Women Self Defense

Whether you use basic strategy, weapons, or martial arts to defend yourselves, it is important to have the right attitude. The body is prepared is important for self-defense, in addition to your clear and calm mind.  Most of the fine points in martial arts are not necessarily executable given a specific situation.

Therefore, women should also learn the correct posture when defending:

(1) Keep feet shoulder width-apart – Usually, women can minimize the distance between your legs during an attack or attacks. This is a big mistake, because they can travel easily, or being pushed around by the attackers. It’s also a mistake to keep a large distance between the legs, which can continue to run fast. That is why it is better to keep your feet shoulder width apart. This will provide stability when he encourages and provides enough mobility to escape or run away.

(2) Keep your hands up – Contact broader combat such as boxing and MMA, it is important to keep your hands up. This is to ensure that they are able to suppress the crack on the head. However, it is advisable to make a fist when you see it because it will provide clues to the attacker who wants to fight. If you are at risk, keep your hands in front of the body between the attacker and handed him his head.

This compares to just stay calm “talk with your hands..” If attacker begins to move, be sure to trust your instincts a grimace of pain, but keep your hands in front to intercept the crack or move the attacker. Although you may be able to absorb blows attacker basically, you can certainly lessen the impact. They also give him time to run or be defensive weapons such as pepper spray or stun guns.

(3) Avoid threats facing the head – If you suspect an attack, the best is a hind leg step in helping the vulnerable points of your body away from aggression. It is not advisable to meet the head of the attack. Make sure your body, especially in the stomach, well protected. Stepping one foot behind to provide stability against her attacker grabbed her and pushed her forward and lower your profile. You do not have to make clear his attacker steps back into the goal. Stay natural and ensure there is enough space between the legs to stay stable.

(5) Tucking the Chin – In general, receiving a blow to the chin or jaw can turn heads and cause a knockout. This is why full contact fighters keep your chin tucked into the game. Tuck the chin can make it difficult to reach due to talk that is placed in front of the shoulder, his head making it difficult to remove. Tuck the chin can be as cunning as keeping your hands up. Just place your chin, but do not bend backwards. Make sure you tuck your chin enough to turn your neck in all directions.

It is best to practice self-defense posture should be prepared in an attack situation. As many say, “practice makes perfect.” Also, always stay calm and relaxed when running positions to ensure their effectiveness

It is believed that violence and aggression are linked in the brain. Whether we are dealing with adults or children the essence of this is the same. Imagine the brain as having two parts, one part called the primitive brain and the other the rational brain. The primitive brain is responsible for feeling all emotions such as anger, hate, love, greed, envy, jealousy, etc. The rational brain has the job of working out how to get the primitive brain what it wants. This is normally governed by obeying the rules, customs and rituals of society – but not exclusively so.

In a face­-to-face situation, confrontation is unavoidable, but it is manageable. Knowing how to make good use of your verbal and nonverbal skills will be the key to success. To do this you communicate with your assailant’s primitive brain – play to its basic needs and utilize verbal strategies – say the right things. Every good police negotiator knows these tricks and I am ready to share them with you.

If you start with the correct attitude and posture you’ll avoid the traps in body language. This post is dealing with communication skills  provides you with the tools you’ll need for success.It is just as important to know how and what to say to defuse or talk your way out of a situation.

Below are some verbal strategies you might use:

- Giving reassurance – I understand how this looks but everything can turn out okay

- Making an apology – I am sorry, I didn’t mean for that to happen

- Facing the person down

- Remaining silent to provoke the other person to make a first response

- Asking for the required behaviour

Other strategies you might deploy are:

- Playing for time

- Delaying compliance with a request, causing a conversational diversion or depersonalizing the issue.

They can all be adjusted to your needs. Role playing with a trusted friend is an effective way to practise these strategies and hone your skills without anyone actually being in any danger. When role playing consider how you feel when you carry out your part. Imagine you are taking part in a play where you can stop the action and analyse things before continuing. How would you like it to turn out? What changes can you make to elicit the result you desire? Finally, give yourself some feedback. How did you do? Were you successful in achieving your goal? If not, what adjustments might you make to change the outcome? How did you feel about yourself and about your performance? No matter how bad a situation turns out there are always options.

Consider the following:

- How might you make your escape or withdrawal? Would you make an excuse or hit and run?

- How would you call for help? Would you simply shout or use the phone or tap out a message on a pipe?

- What action would you take if attacked? Would you roll over and play possum or are you prepared to stand your ground and fight? Would you run?

- What action would you take if someone else is attacked? Will you shout? Will you intervene or call for help?

It is obvious that you have choices to make. It may be easy to tell you to do this or do that but essential approach is to empowering yourself to accept ownership for your decisions. In each of these options you need to focus on and judge what to do and when. If you are attacked you should think about shouting back at your attacker, calling for help, drawing attention to yourself, seeking people or running.
