Personal protection comes in many forms. When I talk about personal protection, I am referring to an individual’s inherited right to defend one’s self against bodily harm. Learning and applying self-defense tactics or weapons against would-be assailants is an individual choice and decision, according to his or her belief and abilities.
The first step in providing for your own personal defense is to put it into your mind. You have to want to protect yourself and to exhibit an air of confidence that you could defend yourself should you find yourself under a physical attack. You do not have to be a trained martial artist to achieve this goal. You simply have to make up your mind to prepare yourself for any situation.
Situational Awareness -Always be aware of your surroundings at all times and have a plan of attack if something unexpected happens. Use this in every walk of your life and this will make you a little safer.
Depending on an individual’s desire and physical ability, adding some type of personal defense device would bolster an impressive line of defense against criminals. I’m talking about non-lethal defense weapons such as, stun guns, pepper sprays and personal alarms.
Self defense devices come in various shapes and sizes. There are stun batons, stun rings, stun flashlights, stun guns that look like cell phones and pagers, lipstick pepper spray and stun gun, keychain pepper spray and the list goes on and on. For those passive individuals, there are personal alarms that emit loud sounds to attract attention and hopefully scare off an intruder.
Whether you walk, jog, ride a bike or do a lot of camping, the need for personal protection is getting greater. Just today I saw on the news where a shop owner thwarted a robbery by spraying pepper spray at the robber which totally reversed the situation. I love it!
Once you have made up your mind that you are going to defend yourself (like the store owner), choose the best defense option for you. Whether it is learning martial arts or buying a self defense weapon, remember, to instill confidence you have to practice and know what capabilities each exhibit.
