The 5 Rules of Street Self Defense Explained!

I want to prepare with you an arsenal of information that will explain a lot of street self defense topics covering combat, to verbal self defense and avoiding fighting situations all together.

Rule #1 - Always be alert and prepared at any time for a combat situation. This includes: being aware of your surroundings, wearing shoes you could fight in, not having your MP3 player blasting in your ears, staying alert and avoiding dangerous places and people.

Rule #2 - Another rule for being prepared for street self defense is active weight lifting and cardio training. You want to be in good enough physical condition that you could fight off a bad guy that is much larger then you. If you are out of shape how do you expect to survive an attack that lasts longer then 30 seconds?

Rule #3 - Carry a weapon at all times. Nearly 80% of attackers in street self defense situations carry a weapon intending to injure their victim. So why not be prepared ahead of time? Carrying pepper spray is a much less lethal weapon then a knife or tazer, so carry a weapon, just be sure it is legal in your area.

Rule #4 - Martial arts and street self defense training are essential for winning and managing to survive an assault or attack. You need to train in self defense and martial arts regularly to become more of an aggressive and smarter fighter. Being properly trained is essential to winning a battle on the streets.

Rule #5 - If you can cover all your bases in self defense like carrying a weapon, being aware and avoiding confrontations and problems you will be better prepared then most people. Continue training in martial arts and get the most from your training and knowledge of self defense.
