How To Learn Self-Defense The Easy Way
Self-Defense Basics
Summary
There is an easy system that will give you a good foundation on which to build. Knowing how to defend against an attack is an essential aspect of self-defense, especially in the early days of learning. This book will supply those requirements and some general concepts that you will be able to apply in a variety of situations. You may want to take further training as well.
The Basics
Get a game plan, escape should be your first goal but if somehow that has failed then your next choice should be escaped. Avoidance is a great deal commanded by your awareness which can be enhanced by increasing your self-defense knowledge through reading and research.
If running or getting away is not an option, your next option is to escape. If it calls for a physical fight, you should make the encounter as brief as possible. The longer this goes on, the more likely the odds are against you.
When you're learning, don't rush and cover the following techniques. Take your time and let the concept sink in.
It is a combination of different concepts; It is much easier to learn a few concepts than to learn a separate technique to counter each different type of attack.
We've taken some very basic concepts which are used to produce a series of breakaways mixed with some elementary hitting and placing. Plus they'll give you a good feel for some of the basics of self-defense.
Right now you may well live in a place where you feel it is safe and unnecessary for this kind of book but will it be like this forever? Is the field expanding with new people bringing different ideas and values with them? Would you leave that area to travel for work or for fun? Just learning some new ideas can be really useful. Open your mind and look at the situation from a wider perspective, there is no harm in being prepared for the unexpected.
These techniques use gross motor skills (basic body movements) so they are really easy to learn and implement. Techniques or concepts need to be simple to be effective under pressure.
These are imperative factors as the technique needs to be simple enough to perform under pressure. Rehearse these techniques with acquaintances and loved ones. The more you rehearse, the more grounded you'll feel.
Similarly, practice your newly learned skills in different places, be it the kitchen, bath, front room, or garage. If you spend most of your time in small rooms or spaces, don't limit your practice to the large open space of the gym. You have to practice in the environment that applies to you.
As part of your awareness, it helps to recognize who the enemy is and learn to differentiate their movements, even the rituals that are common to certain types of attackers. Women are more likely to come across other kinds of aggressors than men. Women in general are more likely to take men as robbers or rapists as opposed to men.
If we understand the enemy, we have a much better chance of getting the better of them. A lot of deception comes with these people and usually the more significant the crime the more extensive the show. Not all attackers will fit that stereotype associated with "the bad guy," and often you may not even have to look beyond your loved ones. We hear stories of domestic violence every day.
Try not to get stuck in your own little bubble and be aware that there are people outside your domain. Whether we like it or not, there are people whose goals are not always beneficial. Maybe you will never meet people like this but then maybe you will have or maybe you already have. It can happen in the office, at home, on the street, in a bar, or even on the street, it can happen really anywhere. Don't stop, vultures seek these types of people.
Bad things happen to great people sometimes and don't think it can't happen to you because it can. I'm not saying for sure it will happen but it could. We hear about the happenings day in and day out and are only too aware that this is an epic move.

Martial Arts
While martial arts have been used for many centuries, they really became famous during the time of Bruce Lee. Bruce created a style of Jeet Kune Do, which combines really fast strikes with surprising counterdefenses. Once people started seeing how fast Bruce Lee could move, they began to look into martial arts and see how it could benefit them.
Martial arts are divided into specific styles. The genre depends on where and what you read. Many cultures and countries offer martial arts that they originated, developed, and honed. Brazil offers Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, Japan has Karate, Thailand has Muay Thai, France has Savate, and China has Shaolin. Keep in mind that each style will differ in strategies and what it has to offer you.
While many consider martial arts to be for self-defense purposes only, this is not always the case. Martial arts are also used in tournaments and competitions, which may include boxing, floor routines, and even block and brick-breaking demos. All over the world, there are competitions and chances for champions to prove themselves and their knowledge.
Overall, all martial arts will teach you how to defend yourself and - most notably - help you gain self-control. Once you start studying martial art, you will rapidly begin to develop a better state of mind. No matter what style of martial arts you study, the teacher will instill self-order in your mind.
For those of you who have a bad temper or just need to learn self-control, studying martial arts can be really beneficial. Not only will you learn self-command, but you'll also learn how to defend yourself in the most difficult situations. Self-command is really important because martial arts can be very deadly if they are taught to the wrong person - with the wrong intentions.
