Women's Best Self Defense Tips

Women are the targets of 90 % or more of all assaults from domestic violence to date rape to street crimes-just a fact. Guys you should be aware of these tips too. They'll work for you and you can pass them along to the women in your life.

Women's Best Self Defense Tips

1. Get a self defense program in place.
2. Get a self-defensive attitude. This will enhance your self-confidence and power to fight back. Building confidence in your ability to defend your self shows through.
3. Use common sense and restraint. Everyone has choices on where they go and how they get there. Keep to well lit areas, go with a buddy, avoid dangerous areas.
4. Learn how to avoid a fight. It takes two to tangle. Take the high road and walk away when given the opportunity.
5. Keep practicing. The self defense skills you learn should become second nature.
6. Be aware of where you are.
7. Hitchhiking is dangerous-use buses or taxis.
8. Never act or appear to be an easy target. Don't look like victim. Most guys who assault women are not all that smart but they are not stupid either. Someone who is walking with their head down and an uncertain gait presents an easy target.
9. Have body language that exudes self-confidence.
10. Start screaming your head off. Then try biting, scratching eyes-anything you can do to defend your self.
11. Trust your instincts. Women especially are blessed with an uncanny knack for sensing things. They should use and trust that instinct. When you get a shiver down your spine be ready to react.
12. Get a survivor mentality. This starts with developing an awareness of your surroundings and aware of the fact that women are potential targets all their lives.
13. Don't become paranoid. Just be aware!
14. Your priorities are survival and escape. You don't get style points. Fight dirty.
15. React quickly. An assault situation demands a speedy response not where's my pepper spray.
16. Use anything you can get your hands on as a self defense weapon. A pen in your purse, keys, your fingernails-anything that might cause some damage.
17. Don't be a provocative target. Getting drunk or high on drugs is akin to asking for trouble-even when with friends.
18. Learn some basic points on the body that yield the results you want. Eye gouges, groin kicks, the heal of the hand to the base of the nose, a hard punch to the ear all will get you a release.
19. Having a stun gun is not enough. Learn and know how to use them and practice using them. They will give you from 3-15 minutes to escape to get help or just escape and survive.
20. Your life is at stake here. I can't stress this enough practice different scenarios so when (not if) the time comes you instinctively know what to do and it just happens reflexively.

Following these tips may end up saving your life. Remember the old saying "walk softly and carry a nasty pepper spray."

10 Best Self Defense Tips For Women

These are SHOCKING statistics!
For more than 30 years I have been running specialized self defence courses and seminars. Over that time I have shown thousands of people how to protect and look after themselves.
Increasing personal safety ALWAYS commences with awareness. Since most women fear attacks of a sexual nature more than anything else most of my quick tips are geared towards that.

If you are a woman, here is a list of ten simple things that you can do immediately that will increase your safety:

10 Best Self Defense Tips For Women

1. Do not wear revealing clothing in public places. Doing so will ensure that you attract plenty of attention, including attention from those people with evil intent. Be discrete and leave provocative wear to those times when you can enjoy the intimacy of your partner.
2. Trust your instincts. Women are very intuitive. If you think a situation might be dangerous then it probably is. That little guardian angel should be trusted rather than ignored.
3. Rape and other sexual assault is always increasing. In the event of the worst outcome use your fingernails to gouge your attacker's cheek. It marks him for identification and you will have DNA under your nails.
4. Drive your motor vehicle in a courteous manner. Nobody appreciates rude hand signs. Remember - eventually you have to stop, even if it is to refuel. Psycho cases might follow you for many miles "just to teach you a lesson" - all because you made yourself a target to their twisted minds.
5. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, taking mind altering drugs and leaving ANY food or drink unattended where it may be tampered with is a recipe for disaster. Give your self an even chance.
6. NEVER pick up hitch-hikers and ABSOLUTELY NEVER hitch-hike yourself.
7. If you live alone make sure that all your mail is addressed by just your first initial followed by your surname. Never allow mail to be addressed to you with salutations like Miss, Mrs, Ms or with your christian or given name. Those letters and parcels pass many eyes before they get to you. Change them. Make them nondescript as to your sex and marital status. Why allow anybody even one extra shred of information about you?
8. NEVER walk alone at night or at any time in isolated areas. Predators love these locations. Avoid them.
9. Many sexual acts are committed by people who the victims knew - or, at least, thought they knew! Be friendly and polite by all means but be vigilant for tell-tale signs of "strange" behavior. Do NOT flirt. Be firm about any unwanted attention, particularly in the work place.
10. Sexual attack is usually preceded by some visual sign, which is usually preceded by some verbal approach before the physical action. Recognize the sequence: the look - the talk - the attack.

Best Self Defense Technique for Woman : Less Can Be More

When it comes to self defense techniques, less can be more. You just have to make sure that you don't waste time with the ineffective and inefficient ones. If you really want to learn how to properly defend yourself, you have to focus on the best self defense techniques for females. This way, you can focus your available time and resources in mastering them.

Here are some of the best self defense techniques for females:

1. Shouting for help : It may sound anticlimactic, but shouting for help is one of the best techniques that you can use. Do you want to know why most attackers often go for the mouth first? It's to prevent the victim from shouting. If you're able to shout for help, there's a good chance that your attacker will run away for fear of getting caught in the act. A personal alarm is also useful.
2. Running away : Let's say that you just entered a dark alley and you see a suspicious man on the other end. What should you do? You should go the opposite direction. Run if you see him walking or running towards you.
3. Use a self-defense weapon : As a woman, you're always at a disadvantage against a man. This is especially true if the man is high on something and he has a weapon. Take back the advantage by having a self-defense weapon like a pepper spray or stun gun.
4. Use self-defense moves : When worse comes to worst, you'll need to defend yourself mano-a-mano. Here are some techniques that you can do:

Eye-gouge
This is one of the best self defense techniques for females out there because it requires little to no training. There's a reason why this move is not allowed in mixed martial arts and your attacker will know this the hard way.

A punch to the nose
The nose is very sensitive, that a direct strike can lead to unbearable pain. Instead of a punch that he'll see coming, an upward strike with the heel of your palm is better.

A knee to the groin
This is the most popular self defense technique out there. No matter how high he is, a knee to the groin will surely bring him to his knees.

A kick to the knee
With a broken knee, he'll have a hard time running after you. This way, you can use tip number 2 effectively.

Add common sense to these techniques and you can have peace of mind knowing that you're safe.
