In keeping safe at home and on the go, there are more ways than one to go about it. Of course, as much as I recommend using any tool that is legally at your disposal, I believe that there is always a need for self defense training.

I like to keep up on stories around the country in which self defense training (often misspelled self defence training) could have come in handy. I will never say what a victim should have done; I just find it necessary to look for glaring reasons why it is helpful to learn self defense; or at least some martial arts moves!

There are many aspects to self defense that we don’t automatically think about. Many people question which of the martial arts styles serves best for self defense. People question whether ANY martial arts styles makes up the ideal form of self defense.

Anyone who reads my blog knows pretty well the benefits of learning self defense techniques. You can learn some moves from martial arts DVD programs; you can learn from effective self defense techniques from my combatives course.

School is a part of life that everyone must go through. Sadly, school bullying is a part of most school in every country. Bullies exist outside of the schools, on the streets; hence the need for self defense – so why would it be a surprise that these behaviors start as early as grade school?
