Staying Safe in Public – Tips for Women on Self Defense

Every day on the news we hear more and more stories about women who’ve been attacked or assaulted in some way. – This is a sad fact, and there’s no denying that the need for women to know how to protect themselves is only growing. An attacker can be on top of you in no time, and the best thing you can do is knowing what to do in such a scary situation. He may be physically more powerful than you are, but there are a lot of things you can do to hurt him enough that you can safely get away. – And avoid them altogether.

Obviously, the very ideal situation is that no predator ever even manages to get his hands on you in the first place. Make sure that whenever you are out in public, to be very aware of your surroundings. – Pay attention to exits and the people around you. Ideally, you never want to be completely alone, but if you have no other choice, stick to populated and well lit areas. Pay attention to anyone you feel seems suspicious, and listen to your gut feelings. A good way to deter a would-be attacker is to keep your head up and appear strong, calm, and confident. You never want to look like a victim of any sort, and by appearing confused, scared, or lost you look like a much easier target to any predator.

There are also a several things you should keep in mind when parking your car. If you’re parking somewhere at night, always make sure to put your car underneath or very close to a light source and as close to the building as possible. Make sure to keep your vehicle out of shady or hidden areas, and keep the sharp end of your key sticking out between your fingers. – This is a better weapon than nothing if worse comes to worse. Also, don’t ever park next to, or walk alongside, a van that has sliding doors. These doors make it much easier to be able to reach out and snatch up a person with little notice.

There is always a chance that a kidnapper is going to target you and try to abduct you, however, and you have to be ready for that possibility. Chances are that he is going to approach you from behind, and press a weapon into your back. When this happens, many women make the mistake of giving in to their abductor’s demands because they are so frightened. This is the single largest mistake you can make. If a man gets you away from public and into a car or some private place, he has absolutely no reason not to kill you. In public, however, he is vulnerable, and is going to be afraid of being seen. Use this to your advantage, and resist with all force. Scream as loud as you can and make every effort possible to draw attention to yourself. He’s going to be counting on your cooperation, and if you can cause enough commotion, it’s likely that he will panic and run away.

Let’s suppose, however, that he doesn’t run. Instead, he may panic and try to snatch you away or push you into his car. This is where it is important that you fight back. Do not by any means give in to him. He’s going to have an advantage in strength over you, but there are a lot of ways you can cause him harm and make his job a lot harder. One good trick is to try and head-butt him with your forehead to shock him into letting you go, giving you an opportunity to get away. Pull your head back, and act exactly as if you were sneezing, thrusting your forehead into his. Also, you can do what is called the doorknob – grab either his nose or ears, and twist them with all your might exactly as you would a stuck doorknob. This is going to cause intense physical pain, and the chances of him keeping his grasp on you are slim. You’re looking for any opportunity at all to get away and run as fats as you can. Kick, scream, bite, and try to poke his eyes out. Do whatever it takes.

It’s more important now than ever to make sure you have a good plan in case somebody ever tries to hurt you. – If you are ever attacked by a predator, try to keep from panicking, and instead focus on trying your very hardest to find that moment that you can escape. – Make a commotion and a fuss, and fight as hard as you can. – By keeping a good head on your shoulders and staying on your guard, your chances of surviving an assault are much higher.