Over the past decade, there have been several mainstream competitions that showcase martial arts, such as Extreme Fighting, King of the Cage, and most popularly, UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). UFC has come a long way over the years, garnering interest from all over the world. It brings together stylists from all over the world to test their skills and find out who is the better fighter.
With UFC, many people have misconceptions about martial arts. While martial art is good to learn, if it works in the UFC, that doesn't mean it will protect you on the streets. For example, karate teaches blocking and striking, with little or no attention to grappling strategies. If you get close, karate doesn't really help. With some distance, karate can be really destructive.
No matter how you look at it, martial arts can be great to learn if you do it for the right reasons. Each style will differ in strategy and what it has to offer you, which is why you should choose the style that best suits your needs and what you want to accomplish. Martial arts can teach you a lot about self-defense and yourself - you just have to try it.
Go Away
Summary
Self-defense isn't just about learning a few techniques; It's all about the things we do every day to make our lives better. Most of it is common sense and the rest of it adds up. There are some things you just do without thinking whether it's wearing a seatbelt, crossing the street, or using a knife safely. Once upon a time, people had to be forced to wear seat belts in the car, nowadays people sit in the car and reach without thinking about anything. This goes to show that when you do something over and over again it becomes a habit, then it becomes second nature.
Getaway
Staring at the ground, hunched shoulders, hiding hands in your pockets, and making yourself small gives the message- "I am weak and vulnerable". Women are classified as easy targets, so having firm body language reduces the risk of being fair game.
Make eye contact with people in a way that lets them know you've seen them (willful criminals are much less likely to do anything if they think they might be named). Swing your arms as you walk, soaking up the space. Firm body language is not only related to how others see you but it also boosts your own confidence.
Equate enemies on the roads to enemies in the woods, they're not looking for the biggest, boldest, most non-attacking animal, however weak, injured, or isolated. Try not to put yourself in a position where it will intensify your vulnerability. Predators do not want a fight but a simple kill and the predator will often abort when the target fights fiercely.
Asserting yourself is an essential part of taking control of your life. If someone's behavior is making you feel bad, uncomfortable, or scared, confront that person. Tell them - pick apart the behavior, criticize it, tell them what you want them to do: - "You're constantly touching me, I don't like it, leave it" - repeat if necessary. This is a direct, non-flashy way of establishing what you want; Avoid saying please when you are asserting yourself. If someone is harassing you in a public place, go ballistic, it will be much more lethal for that person than for you. Your speaking is also a weapon.
Yelling will alert others in the vicinity and may startle an attacker. It may also help to turn your fear into aggression—shout "no" louder and deeper from your belly. Trust your instincts, if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Say someone unpleasant is following you - trust your instincts and do something whether it's confronting them, getting security, calling someone, or getting a weapon set.
Get a cellular phone, it's not that expensive if it's only for emergencies, not only can you summon help from everywhere but you can also use it as a weapon.
Use your voice once the forced encounter has started. Yelling out loud when you strike serves several purposes. First, you can startle the assailant with a sudden loud scream, you're also drawing attention to yourself so someone can come to your aid, and you can present witnesses who are comfortable with causing physical harm to your assailant. Can
In self-defense, it can come to a point where it's just your word against theirs, however, if a passerby heard you yell "let it go, let it go" suddenly becomes evidence. Yelling also stretches your abdominal area, so it's much less likely to make you breathless if you get hit at the same time.
It makes sense that the closer you are to your attacker, the less time you have to respond to their movements. Then obviously, the greater the distance, the longer it takes you to react.
Maintain a good distance, a distance that you are comfortable with, and give you time to react. If possible, stand with a barrier between you and the other person as well.
From an action-reaction point of view, the attacker always has the upper hand because he knows he is going to attack but your brain has to understand what he is doing and then decide what you are going to do as a reaction and then send signals to the muscle tissue to make them move as needed.
A Look At Kung Fu
Summary
The martial art of kung fu is an exchange of culture, a form of exercise, and also a way of self-defense. The art is really popular all over the world, similarly known as Gung Fu, Wu Shu, and even Kuo Shu. It shares some common traits with Karate, such as using both hand and foot strategies. Kung fu is one of the most popular forms of martial arts - and it is also one of the oldest.

A Style
Within kung fu, there are many styles and variations, although the most popular are those that have their roots in the long-known Shaolin Temple. However, most residents are not aware that kung fu was practiced in China long before the first Shaolin Temple was thought to exist.
