In the world today, there are many ways for women to protect themselves. Whether you are at home or on the go, safety tools and knowledge can help you avoid risky encounters and address potentially dangerous situations. Even those without special training can use these tools. But intuition and awareness are the best tools for self defense.
Jeet Kun Do
A martial art such as Jeet Kune Do is a great choice for a woman's self defense training. It teaches defensive tactics like parrying and blocking attacks. This training eliminates wasted movement and is intensive.
Krav Maga
Krav Maga, a form of self-defense for women, is one of the best. This style of martial arts teaches a systematic method for teaching self defense. This style emphasizes safety and avoidance rather than dominance and size. A woman who learns Krav Maga will have an advantage when it comes to surviving in dangerous situations.
Boxing
Boxing is a great tool to teach yourself how to protect yourself in dangerous situations. Boxing training can help women defend themselves by teaching them how to dodge and use strikes. Women with a strong core can take on an attacker and stop him from his tracks. Training in Boxing also helps women to build their stamina, which is important in an unpredictable world.
Pepper spray
Pepper spray is one of most effective self-defense tools for women. It can act as a deterrent agent and prevent an assailant form committing rape. It will not stop an attacker from doing these acts but it will give you the opportunity to flee or run. However, pepper spray can be used to protect your mental and physical health. While pepper spray can temporarily disable an attacker, it can also contaminate your clothing or hair.
BBguarder
The BBguarder alarm is a great tool for women who are on the go. It can notify emergency contacts as well as letting you know whether you are being watched. You can send an email or SMS alert. The app allows you up to 3 emergency contacts.
Shotokan
Shotokan karate is a karate that teaches women natural moves to defend themselves. One such movement is the hip action. Women naturally use their hips to protect themselves, whereas men naturally use their arms and shoulders to protect themselves. A good Shotokan karate class will teach women to use the hips to their full advantage.
