a hint on what to do

It can be scary to send your son or daughter off to college, especially for the first time.

Parents might worry about drinking or drug use. They might worry about the neighborhood or city surrounding the school.

And, with some sources reporting that as many as one in four women will be raped during their college career, they could worry about sexual assault.

All of these are reasons why children and women should educate them selves on self-defense.

Women walking alone at night or even going to a party or on a date can be at risk.

Whatever the situation, most predators are looking for an easy target who won’t fight back. Using a few simple strategies can help take that bulls-eye off your chest and give you a way out.

Walking alone at night, looking downward and not paying attention to the surroundings make someone a potential target.

Keep your head up, your eyes up, look around, if you hear something, turn and look make sure u know where its happening before making a move so you don’t head towards the event area.

Most predators will steer clear of someone who seems to be confident and aware.

If a potential attacker does approach, you will know some effective defense moves that can allow you to escape and deter the attacker from trying again.

To demonstrate, as though facing a potential attacker, and you shout: Don’t get that close, I don’t know you that well, as he raised his hands in front of you, take a step back.

Then, if he keeps coming, you know you have a problem

let me give you a step to take in order to defend yourself, showing how to use physical force to escape.

A few quick thrusts of the palms to the attacker’s nose can end the encounter.

It’s even more effective when you use your voice at the same time, shouting with each blow to his imaginary assailant.

I will recommend that you look in the mirror and practice the response every now and then, to keep the technique fresh in your mind.

Those who know what to do are less likely to freeze up if an attack occurs.

And just knowing that you can fight back will help you project an air of confidence that often deters attacks in the first place.

But those attacks are rare. For women, there is a much greater risk of sexual violence, particularly by someone they know.

Ninety percent of sexual assault victims know their assailant but due to fear would not disclose it.
it’s seemed disturbed that many rapes are never reported 65 percent, it’s more like 90 percent.

What does that do to someone?

They’re holding it in; they don’t report it. How would that change somebody? We want to prevent that from happening.

I believe that awareness and smart choices are crucial components of self-defense.

At parties, don’t let your drink or food out of your sight.

Don’t binge-drink.

If a party is getting out of hand or a social situation feels uncomfortable, leave.

Don’t walk alone at night. If you have to, look around and be aware of your surroundings, and carry something you could use as a weapon, like a pen or a kubotan keychain.

Don’t carry a purse at night if you’re out alone.

I must be frank with you that the best self-defense that you should know is to run for your dear life if you can, but if you can’t don’t be afraid to fight back
