WOMEN’S SELF DEFENSE IS NECESSARY

When we watch televisions, read our newspapers, and browse our nets, there are increasing numbers or cases about women who are maltreated by men. This situation gives awareness that it is important for women to have a self-defense against dangerous men. Assertiveness training and judo to mace guns are just some of the techniques and products available for women’s self-defense. Unfortunately, these things are becoming more important and it is necessary to be updated on the most effective and reliable strategies for self-defense of women against men.

Since there are lots of women who works at late hours and overtime nowadays, further awareness to women’s self-defense should be given. An example of the most dangerous places for women are the dark parking lots, and it is a good idea if the said places have special devices like CCTV and are lightened. Where it is legal, it is also good if women have a stun gun or mace gun, which should not be totally shaped us gun but it should be looked like key chains or pens or cell phones so it can be handled by hand without getting any attention.

WHAT SHOULD WOMEN DO WHEN THEY ARE YET HOME AT NIGHT?

  • Always alert and be ready for anything that might happen.
  • Look straight what is ahead.
  • Be aware of the surroundings and be observant.
  • Before walking into own car, always look inside and inspect to make sure that no one is there. See to it that the door is locked when you are already inside. If the remote control is used to open your car, don’t open it in advance when you are too far from it.
  • Be calm and set your active mind.

Sometimes, it is not always stranger men who attack women. There are cases that people women knew personally will be the one who will hurt her. That person might stalk her, befriend with her and find out where she often walked or where is her place of habit before making his bad moves against us.

If a woman does exercises like walking and jogging, it is always a good idea if frequently change the route. As I have said, always be aware and look out for the people around you and for those who are watching your exercise. It is also good if women know how to discern potential dangers. One of the things that you can identify danger is that if a man is always in the place where you walked into and he is always looking at you.

Martial arts like kung fu, Tae Kwan do, aikido, and karate is also best strategies for women’s self-defense. These activities build up the women’s self-confidence and strength to be able to defend themselves against bad men.

Confidence is necessary that women should always remember because it is an effective tool for a self-defense. It is unlikely for a potential attacker to go and do his bad plan for the women if the target seems confident and aware of what is around her.

    • Women who work night shifts should be more aware of such safety tips; like what you had said, they should at least carry a pepper spray, a stun gun, a long umbrella, to ward off potential attackers. They can also carry a whistle to call the attention of other people, or a burglar alarm attached to her bag which can drive away those bad elements.

      Learning martial arts, or keeping fit and healthy is also a plus.

    • Yes, self defense and presence of mind are very important for women in today's world. One has to be alert the moment one walks out of the house till the time one reaches her house after going out may be for studies or for work or any other reason. The potential attackers generally try and figure out who is vulnerable after studying them and their movements well and after making sure that one can get something which they want out of them. If someone knows self defense and uses the same the first reaction of the attacker is he is shocked and taken aback as he would not have expected this from the potential victim as it is like a bolt from the blue.

      Once this happens their confidence level fall a bit and they become jittery unless there are many. It is better the woman after doing this immediately shout or scream for attention or help from other passersby that will further instill fear in these people and they will usually retreat and runaway. The woman has to see her safety and see that she reaches a safe place before calling for the police if required.

    • I do agree of Women's Self Defense, to be very necessary. Women are faced with dangerous situations on a daily basis. Women have to always be vigilant about their surroundings. There have been women who have been robbed, killed, raped, etc. Therefore, it is important for women to learn self defense to protect themselves from harm.

      There are classes on learning self defense for women to be taught how to defend themselves in many ways. Besides, in my opinion, learning self defense is also great as an exercise. Learning self defense will definitely keep you in shape.

      It is important for self defense to be a part of a women's life. Developing the energy for accomplishing the teachings of self defense is mandatory in today's society.

      Sometimes women are placing themselves in dangerous situations, unknowingly or knowingly, and not even realizing it until it is too late. That is why women need to be observant about their surroundings. Self Defense is a good tool for women to have and learn!
