Self Defense Tip of the Day

Public transport:

• Remember, there is usually safety in numbers. Wait in a coffee shop or in a well lit area for the public transport to arrive
• Don’t choose the window seat as you may be “blocked in” by a potential assailant; always choose an aisle seat for quick exit
• After peak hours, always choose the train compartment carrying the most passengers or the compartment directly behind the train driver
• On buses, sit behind the driver or next to the door for quick exit.

Self Defense Tip of the Day

• Use the buddy system. People traveling alone are significantly more likely to be attacked. Attackers will usually wait to get a victim alone before striking. Don’t give him or her a chance- use the buddy system and stay safe.

Prevention Is the Best Self Defense

Always remember that prevention is better than cure. Most attackers, regardless of their objectives are looking for easy & unsuspecting targets. Follow simple tips like observing your surroundings and keeping in well-lit areas. If confrontation is unavoidable, try defusing the situation. Talk the person down, or hand over your valuables like wallets, so as to create the opportunity to escape. DO NOT ever attempt to fight over money; nothing is more valuable than your life.

Self Defense Tip of the Day

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you….  Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

Face the Facts 
The “it-won’t-happen-to-me” mindset would be great, if only it were true. “A lot of us like to pretend nothing is going to happen,” Weed says. “At our core, we don’t really believe it can happen to us.”
That false sense of security is fueled by a society that propagates fear rather than empowerment, says Baty. “When we are in fear, we choose not to deal with it,” she says. “Most women say, ‘this is never going to happen to me’.” But, acknowledging the potential for violence is the first step toward arming yourself to fight it.

You don’t have to use muscle, speed or power to stop an attack

Self Defense Tip of the Day

Walkers / joggers:

• If you have car trouble and are walking to look for help, always walk against the traffic so that you can see what is coming
• If shadowed by a car, run back in the direction from which you came. If you continue in the same direction, you will make it easy for the shadowing to continue
• Be wary of alert passengers
• Don’t use a “walkman” when walking in isolated areas at any time
• Regularly change your routines
• Mark out houses at intervals on each route you take that may be used as “safe houses” in the event of attack such as shops or houses that you know to be occupied by a friend or acquaintance. Try to incorporate these houses every time you vary your route
• Be alert at all times
• Don’t presume that because your area has been “safe” thus far, that it will continue to be so.
