Prevention is
the best Self-Defense
Promoting Health & Wellbeing
First, remember that prevention is the best self-defense. Aggressors, no matter their objectives, are looking for unsuspecting, vulnerable targets. So be sure to follow general safety tips like being aware of your surroundings, only walking and parking in well-lit areas, keeping your keys in hand as you approach your door or car, varying your route and times of travel.
If you’re having a confrontation with an aggressor and you can get away from a situation— by handing over your wallet/purse or whatever they want, do that. Hand over your money rather than fight. Nothing you own is worth more than your life or health.
However, if violence is unavoidable to really defend yourself, you’ll want to know in advance how to fight back effectively—it’s possible even against someone bigger or stronger than you. Here are some basic self-defense techniques that can keep you safe.
​
Get Loud and Push Back
As soon as the attacker approach you or it’s clear that escape isn’t possible, shout loudly (“BACK OFF!”) and push back at them. This causes two things: it calls for help and it lets the attacker know you’re not an easy target. It may not dissuade all aggressors, but getting loud will warn off those that were looking for easy prey.
The most vulnerable body parts to hit
When you’re in a confrontation, you only have a few seconds and a few movements before anything happens. Before an assailant has gained full control of you, you must do everything you can (conserving as much energy as possible) to inflict injury so you can get away. So aim for the parts of the body where you can do the most damage easily: the eyes, nose, ears, neck, groin, knee, and legs.
