I wanted to put this article in this section because I believe that self defense training can be as good or better for you then normal exercise.
It also can be inexpensive since you don't really need a personal trainer but a simple video.
The trend is moving towards better defense products like stun guns and pepper spray.
These are great if you have the time and presence of mind to use them.
Lets face it, if you are attacked will you be looking for your personal protection weapon? Many people will freeze with fear and that is what the criminal is depending on.
After your initial shock wears off a stun gun would be great to have.
Some people are saying that there useless because the attacker will take them away from you.
This is very unlikely once they get a full dose and are laying on the ground drooling.
But again the problem is having the chance to use them.
If you already have some knowledge in the area of martial arts then I'm sure you will agree that not only can it save your life but the training is a great workout.
There are videos available that will show you some simple moves and exercises you can do that will help you in case of attack.
Not only is the physical training good for you but an attacker will not be prepared for what you can do to them.
There have been more laws passed to restrict the use of non-lethal weapons which is unbelievable.
The reason for these laws, as stated by the politicians is that the bad guys are using them on their victims.
So the attacker is breaking the law by attacking you in the first place does anyone really think he cares if his stun gun is legal or not? I guess I've drifted off point but one thing that our politicians can't ever take from us and that is our own ability to fight.
So next time you go to the gym or start your workout think about trying some fight training.
And when you go out for a morning jog let someone come after you and show them what you've learned!
