We always say in Karate, the best way not to get hit is not to be there. In other words, pay attention and move out of the way. That is a key to effective day to day self defense: be aware of your surroundings and don't go to dangerous areas.
Awareness of your surroundings is essential. Women have a gut instinct that can send alarm bells. These alarm bells should garner the utmost attention. If a situation gives you a bad gut feeling, get out of there. If someone makes you uncomfortable, get away from that person and get to a safe area. Who cares if you are wrong and nothing would have happended? Better to be alive and feel a bit foolish than to ignore your gut feeling and end up dead.
If a woman or child is abducted and taken to a second location, there is less than a 20% chance of surviving the abduction. All women and children need to know some form of self defense.
Call Guerrero's Shotokan and arrange a time to come in and take a free class. Karate is great for self defense. All the techniques learned in our Katas can be used to defend yourself.
