Self Defense Tip of the Day

Awareness Protects You: Your first line of defence.

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.
