Is Self Defence for Women as Simple as

Just Running Away?

Of course, it's a myth that somehow your attacker doesn't want to hurt you. When in fact it's the opposite.

One of the things that surprises me is how so many women and men both trained and untrained in the martial arts still overlook a very fundamental but important point regarding self defence. AWARNESS.

You see, your potential attacker doesn't play the same game as you. He is like a tiger at the waterhole, knowing exactly when the prey will come and drink. So he waits. Then he pounces for the kill.

So awareness, means being aware of your surroundings, people, objects location etc. It's a very important aspect if not the key factor of effective self-defence, sadly this aspect is not taught in many of the sports orientated martial arts dojos of today.

The result, it gives practitioners a false sense of security in their abilities to defend themselves. If they are not taught about awareness then they won't even see the attack when it comes.
Tactics for the street are completely different than for the dojo.

The Secret is Unsettling Your Attacker.

If you are attacked don't be afraid to scream or shout like an idiot. If it gives you the opportunity to escape take it run away without hesitation. Yes, it's a breathtakingly simple technique isn't it, but it could save your life.

Remember, your attacker doesn't care about hurting you. He only cares if he gets what he wants. And he doesn't care how he gets it.

Because women are more likely to be attacked by someone larger and much stronger than them is why the technique of awareness is so important.

What's more, if you want to stay safe it should always be your watch word whether you are at home at work or at play. It's what real self-defence is all about.

But a great number of attacks can be avoided by using verbal or special skills. A high percentage of attacks on women 90% are by someone they know, not from strangers at all.

The attack normally follows some kind of verbal exchange. Importunately, knowing how to deal with this initial verbal attack can help you avoid it turning into a violent physical attack enabling you to walk away unharmed.

A lot of unprovoked attacks involve deception on the part of the attacker. They are avoided by not putting too much trust in strangers. On top of that, let your own natural senses tell you something is wrong.

If the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and you feel uneasy trust your senses. Listen to those warnings and loudly tell your aggressor to back off. If he keeps coming forward despite this you'll know his intentions are bad. Should you find yourself in this situation make a lot of noise and be preparedto defend yourself physically.

Freedom from the Fear of Being Attacked . . .

However, if the physical is unavoidable, the difference in strength between a larger man and smaller women can create various problems for the woman.

The recommended manual: Simple Self Defence for Women covers all the topics above. Plus, the techniques are designed to deal effectively with such attacks and are perfect for women's self defence as well as allowing them to quickly grow in confidence and ability.

Does that sound like something you might like?

It's worth noting that in the US alone one rape or sexual assault occurs everytwo minutes, one violent crime every five seconds, one murder every 34minutes. I could go on quoting shocking crime figures but in the interest of not wanting to depress you too much I won't.

Suffice to say: The street is a hard place.

Enough said.
