Self Defense Tips for Women to Avoid Attack

Learning self-defense has never been this important for women.

With increasing crime rate, falling economy and easily accessible arms and weapons in the market, a woman should know how to defend herself in that moment of danger.

Since women are the one who are out of the house most of the time, buying groceries and spending time alone in the house as well, they are easy target in the culprit’s eyes.

Don’t let the bad guy take your fragile body as a sign of your weakness, practice few tips for self-defense while you are at home. It will not make you a superwoman but it will help you to protect your body or as matter of fact someone else too.

I have researched the top 7 self defense tips for woman that could play a crucial part in a life-threatening situation:

1) Always keep a sharp obstacle in your bag, mostly recommended a ball pan. It doesn’t hurt you while it’s in your bag but it is a legal weapon when you put your thumb in the end and use it against your enemy.

Always aim for his/her hands and neck if in close proximity. Don’t go crazy with flashy moves or don’t loose your focus. If you end up in a hand-to-hand combat, keep your hands up, keep your ball pen pointing at his eyes and be fast, swift and keep moving from one place to another with speed.

Always be loud when certain life threatening conditions show up. Scream at top of your voice to show your enemy that you are not afraid and your ready for one on one. This will help you to get attention from other people, which might just hear you and come to help.

2) If you are being mugged and have been asked your bag or wallet, always look the person in the eye and throw your bag away as much as possible. This trick has helped so many women to save their life while they were being mugged. Once the culprit has it’s eyes on the bag and all the attention has been shifted from you to your wallet just bolt from there screaming for help.

Avoid running in alley and always focus on running into the closest shop, mall or bus stand or something like that where you can find few other people too.

3) Try to stay calm and focus is your key – The culprit is already nervous and has a doubt that he may not pull it off, take an advantage and surprise the enemy with attacks from your elbows and knees. The weakest parts to attack are nose, eyes, Adam’s apple, groin and ear. Take charge and with full force keep attacking him if in close proximity. Don’t forget to yell.

4) Breath and and stay concentrated – You’ll have to overcome the fear of injury. Don’t think you might get injured; your major concern is how to save your life.

5) Remember be cautious once out alone – In the past few years, there have been hundreds of kidnapping cases where women were kidnapped from outside the shopping mart. Women have a habit to sit in their car after shopping and check the “to buy list”. This gives a perfect chance to your enemy to take an advantage of you. Just get in your car and drive away or check the list before you leave the shopping mart.

If there is a big van or a car next to your driver’s seat then enter in your car from the passenger seat.

6) Suspect anyone – While you are home alone and you hear something curious out of your house, always peep through your windows first. Don’t open the door unless you are sure about it. If you hear something suspicious always make sure that you have your neighbor’s number, who can take a look if anything is wrong outside your house.

7) Last but not the least is to be ready – You have to be ready for the worst life-threatening situation of your life. Don’t be sympathetic with the culprit and give a good fight. Be confident and let him know that you are aware of the situation and you know how to handle it…
