Top 4 Reasons You Should Look Into Some Sort Of Self Defense Training

By Karen Collins


You find them offered in community centers and on college and university campuses of every major city in North America - self defense training courses and seminars. There are books on the subject, DVD courses available, and websites devoted to the topic. You've considered pursuing some sort of self defense training in the past but you never have. Here's why you should.

## No. 1 - Enjoy peace of mind.

Whether you are strolling the streets of your home town or travelling abroad, you should feel capable of handling yourself. Self defense training shouldn't make you careless but it should afford you some a little peace of mind. No one deserves to be afraid all the time.

## No. 2 - Feel as though you are capable of protecting the ones you love.

In many cases we are at out most anxious and apprehensive not when we're on our own but, rather, when we are out with a loved one, a sweetheart or child for instance. There can be a heavy sense of unspoken sense of responsibility that can be practically crippling at times if we do not necessarily feel that we're up to the task.

## No. 3 - Project a confident demeanor.

Sometimes potential aggressors, whether knowingly or not, will stay clear of targeting individuals who seem self assured. Most predators are, at their core, cowards who prey on those weaker than themselves. This isn't always the case, of course, but there is an undeniable correlation between projecting anxiety and being victimized.

## No. 4 - It might just save your life.

When it comes to self defense training, it is better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. It is possible you may never be called upon to put this form of training into practical use. If you are ever called upon to use it though it could well mean the difference between life or death.

If you want to learn self defense, and you are having a hard time finding workshops or seminars near you, simply go online and Google "self defense training". You may very well find local opportunities of which you were not previously aware. You will certainly find many websites that offer tutorials and fighting tips and some that even offer full fledged courses on the subject. Protect yourself. Invest in your own skin and move through life knowing that you are prepared. There is nothing wrong with hoping for the best, so long as you are willing to prepare for the worst.
