1. Introduction to why you need to take this online self defense course
If you haven't thought about defending yourself using effective self defense techniques, it is then a fact that you are just a future victim of rape, mugging and other types of physical violence. Criminals such as serial killers, robbers, terrorists and rapists among others thrive on the fact that most people believe that a mugging, a robbery, rape or any other attack can't happen to them. Many people have also pre-surrendered and believe that in the case of such an attack, they will be helpless and there is nothing they can do about it. Some of the "self-proclaimed self defense experts" will advise you to run or surrender in the case of an attack. However, in many instances that won't be an option. A terrorist will stab or shoot you whether you surrender or not. What if the attacker has blocked the only available escape route/exit and there is no escape or the attacker is too close? Do you think a rapist, terrorist, psychopath or mentally disabled person will spare you just because you have surrendered or complied? Running away is only effective when there's that opportunity to escape. In most cases, you need to use self defense techniques to create that opportunity by disrupting or attacking the assailant. Other instances where running may not be effective include:
You can trip and fall while retreating backwardsBy facing away to run you are giving the attacker your back and he may stab youWhat makes you believe that you will run faster than the attacker? He may still outrun you.
Just like running, surrendering is only effective when the assailant is interested in your valuables but not to harm you. However, it may be difficulty to determine the true intention of an attacker because some attackers will rob you then rape you or even shoot/stab you.
There is also the other group that believes the ultimate defense is having your own gun. "The Glock" is their preferred answer to the question "what will you do if somebody attacks you". To some extent this is true, particularly in those countries where owning a gun or carrying a concealed gun is allowed. Nonetheless, you can't carry a gun everywhere and in many countries like the UK, Australia and most western Europe countries, you can't carry a gun and there are strong restrictions on knives.
Another reason why owning a gun isn't the ultimate self-defense is deployment. If you are attacked within 3 feet, will you be able to draw your gun and fire? As a matter of fact, research done in the 80s by police sergeant Dennis Tueller of Salt Lake City police department proved that a trained officer requires about 1.7 seconds to recognize a threat, draw his gun and fire at the attacker. However, an average attacker charging towards the officer can easily cover a distance of 21 feet with 1.7 seconds. It is therefore obvious that you need enough distance and consequently enough time to draw your gun and operate it effectively before the attacker reaches you. This distance is referred to as the safety distance or reaction gap, that is, the minimum distance between you and the attacker within which you can effectively respond to the attack. If the assailant launches an attack within a distance that is shorter than the safety distance, you won't be able to draw and operate your gun effectively hence you need to learn self-defense, particularly hand to hand combat. Additionally, you won't be able to escape/run because the assailant will be on you before you can create enough space to escape. It is also worth noting that your reaction time will definitely be increased by factors such as fatigue and fear. Similarly, the attack speed of the aggressor can be increased by factors such as rage and drugs such as heroin. Thus the safety distance/reaction gap is usually extended to 30feet.
It is now definitely clear that you need self defense training because you won't always have the opportunity to run, compliance/surrendering doesn't guarantee safety and a gun won't be effective when ambushed at a close range (within your reaction gap).
It is hard to imagine being attacked, stabbed, raped or even killed by a stranger, but it happens every day all over the globe. Such attacks are fast, dynamic, and messy and the attacker will be trying to injure, rape or even kill you. The attacks occur without warning, and when you least expect. Even though this is a scary fact, any average person must take it seriously because it is real. There is no need for discussion. It is a fact that we need self-defense techniques in order protect ourselves and families against violent crime. What will you do when you find yourself in such a situation? I think this is a question every person ought to ask himself/herself. Imagine the agony your family will go through when you are killed or completely disabled due to stabbing. Although the government bears the greatest responsibility when it comes to protecting its citizens and preventing crime, it is upon you to protect yourself.
Nothing feels better than knowing you can defend yourself in all situations. Having knowledge in self-defense boosts your confidence and gives you reassurance. The confidence and reassurance can only be gained by undergoing self-defense training. However, when people think or hear the term 'self-defense, what comes to their mind? Years of tough training in practices such as Taekwondo, karate, jiu-jitsu, Krav Maga etc. Although this can be true, you are not necessarily required to undergo years of tough training to be able to defend yourself. Well, you can decide to challenge yourself by mastering a martial arts practice of your choice by undergoing years of training. However, defending yourself requires you to learn just the basic self defense moves. Moreover, online self defense training classes like this one are also available. Self-defense has one purpose and one purpose only, to survive. Hence, the simpler it is, the more the likelihood of survival.
So let me spare you hundreds of dollars in martial arts classes and years of tough training in martial arts. I will help you minimize the chances of you being raped, mugged, harmed or even killed. I will take you through a step by step guide to effective self defense. By the end of this course, you will be able to prevent, avoid or stop any kind of physical attack on you. In the write-up below, I have provided the fundamentals of self-defense and finally a summary of what has been covered in this self defense video course. The fundamentals include the principles of Avoidance, Awareness, and Prevention as well as self defense guideless for different attacks such as knife attacks, ground fighting, and many more. If you are a self defense expert, the techniques in this hand to hand combat course will definitely spice up what you already know. If you are beginner or you have no background in hand to hand combat for self defense, the self defense course will give you the confidence and skills to avoid or prevent an attack or ultimately defend against any attacker by inflicting serious damage to the him or her.
