Self-Defense Moves

Basic Self Defense Moves

Ladies, we utilize social,visual and print media, so we are aware of the dangerous times we live in.  Travelling on public transport, to walking the streets, driving in our cars, going to after work limes / clubs, attending church/mosque/mandir and even entering our homes we need to be alert and vigilant. 

I don't think I mentioned it earlier but my husband is a member of the national security fraternity. Based on his training and background, he took me through some basic self defense techniques. His approach is not turn me into Sarah Connors from Terminator or Alice from Resident Evil😆, but to be able to get away from a predator / perpetrator. 

He gave me the following tips:

• It's necessary to keep physically fit because to employ these techniques proficiently you require focus, agility and at times momentum
• A conscious decision must be taken to choose fight to make it to flight from the choices of "Fight/Flight/Freeze"
• In trying to extricate yourself from threatening situations you must accept the fact that your perpetrator may inflict pain and by virtue of your defense actions you will feel pain.
• He has taught me certain moves and I've located a video depicting same. Please click on the link  Source: 5 Minute Crafts https://youtu.be/94V828qSPqE 
• Be realistic, events like this happen quickly and the perpetrator is not gentle or slow to action
• You can check out dojos or security experts who provide training
• Guys, this is a great gift for the ladies in your life
