SELF DEFENSE TIPS
Do
as much as you can to avoid a confrontation - "anticipation and
avoidance" are the key words. If you get caught up in a situation, try to
talk to an aggressor without provoking them. Practice relaxation, as appearing
fearful or stressed can actually provoke an attack. Remember that body language
is important in aggressive situations, so maintain a comfortable distance
between you and the aggressor.
Use
a gas or electronic attack alarm, as these give out a short piercing sound and
will temporarily disorientate an attacker, giving you enough time to escape.
Carry it somewhere where you can get to it quickly - don't leave it buried at
the bottom of your bag. If you don't have an alarm, just make a noise yourself
by screaming as loud as you can, or shouting "call the police" - if
you're loud enough this can be just as effective as a personal alarm. If you
have an alarm, use it and shout as well.
Steady
yourself if danger threatens. Panic can disable you, so again it’s useful to
learn how to keep control in a difficult situation. And if you must fight back,
adopt what police term the "bash and dash" approach. Primary targets
are the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, throat, groin, knees or shins; choose
whichever is easiest to get to.
If
held from behind don't struggle forward, you'll only exhaust yourself. Instead
throw yourself backwards to surprise your attacker or stomp on the lower leg or
foot.
You
have the right to defend yourself with reasonable force and this includes using
items you have with you such as an umbrella, bag, briefcase or keys. However,
don't carry or use anything that the law would regard as an offensive weapon.
Once you've achieved your primary aim of stunning or surprising your attacker,
get away as fast as you can. If you manage to overcome them don't attack again,
you could be putting yourself in more danger or you could end up being charged
with assault.
These
are just the very basics of self-defense, but to learn more about it and get
some exercise at the same time, find a local self-defense class and encourage
your family along to join you. Just remember "anticipation and
avoidance" are the best forms of defense.
