Three
Simple Self-Defense Tips:
First,
stay calm and think as the situation develops.
If you are calm, if you do not panic, your mind
will process thoughts so rapidly that it will seem
like you have hours to make a decision about how
to react.
Second, the human skull is an awesomely powerful
weapon. Bashing your forehead into the goon's nose
once is tremendously more effective than slamming
your fist into his nose twice.
Always,
always, always have something easily and quickly
accessible to use as a weapon. Note that I did
not say, "have a weapon accessible" which
is not always practical or advisable. If someone
surprises you, there should be something instantly
accessible to aid in your defense. CBG Safety
sells a number of simple self-defense objects.
Anything you find that is hard and fast should
be aimed at smashing against something made of
bone,
and anything with a point to it should be aimed
at stabbing into soft tissue.
There
is one tip about self-defense that is so important
that entire martial arts systems are based upon
it.
Don't get hit!
Moving along a triangle goes a long way toward
achieving the goal of not getting hit. One of the
most dangerous mistakes the average person makes
during a fight is to move in straight lines. They
will move in a straight line, either forward and
backward, or side to side.
The aggressor is probably going to attack some
point along or around that line: your face, your
throat, your heart, your groin. Moving in a straight
line backward or forward will change the distance
you are from your attacker, but it does not move
your centerline out of the attack path. Moving
laterally (left or right) will change the location
of your centerline, but it does not change the
distance between you and your attacker.
