What do you do when you face a beating, a robbery or a rape?
In Today's often violent world, self-defense is no longer a choice - it's a responsibility and knowing self defense tactics are unquestionably the best way of ridding yourself of an aggressor promptly when techniques are applied accurately.
Let's take a look at some stats and see why knowing self defense is a good idea.
******************************************************************
Statistics
******************************************************************
There is a violent crime every 22 seconds, 24 hours a day in the U.S.
In the year 2000 there were over fifteen thousand murders, almost two per hour!
One murder occurs every 34 minutes.
90,187 forcible rapes, one every six minutes!
Over 3,600 aggravated assaults and robberies every day! One every 24 seconds!
49,000 car jackings and attempts of car-jacking!
One burglary every 15.4 seconds!
In the year 2000, 2.8 % of college women experienced rape in a six month U.S. Department of Justice study.
As you can see we don't live in a very safe society these days and it isn't getting any better. Just watch the news everyday and that will tell you that crime is on the rise and we all should be looking over our shoulder. Everybody is at risk in being involved in some sort of threating situation. If you are in this situation do you know enough self defense tactics to survive?
Crime is an equal opportunity employer it doesn't discriminate. It starts with kids in school and goes all the way to adults. Are you a parent with young children in school? Schools have changed dramatically since you and I went over 20 years ago. Kids in school now a days have to face the bully situation and peer pressure as well. School bullies are going at a rapid pace starting in elementary school. Are your children able to protect themselves in this type of environment? That is what all parents need to be asking themselves and being truthful about what they want for their children. Your children should be confident that they can protect themselves at all times. The same goes for adults as well. Confidence is the best way to get out of many attacks. If you look and feel like a victim then you will be a victim.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Here are some simple tips that you can use while learning self defense tactics.
1. Eyes: Use your fingers and start poking the eyes of your assailant. You should then be able to run away to a more secure area and get help.
2. Groin: Kicking or striking a man in the groin is often times though of as taboo. I would advise the reader though, that there are few self-defense tactics that are as effective as this one.
3. Car Keys: Your car keys are a great weapon to use. Hold your keys between your index finger and your thumb and use a swinging motion and aim for the face of your attacker. The keys act like little knife blades and can do some real damage.
4. Kicking: Start screaming and kicking anywhere you can especially in the groin or shins. Taking the heel of your foot and sliding it down on the shins is very painful and will stop most attackers. At this point you should be able to get away and get some help. Remember that attackers don't like attention drawn to them so screaming is one of the best defenses you have.
These are just some simple tips but they are no replacement for knowing great self defense tactics. If you want to feel safe and confident you need to learn how to defend yourself.
