Tips for Self Defence




By Michael Sanford

Every day we face the risk of being attacked. Attacked by
the street robbers, home intruders, rapists and violent
persons of other sort. If you, your relative or a friend are
attacked, you have a right to ward off an attack by using a
force. According to the terms of law, the reasonable use of
force somebody need for protection against the use of
unlawful force by other person, is called "self-defense".
This definition is quite simple and easy to understand, but
we avoid to use it due to its evident scantiness.


The real self-defense is actually the complicated
polyhedral conception which involves lots of various
aspects. In a broad context we can consider self-defense
as a person's ability to resist different kinds of negative
influence that somebody tries to exercise upon him (her).
Repelling an attack of a street robber, shooting at a
burglar, preventing Internet attack, responding to verbal
abuser, exposing a fraud, surviving terrorist attack,
showing political protest against antisocial law - it all can
be referred to self-defense. Self-defense plays a great part
in everybody's life, but we often don't give a proper weight
to it. Self-defense embraces a huge variety of skills we use
not only in particular defensive situations but in a thousand
events of our daily routine.
To resist a negative external influence every self-defender
must have a kind of inner core which gives him a power,
makes him being strong in front of agressor's eyes. You
must be strong to say 'em "Hands off! Go away from me!"
It's not a matter of physical strength - you have to be a
person of a powerful spirit in the first place. There's a kind
of rebel in a heart of every real self-defender. The rebel
who doesn't want to take things as they are, who doesn't
allow you to bend the neck under surrounding pressure
Traditionally, there are two general approaches to self-
defense. The first defensive approach is relatively simple.
Usually who fires first, wins the game. It evidently has
some drawbacks. First, when you entirely rely on weapon,
you become dependent on it.
The second approach to self-defense bases on martial
arts training.. Every combative school has some special
features. And there's virtually no use in giving any manuals
for fighting - it would be much more useful to watch some
of these videos or visit our discussion center. The principal
benefit of martial arts training is that it really gives you the
confidence in your strength, your defensive abilities. It's the
kind of weapon you carry every time and you can always
rely on. Although martial arts training involves a large
variety of extra skills which seem useless to many people
who want to acquire only the physical aspects, that appear
to be directly connected with self-defense.
Some tips for Self Defense :
Always keep control under your surroundings. Show
potential attackers that you guess about their intentions - it
could guard you from the possible attack.
Avoid dark, deserted routes, even if they're the shortest.
If you're attacked, don't lose self-control, don't fall into
panic, don't stop thinking. Fear is one of your most
dangerous enemies. The key to successful self-defense is
self-control and rational thinking.
Alcohol is also one of the worst self-defender's enemies.
Don't lose control under yourself.
Don't expect unknown people to help you if you're attacked
or pursued. They usually don't want to get involved in such
cases.
Your weapon must be carried only in the pocket or holster,
i.e. you should always be able to pull it out quickly. The
bottom of your bag or purse ain't a good place to keep a
weapon.
Avoid to shake your weapon at the attacker. It can be used
against you in attack if it is taken away from you. Weapons
are destined to shoot, but not to menace.
Avoid to come to single combat even if your opponent is
obviously weaker than you. The knife in his hand can
suddenly alter the balance of power.
Don't demonstrate your gun to police officers. Police have
shot innocent people because they were holding weapons
when the officers arrived.
Remember that courts often disapprove of the use of force,
even justifiable, in the acts of self-defense.
Don't pick up any suspect objects in public places. You can
run against masked bomb. Don't open suspect letters or
postal wrappers.
Keep all the doors and windows in your house locked
every time. Keep a loaded gun in a secret place you can
easily reach in alert.
When you're at the parking, going to enter your car, look
around with attention to make sure that no one is watching
for you.
Avoid to carry the strangers even women while driving the
car.
Keep yourself within the law. Police don't like wild cowboys
and terminators.
The use of deadly force may be justified only to defend
against force, or the threat of force of nearly equal severity.
Then you talk to police, remember that anything you say
can and will be used against you in a court of law.
