Self Defense Tips For Women And Seniors

It is absolutely no secret that women are the targets of violence 9 out of ten times

. In some countries it is even worse. They are considered easy prey by the bad guys for assaults, robberies, rape, home invasions and more.

Seniors are rapidly becoming a target of choice for the bad guys too. They represent the fastest growing segment of our population, Due to advances in medicine they are living longer and are much more active. They are soft targets because they are usually less mobile and more vulnerable.

4.Learn some striking points. If you get into a stranglehold fight with and an assailant learn where to hit him with the most effect. Every one has pressure points or areas of vulnerability. Skull bones at the temple for example are weak and are relatively easy to crack. The nose and eyes are always a good choices. A blow across the nose could break it and an eye gouge is still one of the easiest ways to break away from an assailant.

5.Be aware-Walk with a sense of self confidence and awareness of your surroundings. The bad guys watch for seniors and women who are distracted.

6.Carry some self defense products. Stun guns, pepper sprays, personal alarms and tasers are meant to give you time to get away from a dangerous situation and seek help. They all do that in indoor or outdoor assaults.
