Defend yourself

This one is for the ladies(mostly). I'm not trying to freak you out or scare you in any way. I am however trying promote safety mainly yours. I can't begin to tell you how many female friends I have that have been assaulted physically and/or mentally at some point in their lives. I have heard many horror stories as i'm sure you have as well. From kidnappings to random beatings i have heard them all and even had to jump in and stop a few. Its time to educate yourselves in self defense. In many cities across this country self defense for women is offered by different organizations, Police departments to local gyms. They teach awareness as well as what to do if ever attacked. Its not right what people do to others sometimes but you have the power to combat that, so use it. It gives you confidence to know you're prepared and generally speaking when you walk with confidence you will often be left alone. Bad guys want to attack people that won't fight back and if you look aware and confident you don't look like an easy target. Until you can make it to a class try to follow some simple rules -

- Always be aware of your surroundings
- Don't walk alone at night if at all possible
- Let a friend know where you are
- Keep your mace in your hand when walking by yourself
- Know how your panic button works on your keychain
- Walk with confidence not with your head down
- Walk with your keys between your fingers in a tight balled up fist just in case you gotta let a
punch fly

If someone approaches you and all else fails do the one thing we all know how to do SCREAM!!
