Self Defense and Attitude
By Liza Cooper | October 20, 2009
Self Defense for both women and men is more than carrying pepper spray in your hand. And sometimes easier, too. Having the right attitude can go far to ensure your safety on the street and prevent yourself from becoming a crime victim.
Do not act like an easy target. Walk with confidence and purpose. If an attacker sees you walking like you have no particular place to go, they are more likely to tag you as easy prey.
If a stranger approaches you, maintain eye contact with them as you keep on walking. Most fights are won before they start. Many aggressors will back down if you convey the message that they do not intimidate you.
Many crimes are prevented by such simple techniques that do not require physical strength or years of study of self defense.
