Self Defense For Women

Men see women as vulnerable and fragile that is why, in most cases, women are the usual victims of violence and crimes. However, this wrong perception needs to stop immediately. Every woman should be strong and smart to be able to protect themselves from threats and violence. Men and women are equal. If men can be fully knowledgeable and skilled with fighting and martial arts techniques, then women can also be. With training and determination, women can also be great masters of martial arts and they can easily knock down their beefy masculine attackers as well. It is very important that every woman like you will always look and stay physically strong so that you will not be easy prospects for crime and violence victims.

However, if you do not have formal training yet on self-defense or martial arts, still, there are easy ways and techniques you can do to protect yourself. With the right timing and opportunity, you can apply these techniques easily and effectively once a stranger attacked you violently. Some parts of your body can be very helpful when fighting your attacker. The elbow is one of the very useful ones, especially when your assailant grabs you and positions himself at your back. A strong elbow strike at his ribs or belly can cause him so much pain, and if you do it well, you will have better chance to run farther away from him.

Your foot is another effective body part to use for self-defense. A strong and powerful kick to the side or front part of the attacker's knees will absolutely immobilize the attacker. Try to avoid high kick, particularly if you want to aim and hit his face. This might give your assailant a chance to grab your foot while it is on the way up. The groin is another favorite part to kick when you want to get away from an attacker successfully.

Another great asset of women when it comes to self-defense is their brains. Yes, if you know that physical strength is not your advantage, then, use your brain wisely. Always trust and follow your instincts because mostly, they are helpful during those difficult times. Be alert and do not panic when someone attacked and grabbed you. Instead, keep an open and relaxed mind to help you think of a better solution to get away from the attacker.

Always be vigilant and be a keen observer whenever you are in a public area or in a dangerous situation. Once you sense that there is something wrong, go towards the area with many people. Do not let yourself be alone in a dark corner so you will avoid being an easy target for robbery, kidnapping, harassment and other crimes.

It is always necessary for women to stay strong, alert, smart and confident whenever they are in a difficult and dangerous situation so they can protect themselves effectively.
