Introduction :-
A wonderful creation of god is human. His body is beautiful. This beauty is repeatedly hit. God does not come to protect us from it. He has given us intelligency, hands,feet. So we have to protect ourselves. It is the duty of man to defend himself.
When we are young, our parents and family members protected us. But we have grown up, we have to protect us ourselves from our own.
Self defense has become a major priority for women in India, to safeguard themselves agnaist harassment and a number of other violations.
National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has reported around 25,706 rape cases in the last year. A primary reason behind the increasing violence against women could be that most of the men feel that a woman couldn’t or wouldn’t fight with a guy in case of a threat. Thus the increasing violence against women is directly associated to the lack of physical strength and the propounded term “Weaker sex”. In fact, woman often consider themselves to be physically weaker than men especially in strength.
Self defense has thus become the need of the hour for women. Experts claim that with the right technique and right timing the victim is likely to have a 90% chance to getting out of the situation.
Conscious mind :-
Our awarness is a major weapon of our seld defense. For this we have to make the sixth sence aware. With this we can identify – who is our friend and who is enemy.
Things to keep in mind :-
Always be alert while outside :-
Attackers tend to target victims who appear to weak, timid an unaware of their surroundings.
When you are attacked, don’t just cry :- Try to talk with the attacker to distract him in all the possible ways like, fake gestures at an initial stage could make the attacker assume that he has overpowered you. This will make him carefree. You can then strike back instantly.
Try to identify what the attacker wants from you :-
If he only intends to rob you, you may initially try to communicate but if his intention is to hurt you physically then you must strike back with as much strength as you could gather.
Don’t alert him saying that you have a self defense tool or skill :- This can alert him and this may not give you a chance to attack him. Selfdefense techniques serve the best way can astonish the attacker.
Some selfdefense techniques :-
Know the basic target points :- Always remember the primary and secondary target points.
Hit first :- If you let the attacker to hit you first, you’d have to first recover from the hit and then regain strength in the fight. This would worsen the situation. Hitting first will force the attacker to rather defend himself, which is something he is not used to.
Use your elbows :- Elbows are the strongest points in your body. An elbow strike can deliver substantial damage to the head, nose, chin and back. So, try to strike with your elbows when you re close enough to use it.
Close the distance :- Closing the distance can help you in defending. You can t get hurt if you are too close to the attacker to strike. The more distance you allow between yourself and the attacker, the more range of motion is available to the attacker.
Try to always carry a ball point pen in your purse :- You can use the pen s tip to damage the attacker s arms so as to loosen his grip and then attack the primary and secondary targets.
Use everyday objects :- Look for the everyday objects which could be used as weapons, like umbrella, tree branches, stones and other readily available objects.
Keep your hands up :- You can block strikes or lessen the damage by most of all strikes by keeping your hands up.
If you get attacked in your home, run for the kitchen :- Kitchen objects like the knives and spices could potentially be turned into weapons of defense. If that fails, you can simply start throwing utensils to create a noise for alerting neighbours.
Mental strength :- To survive in this society, we need to strengthen our body and mind. Because if the body and mind are not in the state of comfort, then the situation will go out of our hand. It is impottant to always be vigilant,so that any situation can be deal with.
Conclussion :- That’s our only life. In order to live this beautiful life, we need to have some awarness. Along with the good, there is evil also. But if we can protect ourselves in the right way, without fear of it, then the whole world will eel beautiful. There is hell and heaven on the earth. In order to close the gates of hell, we must practice selfdefense. We have to remember that selfdefense is main principal. When we are in encounter, we have only some seconds and some moves to try. So before the attacker totally overpowers us, we get to try everything we can. We have to do this while saving as much strength as we can, so as to strike an injury to get away. We should therefore aim for the body parts where we can easily do the maximum damage. There are many good in many bad ones. Our life starts with good and we have to end it with good.
It is said, ‘‘All good when the last is good. ’’
