Know self defense and ensure your safety

Something dramatic happened to a friend of mine yesterday and I thought I share it with you. She was returning home after having dinner with friends (myself included) and she was attacked by a robber just 2 blocks from her place. Apparently, this thug was after her money; he threatened her with a small knife.

Luckily, she has martial arts training and when she realized that her attacker was under the influence of some substance and barely capable of even holding the knife straight, she used a couple of moves to take the knife away and hurt him just enough so that she could escape; needless to say, this is the story she told us the next day.

My friend was very fortunate that she had spent considerable effort to learn self defense. Others are not as fortunate. If you believe that you might find yourself in such a situation, not matter how low the odds may be, consider taking a few self defense classes. If you don’t have time for a class, then purchase and always carry with you one of many self defense products such as a pepper gun or a stun gun.

Better yet, make sure that you are always with someone else if you have to walk home at night and when in doubt it is always best to give the thief your money than risk your life.
