Self-Defense 1:
Get fit and stay fit.
If you are notphysically fit, then
the only way you can defend
yourself during an attack will
be with the help of outside
implements, tools or weapons.
If you don’t have any of these
things with you when you are
attacked, you will essentially be
helpless.
And even if you do have a
weapon or tool on hand, you
will not be strong enough to
wield it with deadly force.
Maintaining a strict regiment
of personal health and fitness
will keep your mind sharp and
your body strong, giving you
that essential extra advantage
to defend yourself from an
attacker.

Self-Defense 2: Use your fear as a force to
be reckoned with.
Even if you are too busy defending yourself to feel consciously afraid
during an attack, have no doubt that you will be afraid. Your ancient
limbic brain survival system will ensure it. Fear is actually your best
friend in an attack. Fear releases massive amounts of adrenaline that
can either paralyze you or empower you.
Fear can also serve as an early warning signal of impending attack.
Your fear instinct is as old as the first living beings on Earth. It uses all
of your senses - sight, sound, touch, smell, taste - to detect any hint
of danger. Then it readies your body for what is coming. So when you
feel fear, or even if you only feel that surge of adrenaline, harness it
and use it to increase your self defense power.
This sounds like an investment that could result in significant waste, I
get it. But clean drinking water is imperative. So if you don’t want to
let it go to waste, have a water purifying party every year and enjoy
your iodine tablets before they become ineffective. It could be fun!

Self-Defense Tip 3:
Use your available energy wisely.
Unless you are a championship bodybuilder or weight
lifter, there is a good chance a potential attacker may be
physically stronger than you are. But this doesn’t mean
you can’t prevail over an attacker.
What you do will determine who wins the struggle. Don’t
erode your available strength and energy by screaming,
punching, evading or running. Instead, stand your ground
and focus on making each movement count.
Cause injury by any means necessary. Knowwhich body
parts are most vulnerable(eyes, groin, kidneys, nose,
Adam’s apple, shin, instep, solar plexus, knee, nose, jaw,
sternum) and go right for them with the intent to strike
with maximum force.

Self-Defense Tip 4:
You need to be confident to
repel an attacker. While any self
defense techniques you learn,
whether in a class or on your
own, will be helpful if you are
attacked, it isyour confidence
levelthat will matter most.
In fact, the more confident you
are and the more you display
that confidence, the less likely
you will be to be targeted for
attack. This is where the benefit
of a self defense class comes
in - you will be in a group with
other women who want to take
back their power and stand up
to potential attackers. You will
draw confidence from each
other and take inspiration from
each other that you will carry
with you from then on.

Self-Defense Tip 5:
Start with prevention.
Building on Tip 4 here, a display of confidence
can go a long way to deflecting a potential
attacker from honing in on you as a potential
victim. But there are other preventative
techniques that can also discourage a would-
be attacker.
Of course, in a survivalist setting, all bets
are off as far as being able to follow some
common tips (“stay in a well-lit area” is a
useless tip if all the power has gone out!).
But there are other tips that you can use that
will still be valid forpreventing a potential
attack:
- Don’t go off by yourself.
- Stand straight and tall and walk with
purpose.
- Do not look down or rustle around in your
bag.
- Have your keys (or weapon, or stick, or your
cologne spray, et al) in hand and visible.
- Be aware of and avoid known dangerous
areas.

8. Self-Defense Tip 6:
Never get any closer to your attacker than
you have to.
No matter how you and your potential attacker are
positioned, your goal will always be to do the most damage
from maximum distance. This will require some lightning-
quick assessment, but you can do it.
Find the vulnerable body part that is already closest to you
and do your worst to that body part. Don’t move closer just
to reach a body part you think is more vulnerable, because
that will then make you more vulnerable in turn.

Self-Defense Tip 7:
Use your strongest areas to target your
attacker’s weakest areas.
Even though areas like major joints (elbow, knee) are easily injured
when attacked, they are also two of your most effective weapons
for attack.
Add to these the skull (there is a reason people can play soccer
for years and still manage to function in day-to-day life) and
you already have a fearsome arsenal of weapons you can use
to send your attacker running for cover. Also, don’t forget about
leveraging your own body’s weight as a weapon.

10. Self-Defense Tip 7:
Trust your Instinct.
Too many women are injured in attacks because they give in to
fear, self-doubt or hopelessness. In the moment of the attack,
these victims forget they have been programmed to survive.
Homo sapiens has been on this planet for well over 200,000
years.
So if you’ve gotten this far, that means there is something pretty
powerful in your own genetic makeup that has qualified you to
keep passing along your DNA. You represent Darwin’s “survival
of the fittest,” and you do have what it takes to defend yourself
successfully during an attack. You just have to remember this and
trust your inner survivalist’s instincts to do what comes naturally,
drawing on all of your survivalist skills and training to prevail over
your attacker.