A vast majority of martial arts enthusiasts consider self-defense to be the ultimate goal of any martial art, including kung fu. While self-defense is included with kung fu, martial is much more than fighting and defense—it is a true art form that develops the mind, body, and spirit.
Kung Fu doesn't teach students to beat others, as much as it teaches students to look inside themselves and learn to have complete and utter control over their emotions.
Kung fu is an art of harmony, which teaches students to live peacefully and avoid confrontation. If a situation threatens physical harm to the disciple, he must rise to the occasion – becoming a warrior and defending himself.
Like other forms of martial arts, Kung fu teaches the balance that is essential to executing strategies and proper movement. The basic concept behind balance is the same balance that the Chinese think holds the balance between the heavens - 19 -
and the earth. This creation of balance can be accomplished by the students if they concentrate their thoughts completely and empty their minds free from distractions of any kind.
Kung fu is a martial art that anyone can learn. Like any other martial art, it requires a strong will. It has a strong heritage and proud heritage. Kung Fu is indeed a deadly martial art if used in the wrong way. There are also versions of Kung Fu that involve the infamous 5 animals – Tiger, Dragon, Eagle Claw, Crane, and Snake.
Adapted by the animals they are named after, the styles of the 5 animals are among the most influential in martial arts. Tiger Claw is the deadliest of the five animals, which teaches the students to strike like a ferocious tiger.
This style teaches the disciple strength in his hands so that when he strikes, he tears through the flesh. Tiger Claw is indeed lethal, although it is very difficult to find teachers who teach this style nowadays.
Unlike other martial arts, there is really no competition for kung fu. Stylists may compete in it in other competitions, although there aren't really any that are just for kung fu. It is an ancient martial art that should only be used in cases where there is no other option but to fight back. When provoked, the stylist should make every effort to avoid confrontation.
Kung fu aims to teach the lessons of respect, fairness to others, the harmony of spirit, and total self-control no matter what. These characteristics, when combined together, allow students to achieve success in difficult situations for society to deal with.
Kung fu is about developing the student's overall well-being - and mental and physical stamina to tread a straight path.

Summary
Self-preservation initiative.
Basic Techniques
Interview Pose
Stand in a comfortable position in readiness before any physical approach begins; Feet shoulder-width apart, arms open approximately at chest level and elbows bent inward.
Keep an eye on your attacker, at roughly chest level where you can see movement from both their arms and legs. Try to keep at least 6 feet of space. The closer you let them get, the less reaction time you have. You are now in a safe position, aware and ready to protect yourself. With your elbows bent to protect your body and your hands close to your head, you must move them to protect your face.
Defensive Position
Take your dominant side, same shoulder, and leg back. If you're right-handed, your right side is backward, allowing you to generate more power with your dominant arm or leg when you strike.
Stepping further apart than forward in this situation also creates a little extra distance between you and the attacker again, giving you more time to react. tuck your chin; Keep hands high to protect your face and hold elbows to protect your ribs. This pose will feel uncomfortable so practice it enough until you are comfortable. Your feet should be staggered to provide additional stability by widening your base and your knees should be bent enough to further aid stability and balance. This defensive stance provides good security and balance. This lets you move quickly into position to strike.

anything goes! Hits can be used in many different ways, so practice using different instruments to get the basics right.

- Waist
- Eyes
- Neck
- Solar plexus
- Knee
- Step
Everyone has these falling points, regardless of size. Follow the steps to increase the power of your strike. Screaming with each strike not only startles an attacker, but it also alerts anyone around you and likewise helps you to turn fear into aggression.
For practice, look for potential targets when you're talking to people or even just watching someone. Consider the combination strikes you can use for each goal you have in mind.
The most important thing for striking is to use whatever you have.
The eyes, nose, throat, abdominal area, groin, legs, and calves serve as a great starting point for targeting; They're all really easy, effective spots that can be easily reached with a variety of hits. While the groin area can be really effective, don't focus solely on the waist as a target. Men have a tendency to respond very quickly to attacks made on the groin, so save this area as a target for really close attackers.
Hits are improved in several ways:
Brace the target area by having the person against a wall or floor or even target yourself by holding onto a person or limb while striking.
Don't just aim at the target area move about 6 inches beyond it.
Don't withdraw your strike too quickly. Your strikes are kept in contact for one count, allowing for the best transfer of a level of power. Similarly hitting with a larger surface provides better carry-over of power.
