Self Defense Tips

1. If a potential attacker approaches you but has not yet touched you, make
yourself into an unappealing target. Assuming a defensive stance may make the
offender more likely to back off. Stand with your legs shoulder width apart,
hands in front of you, and palms spread. Tell the attacker that you don’t want
any trouble. If he or she still approaches, use your generously hit the jerk
with mace pepper spray to the face.

2. If your attacker still poses a threat, there are many other areas of the body
you can try to injure:

—The groin is a very vulnerable area if your attacker is male. You can either
kick him or grab the area and squeeze it.

—A hard kick or stomping motion on the attacker’s instep can cause enough force
to break his or her ankle.

—Jab the attacker’s eyes using your fingers.

—If your attacker grabs you from behind, turn your chin toward his or her elbow
and force it down. This will relieve pressure on your throat and delay loss of
consciousness. While in this position attack any areas you can reach, like kick
the attacker’s groin or stomp his or her instep.

3. Almost any object you may be carrying can be used as an improvised weapon.
Scratch the attacker with keys, jab pencils into his eyes or ears, jab his or
her upper lip with a credit card or ID card. If you are wearing high heels,
these can be used to stab your attacker’s foot or hand. Use anything you have to
your advantage.

4. Beware of some defensive moves that can also cause injury to yourself. If you
use your fists, try hitting so that your pinkie faces the surface; a traditional
punch can injure your knuckles. Avoid kicking with the top of your foot. Make
sure to keep your mouth closed; a blow to an open mouth can break your jaw. Keep
your hands in front of your face for protection.

5. Make allot of noise, a perfect tool for this is a personal attack alarm that
can be found at diyselfdefense.com
this loud screeching sound may frighten off your attacker and attract attention
from those who may be able to help.

6. Remember that your primary goal is to escape, and take advantage of
any opportunity to flee.

Self Defense for Women

I have always considered myself to be a pretty average woman – you know, a busy mom, writer, homemaker, worker, PTA member and community member.
I can remember a time not too long ago when I felt perfectly safe tooling through the neighborhood, going on walks with my daughter in her stroller around town, going to school events, the mall, going for a morning or afternoon jog and going to work.

I still consider myself a pretty average woman, but some things have changed for me. Even though I live in a pretty quiet town by most standards, crime has been on the rise. The thing about crime in this small, quiet town is that – just as in large cities – crime comes randomly and seemingly, out of nowhere. This is where normalcy ends for me and protection becomes a prominent worry.

As I have researched, I am finding that more and more the term self defence and women are becoming connected to one another.

Most of us – whether high powered executives or busy homemakers – are concerned about our security. We can be vulnerable whether we are leaving the office walking through a dark parking lot to our car, working in our garden or around the house, or going to the ATM. Any place and any time a woman is alone or vulnerable, she is at risk of a personal attack by someone who sneaks up behind her, breaks into her home or follows her to her car.

As a result more women are purchasing stun guns, pepper spray and personal alarms. Why are women purchasing these self defense products? Mainly because most of us don’t want to use a gun and necessarily kill someone; we want to stop the intruder or attacker in their tracks and get away or get help. A stun gun or pepper spray will incapacitate the attacker long enough for that to happen.

Most of us probably never thought things would get to this point, however; unfortunately they have. The good news is that we can protect ourselves and our families.

I recommend the self defense products for women kits that DIY Self Defense is offering. . These self defense weapons for women have been especially chosen for take down power, reliability, and portability in mind.

What nonlethal weapons do police use?

BY JASON KOTOWSKI, Californian staff writer
Friday, Mar 21 2008 5:51 PM

Whether with a jolt, a sting or a wallop, law enforcement has a wide variety of tools at their disposal to take a suspect alive or disperse a crowd.
The county SWAT team uses to fire nonlethal “rubber” bullets.

The “less-lethal” weapons used by the Bakersfield Police Department and the Kern County Sheriff’s Department are virtually the same.
The average cop or deputy on the street use:

• Pepper spray — Also called OC spray (for oleoresin capsicum), used to irritate the eyes and cause pain. Sheriff’s Sgt. Ed Komin said the effects of the spray usually wear off 45 minutes after exposure. If you get pepper sprayed Officer Scott Lazenby said you need fresh air and patience.

• Taser — An electroshock weapon that can be used from a distance of up to 25 feet by firing prongs that stick into a person, or by placing the weapon against a suspect and activating it. The weapon delivers a shock that causes pain and muscle contraction for five seconds, but after the shock is over there is no lasting effect. Police Detective Kevin P. Findley said one drawback to the Taser is that some suspects are able to pull the prongs out after they’re hit. This weapon is the most recent addition to law enforcement. Every deputy is armed with a Taser and so are many, but not all, police officers.

• Baton — Perhaps the oldest less-lethal weapon that law enforcement uses, the baton is a short stick, typically made of wood, used to hit certain parts of the body to incapacitate a suspect. A drawback, said Komin, is that a lasting injury can result.

• In addition, some officers in the police department use a Pepper Ball gun. This CO2-powered gun, very similar to a paintball gun, fires small pellets that release pepper spray when they break open.

There are several important implications to this article. First, if the police are becoming aware that there are non-lethal ways of subduing attackers, there is hope for the rest of us. Secondly, there are self-defense tools available to all of us. We have choices and can get information regarding which tools are best for our needs.
