Self Defense

[bobgalle10001]

Hi every one, Can any one tell me Are there any self-defense tactics I can use without receiving specialized training?

Kick,throw punches,pepper spray,etc.Some will say that you don't need training to carry a firearm so long as you learn how to carry,draw,operate,and reholster;all of these things can be learned either here or on YouTube,practicing them and becoming proficient is up to you.

Run away.



Seriously, if someone is attacking you and you're not cornered, run away.

"But you're not a man if you don't stand and fight."
He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.

its easy to get some training.. no substitute for real hands on experience... some things can not be learned from YouTube

Whatever you can do without instruction, you will be better able to do it with instruction and practice. What exactly do you mean by self-defense; unarmed combat, martial arts weapons, modern weapons, firearms, etc.? What would you be defending yourself from?

Learn to be a master of awareness and avoidance.

The best defense is not getting into trouble in the first place.

Aggression only comes into play when awareness and avoidance weren't enough.

The best weapon you'll ever have is right between your ears. Educate your self, practice what you learn.

If you follow the local papers, word-of-mouth, etc. self-defense seminars (usually 2 - 4) hours are held regularly, usually advertised, and are typically free of charge. There was one in Highland, IN. less than a month ago sponsored by the HPD and the local Masonic Lodge. Everyone who wanted to come was invited, free of charge.

Ask around, call some martial arts schools, the local PD, etc.

If you want assistance and are willing to work at it at home, you'll find tons of fellow citizens, civic groups, and LEO agencies to help keep you from being a victim.

Just practice a little kick so if you have to, kick the balls would be a useful skill.

I have two daughters living in Colorado. It is what a Colorado State Senator says is all that is needed. It was kind of a flippant response to the OP's question.

In reality, somebody unprepared by training or experience for mortal combat won't have a clue about what is going down and will be down and out before they can mount a defense. Very much like green fighter pilots.

Anybody who has experienced mortal combat will agree.