Hit the same target multiple times.
Avoid getting punches to the head if possible. It is so easy to break knuckles and fingers because the head is so hard. Puncture wounds from teeth to knuckles put one at risk of getting a nasty infection or even transmitting HIV or hepatitis. You are only able to hit hard with the palm of your hand and there is little risk of harming yourself.
When working with these tender areas, pressure points, or motor nerve points, full permanent damage can occur on strike and even a 5% hit can have an effect on people, sometimes even delaying the reaction before it occurs. Because of this, we are really cautious. Hitting these areas can have the effect of shutting down that organ and can even cause unconsciousness.
Be aware that a strike to the throat can cause permanent damage to the throat and even death, so it should be addressed really carefully in training and only used in a true self-defense situation. The same caution is necessary for an injury to the eye, you must treat it with the utmost care in training and only use firm blows in a real self-defense situation.
Choosing a Style to Study
Summary
For anyone who wants to learn martial arts, there is a lot to learn about the many mixed styles. Naturally, there is the question of finding the best martial arts, which is a question many people ask. With so many martial arts styles to choose from, choosing one to learn can be very complicated.
Selection Of
Regardless of what you hear or what others have to say, it is really impossible to name one style of martial arts as the primary best. In reality, there are so many factors that come into play that it makes a statement about a style impossible at best. Even though one style may beat another in a competition or fight, it does not always mean that the winning style is the best.
Before you decide to go out there and learn martial arts, there are several things that you should decide first.
All over the world, there are many martial arts schools and dojos that place a greater emphasis on self-defense than others. Schools that focus on kata, form, or light fighting are less than likely to teach you what you need to defend yourself on the street. If you're looking for street self-defense, you'll need a fighting style that's hard-hitting and doesn't give up.
Even though martial arts can improve your fitness level, this is not the ambition behind many martial arts styles. Many styles, such as Tae Bo, are purely martial arts based and do not involve much physical fitness training. If you're looking for fitness as your main goal, you should look to something other than martial arts.
Fighting abilities will vary among the many mixed martial arts styles. Self-defense schools take advantage of fighting skills many times over, teaching you everything you need to survive. Many martial arts styles are theoretically slow, teaching you kata, speed, and form. Self-defense schools, on the other hand, teach you how to inflict significant amounts of damage in the least amount of time.
ComCompetition-basidial arts are all about getting trophies and showing your style of martial arts to the world. The competition you choose will greatly affect your style of martial arts. You have to decide whether you will be fighting or showing a display of kata, light or heavy contact, or focusing on grappling or striking.
Before you decide on a martial arts style, you should always research schools and dojos in your area and see what they offer. The best schools will let you take some free classes, or give you a discount for your first few months. They'll answer any questions you have, and work with you to help you learn as much as possible.
Wrapping Up
Be aware of what is going on around you - while walking down the street, are you aware that you are being followed? When out running or walking you are alone and wearing earphones, they will actually reduce your awareness.
When exiting, watch for oncoming traffic. Keep your hands out of your pockets so they're ready to use if you get caught. walk with confidence; Look like you understand what you're doing and where you're going, even if you don't. Keep the head and eyes upwards.
Have you ever noticed a vehicle you are driving or someone sitting outside your workplace or school? Adults do not need to ask children for help. There is safety in numbers. Do not walk in dark lanes/areas to take shortcuts. Always let people know where you are and what time you project to be there. Trust your instincts, if you notice something unusual happening, avoid it and tell someone.
If you run or walk alone, don't wear headphones. Do not answer the questions of unknown people on the phone, inform them that you are alone. Make eye contact with people in a way that they know you've seen them (a potential bully doesn't want to be described so is less likely to strike. Yelling works because someone can come to your aid if nothing else; at least you're drawing attention to yourself.
Don't hitchhike. Be careful while using the ATM at night. If you wear a handbag with a strap be prepared to have it snatched, you could get hurt if you get pulled with it.
If a stranger stops you to ask for directions, keep a safe distance from them. If you're going to drop someone off at their home, make sure they're safe inside before you drive off. If you are alone and you witness an accident or a stranded motorist, report it using your mobile phone or the nearest telephone.
See to it that you practice at home with your loved ones or friends, attend classes, search for more information, and don't disregard the verbal or psychological aspects. Prepare the faith that you have and you are ready to defend yourself. Be in control of yourself instead of leaving your fate in the hands of some ruthless bully.
