LEARN TO FIGHT BACK LIKE A KOSHO-RYU LADY
BAD GUY WATCH OUT
When looking at the increasing number of reports about violence against women in San Diego and nationwide, it is clear that women’s self-defense is becoming an important issue in today’s society. There are many products and techniques designed for women’s self-defense against an attacker, from mace guns to judo and assertiveness training. These things are becoming increasingly necessary, and it is essential to stay informed of the most effective strategies.
Since more and more women are working overtime and at late hours, extra attention should be given to self-defense. Dark underground parking lots are among the most dangerous places, and it is a good idea to walk into a parking lot with a special self-defense weapon, such as a kubotan, alarm, whistle, or light, or where it is legal, a mace gun or stun gun. The mace or stun guns should not be shaped like actual guns but should be disguised as cell phones, pens, or key chains that can be carried by hand without attracting undue attention.
If you walk or jog for exercise, it is, therefore a good idea to change your route frequently. Be on the lookout for people who are watching your activities and make sure that you are aware of potential dangers. Like fire drills, women’s self-defense calls for identifying potential danger spots, so, as you go through your day, look for those places where a person can easily intrude.
The most important principle to remember for effective women’s self-defense against anyone is confidence! If a woman looks and seems confident and aware, a potential attacker is less likely to approach her, because he knows he will be unlikely to succeed. Also, if she feels competent, she is far more likely to defend herself well and prevent an attack.
Many strategies for self-defense include some martial arts training. Many critics complain that techniques learned in classes cannot be adapted well to the street. Martial arts give women strength and confidence to be able to ward off attackers.
It is a vital principle to always look around at your surroundings to appear alert. Potential attackers are always on the lookout for women who seem unaware of their surroundings, so give an impression of confidence.
In my opinion, Kosho-Ryu is close to the perfect martial art, because it incorporates the fast hands and powerful kicks of Kenpo and Jujitsu, so the Kosho-Ryu practitioner is highly effective standing or fighting on the ground.
There are many varieties of martial arts to choose from, and I teach Kosho-Ryu and Kajukenbo which are highly useful for street self-defense for woman in San Diego due to the strikes are focused on immobilizing the attacker that all ages can learn.
Defense against men is not always focused on strangers, but, more often than not, an attacker is someone the woman knows. Before making the attack, the person usually stalks the woman to find out her habits and where she is the most vulnerable.
Before opening your car door, always inspect the inside to ensure that no one is there. Make sure your car door is always locked, and, if you unlock your car door with remote control, avoid locking and unlocking the door too far in advance of your entry.
