Sexual Assault Prevention Tips-Safety Tip Of The Week

click image for more details

Believe it or not there are several things that women can do to be pro active in preventing sexual assaults and possibly rapes. Knowing how an attacker thinks can work to your advantage. Potential victims can learn from these facts and put a plan in place to be better prepared to fend off an assault.

THE LOCATION. The most common place for an assault is a grocery store parking lot. Attackers figure that a victim’ hands and minds are distracted and are easy prey. Knowing this can make you better prepared and more on guard to fend off an attacker.

THE TIME. The most common time for an attack is early morning. Think about it-there are less people around and thus less witnesses. Knowing this can put you on guard if you must be out and about in the early am.

THE LOOK. It is a fact that women with long hair specifically ponytails or braids that can easily be grabbed are more likely targets than women with short hair. It is just a fact! Attackers also look for women wearing loose fitting clothing.

THE FIGHT. It is also a fact that if ANY resistance is in the offing, most attackers move on quickly. They are expecting little or no resistance. When they encounter resistance it takes more time which increase the chances of discovery. So FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.

THE CARRY. How you carry yourself makes an impression. If your head is up and you walk confidently and quickly you are less likely a target than someone with their head down and walking slowly-just a fact.

WHAT YOU CARRY. If you carry a Pepper Spray, taser, or stun gun and know how to use it not only will it give you a better sense of confidence but will also give you time to escape if you need to use it.

Learn from these facts about assaults and develop a plan to protect yourself.

More Self Defense Tips For Women-Safety Tip Of The Week

This is the third in a series of tips for women for their self defense. You can read the others HERE and HERE

Unfortunately women have to go thru life wondering when they might be attacked-NOT IF-WHEN! Because women are attacked by at least a nine to one margin over men.

We are trying to increase awareness about what is a real problem: assaults of any kind on women. Here are some more self defense tips that could save their lives.

REACT QUICKLY. Fact of the matter is that an assault situation demands very quick reaction time. The old expression “he who hesitates is lost” is just about right on target. This is where practicing comes in handy. A reflex reaction vs. “gee where’s my pepper spray?” will save the day and you.

FIGHT BACK! Your life may be at stake. Don’t just sit there fight back with everything you have. And this is not a garden party FIGHT DIRTY. Gouge eyes, kick private parts, scream, whatever you have to do. Most assailants are not expecting a fight. Among other things it will get you time which is in your distinct favor.

SURPRISE. The bad guys use it all the time in their assaults on unsuspecting women. Turn the tables on them and surprise them by using a disguised self defense weapon like a pepper spray or stun gun.

SURVIVE AND ESCAPE. Your first priority is to survive followed closely by escaping.

WEAPON OF AVAILABILITY. Use whatever you can get your hands on. A pen, keys, or anything nearby that is harder than your hand.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!! Find a friend and go thru scenarios that may occur. When they do happen you’ll be ready.

Carry some self defense products like stun guns and/or PEPPER SPRAYS. Their purpose is to allow you time to escape. They will give you from 5-45 minutes to escape to get help or just escape and survive.

Above all use your head a.k.a. common sense.

Self Defense-The Value Of Practice For An Assault Situation-Safety Tip Of The Week

Everyone who has an important task to do, practices for it. From sports teams to children playing the piano from emergency responders to our armed forces. Practice, as the expression goes, makes for perfect. It is no different when it comes to protecting yourself and your loved ones.

Sometimes the difference in time in how you react to an assault situation can make the difference between life and death or at least severe trauma. If you react quickly it may confuse the assailant because he is not expecting any resistance usually.

Sue is walking to her car in a dark part of the parking lot. She hears footsteps behind her and is fearful. She reaches in her purse and pulls out her Small Fry pink stun gun. She flips the safety switch and presses the on button as she is turning around. By the time she has turned around to face the person he is 10 feet away but he sees the flying sparks and hears the intimidating sounds a charging stun gun can make. She yells “Back Off.” Fortunately for Sue he did.

The whole episode took 2 seconds but her fast reaction saved her from an uncertain fate.

She practiced using her stun gun until it became second nature. She did the same with her pepper spray. Fast reaction times make the difference and that only comes with PRACTICE.

This is the best place to get your Self Defense Products.
