Self-defense and personal protection is something everyone needs to have. Much has been written on the subject and many products have been created. Martial arts training has been and continues to be a useful endeavor. However, the best self-defense one can employ is simple and will not take years to master or large sums of money to implement. This article will explain the simple way to protect yourself and your loved ones
So what is the best martial arts self-defense tactic and why is it so simple? It is the best and it is simple because each one of us posses it. It is given to us at birth and refined as we age. Most, if not all, animals posses it as well, although at a lower level than humans. It is, in a word, "instinct" or possibly more commonly known as "common sense". Awareness and avoidance of possible danger is the theme
You have seen it in the movies and on TV. The "martial arts expert" or "hero" drives, walks or is placed in a "bad" area and is surrounded by the "bad guys". This is true in real life as well. There are bad areas in every city and town on earth. Avoiding these areas is "common sense". We all know what they look like. Dark streets, alleys, graffiti, empty buildings, broken windows, etc
Awareness of your surroundings in your daily life is just as important. Without being paranoid, know where you are and who is around you at all times. Limit cell phone usage as you travel. Talking on the phone is extremely distracting. You may have just passed the thug that was waiting for someone talking on a cell phone
It goes without saying that bars and nightclubs are more dangerous than most people believe. Look at the latest news regarding high profile professional athletes. Alleged shootings, fights and alleged rapes. More often than not these are not reported on in the local paper if an average citizen is involved
