There are many tips and tricks you can learn when it comes to self defense. You should learn as much as you can so that when you are approached by an attacker you have what it takes to fight off the person. You can learn through local self defense instructors or you can even purchase DVDs and videos for training on your own. These are effective methods that will teach you the basics of fighting off an attacker in different circumstances. Once you learn the techniques you should practice them on a regular basis. This will ensure you are good at them and you will be more prepared to use them when you need to.

When you are considering personal protection it is important to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Many people who are coming out of the grocery store and mugged are the ones that don't pay attention to what is going on around them. Look around for people following you, standing around by your car, and that just don't look right. Don't hitchhike because you don't know the drivers of the vehicles. Also, avoid places that the crime rate is bad or if they look sketchy. Don't look like an easy target for the criminals. Hold your head up high and be confident and pay attention to the things going on around you.

When you are finally forced to put your self defense techniques into action you must do so. Don't be afraid to scream as loud as you can, kick, bite, and do everything. You must get away because it may be the last hour of your life if you do not. If the person has a gun and they tell you that they are going to shoot you if you scream, but to come with them, they will most likely harm you when you get to where he takes you. Make as much noise as possible and you become the aggressor. Show the person you are not afraid of them. When most criminals find the person is not afraid of them they will not commit the crime.

Use personal protection devices for self defense such as a Taser, Stun Gun or pepper spray. You should purchase them and carry them on your person. Do not put them deep into the depths of your handbag or your briefcase and have no idea where the pepper spray is or how to use it. Know exactly how to use things like pepper spray, stun guns and Tasers. Also, at night it is okay to have these devices in your hand while you walk down the street. Be prepared to use them. It could save your life.

There are many things that you can do to practice personal protection and be prepared to use self defense. If you come upon a situation where you need to use them you will be prepared and ready to defend yourself if you practice the techniques and become good, fight the attacker back, use personal protection devices, and more.
