Self Defense Tips For Women

Every day on the news we hear more and more stories about women who’ve been attacked or assaulted in some way. – This is a sad fact, and there’s no denying that the need for women to know how to protect themselves is only growing. An attacker can be on top of you in no time, and the best thing you can do is knowing what to do in such a scary situation. He may be physically more powerful than you are, but there are a lot of things you can do to hurt him enough that you can safely get away. – And avoid them altogether.
The first thing you should do is take steps to make sure no guy ever even gets his hands on you. Always make sure that you are completely aware of your surroundings. Pay attention. You never want to be alone, but if you absolutely have to be, stay in well-lit areas and well-populated areas. Be on the lookout for anyone who looks creepy or suspicious. Also, a good way to help deter men who are looking for prey is to appear calm, confident, and strong. Remember, you don’t want to look like a victim. If you seem frightened, confused, or lost, a predator is much more likely to choose you, since you appear to be an easier target.
The easiest place to be abducted is in a parking lot, so pay close attention when you park your car. You want to park as close to your building as you can, and if it is dark outside, make sure the area is well-lit. Also try to park in places that aren’t obstructed from vision by people, and never park next to a van with sliding doors. It may sound paranoid, but a standard operation for kidnappers is to wait inside a van with tinted windows until they see someone they want, and if you park next to them, you’re easy prey. Keeping your keys between your fingers like knives is also a good deterrent while you’re in a parking lot, and can help if someone decides to put their hands on you.
Let’s assume you are in a public place and a man has jumped out and grabbed you. He’s got some form of weapon sticking in your back, and he wants you to go somewhere. What you do now is crucial. Never, ever let him take you to a second location. Even if he has a weapon on you, going with him is almost certain death. Instead, fight back. Scream, kick, make as much noise and draw as much attention to yourself as possible. Remember, your attacker is already going to be nervous, because he doesn’t want to get caught. If he finds out immediately that you’re only going to fight against him and draw attention, there’s a good chance that he’ll get scared and flee. The bottom line is that you should never allow yourself to be subdued or comply with your attacker’s demands.
Finally, let’s suppose he doesn’t flee, but instead tries to force you into his car. You want to fight back, and you want to do it hard. He’ll probably have a physical advantage over you, so you want to know a few moves that can inflict the maximum amount of pain with little required physical exertion. The first is called the “doorknob” – grab either his nose or, ideally, his ear, and twist as hard as you possibly can. You can also do what’s called the “sneeze” – rear your head back and, just as if you were sneezing, snatch it forward and head-butt him in the nose. Aiming for the eyes is a great place too. – People naturally dislike having their eyes touched or poked at, so if you get an opportunity to jam him in the eyes, take advantage of it. Your goal is to shock him into letting go of you. If you succeed, make sure you run as fast as you can to get away. Never stick around if you get an opportunity to flee. Immediately run somewhere public and well-populated and get help.
It’s more important now than ever to make sure you have a good plan in case somebody ever tries to hurt you. – If you are ever attacked by a predator, try to keep from panicking, and instead focus on trying your very hardest to find that moment that you can escape. – Make a commotion and a fuss, and fight as hard as you can. – By keeping a good head on your shoulders and staying on your guard, your chances of surviving an assault are much higher.
