I have been taking karate for quite a few years now. I’m a second-degree black belt, so not quite a beginner. It takes lots of hard practice to get this far…yet I am pretty sure that I would still have a great deal of trouble using it against an attacker, especially one with any size behind them.
Early in my university years and again when I was working within a college, I took a couple of basic self-defence courses. They did two things. They enhanced my awareness of the dangers and gave me ideas for options that I could use. They were definitely worthwhile.
Fear is powerful. And so it should be. Fear keeps us on our toes. It warns us to not be in dangerous situations. Even the best karate move is not to be there when the attack comes in.
So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Personal Self-Defense Month
Consider your answers to these questions.
Do you know what to do if someone grabs you? If not, you may need to take a course on basic self-defence strategies
Are you aware of your surroundings? Don’t become complacent, even in familiar situations.
Are you confident in yourself and do you carry yourself in a confident way? Learn how to walk with confidence. This can be the difference of a potential attacker thinking that you are an easy target and them moving on to the next person.
Take your personal safety seriously. Be prepared. Be Aware. Look like you know what you are doing.
