Importance of Self Defense Techniques
Self defense techniques , sprays, tasers and other items come to mind when mentioning self defense but the truth is that real self defense has little to do with these items or techniques. They are only the last resort when everything else has failed. The Institute of Security and Tactical Applications teaches people a set of conditions that have proven to be very effective in reducing crime. The first step a person must take is Awareness.
Awareness is a very important if not the most important part of complete self defense. An unaware person is more likely to be victim of a crime than an aware citizen. Awareness starts with recognition. You must recognize that you and everyone else on this planet are 24 hours a day a possible target for crime in one form or another. Crime does not only presents itself in the form of robbery or armed assault or rape. Crime has as many faces as there are people and only if you recognized for yourself that you are a possible victim you can take the first step to defending yourself in an effective way.
