Some Unconventional Self Defense Tactics

Think self defense and images of karate, taekwondo etc. immediately come to mind. What people don’t realize is that self defense need not be that complicated. Self defense starts at home, my friend! That’s right, at home. Even if you are untrained you can do a whole lot to protect yourself.

Hysteria

Self defense is not only about fighting and using your body strength and technique. You can just as efficiently use your mind to master this. Yes, here is an example. And no, I’m not talking about carrying pepper spray either.

As soon as you detect a threat act like you are a lunatic! You read that right! ACT LIKE A LUNATIC! Start hurling obscenities, preferably in a foreign tongue if you know them, spit, hurl do anything. Make it look really convincing, in fact let the idea warm to you so much that you really begin to feel on the verge of hysteria.

You will see that your attacker is suddenly not so sure of himself anymore. You will begin to notice a change in your attacker’s expression and that change, my friend, will be fear. Yes, everyone is scared of mad people. And your attacker will be no exception to the rule. Keep this up for a while and you will find your attacker running away from you, screaming for cover! And then you can have a great big laugh!

Women’s Special

Women, being the weaker sex are especially vulnerable to attack. Rapes and murders are happening every few minutes all over the world and women have to suffer because physically, they are no match for their male counterparts. But in matters of the mind, they are equal and definitely better than men who think not with their brain, but err, certain other parts of their anatomy.

And when you want to defend yourself against these creeps, you need to fight them, not resist them and when I say fight, I mean using all sorts of techniques, screaming, shouting, jabbing at eyes, yelling, running…the works. Because, let me clear one thing out for you, please don’t be under the mistaken impression that you can physically overpower a man.

Sometimes you can even manipulate an attacker by letting him think that you will do exactly as he says only to spring a surprise or two on him later on. This is often times the mark of brilliance. Let the attacker think that you are vulnerable but keep your mind active all the while to look for escape.

Weapons

There are many small weapons that you can carry for self defense purposes and they are perfectly legal. You can, for example, carry pepper spray, a non lethal self defense stun gun or even something as simple as a pair of scissors. This will work wonders in your times of need. In fact absolutely anything can be used as a weapon, if you are creative enough, so be on the lookout and be wary. Self defense is a skill well learnt!
