KNOW THE BEST SELF DEFENSE TACTICS

One of the best self defense tactics around is to show that you're not intimidated by an assailant. This is hard to do when faced with a genuine threat to your safety, but it can be done if you adopt the right mental approach. Even if you don't have martial arts or self defense knowledge, you don't have to let your attacker know that. Most assaults take place in a heartbeat and most thugs don't want to get caught up in a battle. If you're brave and stand up to them immediately, they may have second thoughts about their actions and leave, both in fear of you and of spending too much time with the attack and getting caught. Don't let them think they're in charge, your fate does not depend entirely on the attacker. Be authoritative and their courage will leave them and fleeing the scene will be their next course of action.

Of course, knowing some moves to protect yourself in these situations is essential in the world of self defense tactics. Join a class and learn a form of martial arts to help you be more resilient in the event of any attack. You don't have to be helpless as the attacker unleashes their furious aggression. A good self defense course will enable you to surprise the thug when they attack. Attackers generally prey on people who they perceive to be weak. If you show that you have the ability to defend yourself, the shock is likely to drive them away.

Another shock for the attacker would be if you produced a weapon such as pepper spray, a kubotan or even a stun gun. The pepper spray is small, easily concealed and extremely effective against attackers. A burst of spray into the attackers eyes will completely debilitate them, allowing you to make your escape. The kubotan attaches to a key chain and looks innocuous but the stick is capable of rendering an assailant unconscious with a proper blow. The stun gun is used for close quarters confrontations and delivers an electric charge to the attacker, causing them to collapse to the floor. Any of these weapons will make an excellent addition to your self defense tactics.

While you don't necessarily need weapons, they are very useful and you should consider their use. You will need to learn how to use them effectively however, just as you need to learn and continue to practice your self defense moves. Being brave in a tough situation is never easy, but such behavior could successfully dissuade an attacker and should be combined with the above self defense tactics for greater piece of mind.
