Modern world is full of dangers: busy roads, roaming rivers, shark attacks, lightning and electicity strikes and so on. But there is still another danger – the man itself. Homo homini lupus est, or in other words – we all live in a dog-eat-dog world where you can be robbed, raped and killed if you don’t take precautions and don’t learn how to defend yourself.

If you care about your safety and the safety of your family and friends, then you can learn some self defense tricks from different martial arts. Taking up a course can be very helpful in dangerous situations; moreover, it’s a very efficient way of spending your free time, a sort of a hobby that you can enjoy and share with other people.

Below you may see some examples of self-defense. But let’s hope that you’ll never need to put these tips to practice.







But taking up martial arts is not the only solution. If you happen to get in a dangerous situation by bad luck then you should remember that action is important. Don’t mull over what to do – do something right away. Bad guys usually count on your unawareness and confusion; they don’t expect you to put up resistance. Don’t let them scare you. Avoid ‘bad’ places: dark streets, unknown houses and wasteland areas. It might be helpful to take some means of defense with you, if you’re going somewhere alone and in the evening. A usual penknife may save your life. But don’t try to fight if you managed to get away – use the bad guy’s confusion and simply run to the safe place. Always check behind your back if you’re in a dangerous place and avoid listening to a music player – it’s not worth loosing you money or life. Take care.
