Women's self defense helps you to bring in that self esteem or bring it back into your life. The lack of self esteem and the fear of new things because of your anxiety due to safety can lead you to live a sheltered life that can hinder you from living life to the fullest. Now are not you ready to take a women's self defense course? Women's self defense instructors will teach that when you jab a person in the stomach slightly below the chest bone, the attacker will back away quickly or try to turn his or her body away to get away from the pain. When you apply pressure next to the collar bone it will cause the attacker to move downward away from the pain. The lack of knowledge about women's self defense has proved lethal in the many cases of abuse. Domestic abuse issues plague all walks of life. No matter if you live in an urban or rural area or if you are rich or poor, domestic abuse is apart of live and without the knowledge of women's self defense; you are seeding the problem that you or your children will be harmed or killed. Women are being assaulted both in rural and urban areas so much women's self defense is becoming an interest to both law enforcement officials and women's advocate groups. Women need to know how to defend themselves and how to protect themselves from diverse situations that could cause harm or even death. You need to know how to take care of yourself and your children in case a person of low reputation choose to accost you for reasons of harassment, theft, rape, or to inflict bodily harm. The lack of preparation can set you up with serious consequences such as loss of personal property, unwanted sexual proposals and action, injury or death. The interloper will do anything to keep his crime a secret and will wait until you are out of eye sight or out of ear shot of the general public before he will perpetrate his crime. If you make noise to attract the attention of other people, most attackers will resist the urge to continue the assault once started.