2. The Self defense principles of Avoidance, Awareness, and Prevention
Avoiding or preventing an attack is easy, and in most cases, it does not require physical self-defense or mastering martial arts. Thus, avoidance, awareness and prevention are the first lines of self-defense. For an assailant to attack you, he only needs three things: intent, means, and opportunity. Therefore, the easiest way of preventing or avoiding an attack is to deny the assailant any one of the three things. The following simple guideline will significantly reduce the chances of you being ever attacked
2.1. Avoid dangerous places and people
This is the first rule of self defense. If you avoid places where violence is likely to occur, then you significantly reduce the chances of you being attacked or even being considered a target. Such places include high crime areas; places where potentially violent people frequent e.g. drug dens, bars with no effective security measures and personnel etc.; poorly lit places; places where there are people who don't like you or in places where people tend not to like your kind; and in-between places (places where people commonly pass through, but not too frequently, e.g. isolated lanes and corridors, jogging trails, etc.)
2.2. Be a high risk and low reward target
It is important to note that attackers select their target based on a particular conception of risk vs. reward, that is, what he wants to gain from the attack (reward), versus the chances of him being injured, killed arrested, etc. (risk). Although there exist some exceptions like the mentally ill, suicidal people and those under the influence of drugs, attacks from such people are few if not negligible. Therefore, you can prevent an attack by increasing the risk and decreasing the reward for the attacker.
Attackers choose a victim that they can successfully attack with minimum risk. You can increase the risk by paying attention to the surroundings. Walking with earphones in your ears, talking on the phone, texting, being drunk in public among others shows the attacker that you are not alert, and they can successfully launch a surprise attack. Projecting a confident, attentive presence is an effective deterrent.
Identifying a physically fit person is easy. Thus, regular exercise will make you a high-risk target. The clothing you are wearing also contributes to the likelihood of being attacked. For instance, a robber will prefer to attack a lady in a mini-skirt and high-heeled shoes as opposed to a lady wearing a pair of jeans trousers and running shoes. You should wear clothing that allows you to move freely. Also wearing revealing clothing may be the right motivation to a rapist who is already looking for his next victim.
You can decrease the reward by not flushing valuables such as expensive phones, jewelry, cash money, laptops, and other electronics in public. Don't wear expensive jewelry or carry an expensive purse when in high-risk areas.
Make your home a high-risk target by increasing the obstacles a potential intruder has to deal with. The obstacles may include visible CCTV cameras, window grills, motion sensing lights, and a barking dog among others. In this case, a potential robber is more likely to choose an easier target.
2.3. Be aware of your surroundings
Being aware and mindful has numerous advantages, not just for self-defense purposes. You should know what is normal in your neighborhood in order to identify any strange thing. Some questions to ask yourself: Why did those four men split into two groups but keep walking toward me? Why is that man's hand held behind his back? Listen to your gut, and trust your instincts then use them to your advantage. If you don't feel safe, please take action regardless of what others will say.
2.4. Pre-attack indicators
It is important to note that attackers usually provide easily identifiable pre-attack indicators hence it doesn't take a psychic to see when an attack is imminent. For instance, it is common for an assailant to begin their attack with a barrage of swearing and verbal abuse. It may be that your would-be assailant is not overly sure of their ability to beat you and therefore the verbal exchange is an 'interview' of sort that will help them to determine the risk of engaging a fight. Either way, the important thing to note is that there is very likely to be some kind of verbal exchange before a fight begins. Your assailant is likely to give a number of signals when their verbal aggression is about to escalate to the physical. Look for a change in skin colour, rapid breathing, an aggressive facial expression, a clenching fist, pointing, and a change in voice tone among others.
Other pre-attack indicators include;
While in isolated place you see a man leaning against a wall with a phone to his ear, and another is walking towards you with a phone to his ear, but none of them seems to be talkingA man doing a weapon check at some distance (either visually or doing a quick pat on his pocket)*A man is looking at you up and down nervously.A person with one hand swinging naturally while another hand is unnaturally placed in concealment, or unnaturally immobile.People standing, seating or waiting where they don't belong
Note: Do not provoke people or allow a verbal conflict to escalate. Whenever you feel threatened and your life is in danger, you should immediately escape or create distance if there's that opportunity, if not, deliver a precise and lethal strike to a weak point. If bodily harm is threatened by surprise and you are caught unaware and unable to escape, especially when weapons are involved and the attacker is only interested in your valuables, comply and give up your valuables. If the threat is coming from a terrorist, a serial killer or a rapist, compliance won't save you. In this case, use the self defense techniques learnt in this self defense class to increase your chances of survival.
3. Why Self Defense Is Important in the Modern Society - Why You Should Have the Ability to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones
It is worth noting that crime can happen to anyone at any time and this is the reality. At some point in life, you will be attacked, and this may come from a person you least expect. Knowing that you are able to fight to protect yourself and knowing exactly how you can do it ahead of time not only boosts your confidence but enhances the probability of successfully defending yourself. Having self-defense knowledge and mindset will enable you to identify the possibilities of flight or fight before the attack happens. Remember that in the case of an attack, the winner will normally be the first to act. The following are some of the benefits of learning self-defense
3.1. It builds confidence
The society is filled with a lot of negativity making people feel unprotected. Practicing self-defense will help you to control your aggression and defeat your fear, thus making you experience internal peace and at the same time, boost your levels of confidence. It feels great to have the reassurance that you can defend yourself from anyone, anytime and anywhere.
3.2. It improves your balance
Self-defense training improves your balance which allows you to focus on your target while you control your body. If you don't have proper body balance, it's hard to protect yourself.
3.3. It develops self-discipline
In order to develop effective self-defense capabilities, you need to be self-motivated and dedicated to the practice. Self-defense is known to have positive effects on the mind as its training requires determination. This eventually develops self-discipline.
3.4. It improves your physical and mental strength
Undergoing self-defense training will keep your muscles healthy and strong hence enabling you to gain balance, speed and body coordination. This will give you the necessary physical and mental strength when faced with an assailant.
3.5. You will be more aware of your surroundings
Violence is an ugly affair, and it is better prevented or avoided. With self-
