapons and your level of confidence to apply the taught techniques and weapons vigilantly and efficiently against your predator are necessary to have a foolproof self-defense.

Why Self-Defense Training Is Essential?

Self-defense training is in fact the most essential ingredient of an appropriate self-defense plan. Actually when you get admission in any institute to get the self-defense training then you are taught lots of skills and techniques to deal with an opponent. These techniques and tricks are very helpful when you wisely and rightly use against any predator. However, if you don’t get any type of self-defense training then it is assumed that your predator will get hold on you quite easily because the basic thing of your self-defense is missing. The instructors in the self-defense training institute will not only teach you the self-defense techniques and skills to deal with your predator but they will also give you some useful tips that may be helpful for you in any harmful or threatening situation. Therefore we come to the conclusion that acquiring the self-defense training is much-needed thing in the present time and everyone should take it. Today, you can easily find the institutes where efficient experts are there to offer the students useful self-defense training and the fee of these institutes is also quite reasonable so if you feel insecure then you should take the self-defense training.

Mental Attitude and Awareness – Your Best Self Defense Weapon

Mental Attitude and Awareness – Your Best Self Defense Weapon

Article by Jim Vicker







Rise in Violent Crime Spurs Our Need for a Self Defense Weapon

With so much going on in the world these days, the occurrence of violent crime is definitely on the rise, which makes the need for a self defense weapon on the rise as well. Between the controversial wars in the middle east, the decline in the economy both here and abroad, and the ecological disasters and their ramifications in the gulf and beyond, tension in our lives is on the rise. This inevitably brings out a dangerous element in our society. It is said there is a violent crime happening in the United States once every 22 seconds! Above all else, we each have the primary responsibility to self defense for survival

Attackers Rely on the Element of Surprise

Regardless of the self defense weapon or weapons you may have at your disposal at any given time, it will be of no help to you when you need it unless you are mentally prepared to use it, and you have the knowledge necessary to be effective with it. The biggest downfall of any victim is that they did not expect an attacker to confront them when the time came. Awareness, preparedness and attitude are paramount when the time comes to defend yourself.

Vigilant Awareness is Paramount for Survival

Virtually every time you are in a situation where an attacker could confront you, you must be vigilant in your awareness, ready to do what you learned to do to defend yourself, and what you rehearsed using any means at your disposal. With the right self defense weapon, and practice on how to use it you will no longer be easy prey for muggers, rapists, murderers, and other criminals lurking about. After some decent instruction and some self defense education you will be able to read the signals when they are present. Clutching at the moment of truth will always bring you failure, and it will always bring success to your attacker. Hesitation will make you a victim.;

Attackers Seek the Weakest People for their Victims

Criminals who attack innocent victims are the biggest cowards that walk the earth. They prey upon the innocent, and the unsuspecting because they are heartless heathens who make your weakness their strength. You can never think of your attacker as a fellow human being. He is not a human being if he is attacking you. He is scum, pure low life scum, and you have to be ready to inflict pain on him with no hesitation and no remorse. Your objective in inflicting such pain is to deter his attack long enough for you to break away and run. With any luck, a shot of mace in the face or a good jolt with a stun gun might even make him run once he regains his mobility! Do not count on luck though. Your best self defense weapon is to make your own luck by being ready to take decisive action with pure intent.
