This list of headlines could go on and on. Perhaps you understand already the point I am going to make by collecting these and posting them for you to peruse. But I will reiterate anyway. I have learned over the years that sometimes you have to be a broken record for people to really take their personal safety seriously.
If you don’t want to be a headline someday, you’ve got to do something about your personal safety. That could be learning martial arts moves to protect yourself; or carrying pepper spray in your purse or pocket. The headline above from Buffalo New York; with the three girls who were exposed to the sicko showing off his jewels; that happened at 6:30 at night. These girls and their parents likely all felt perfectly safe with their surroundings because it is still light out at 6:30pm. However, had these girls needed to protect themselves and not at least known some martial arts moves or self defense, could they have done it? Luckily they didn’t have to.
Anyway, it is stories like these that turn me into a broken record. I take personal safety very seriously; and I want to help you realize just how important it is to take it seriously for yourself and your family. All it took was one time of me not being able to adequately defend myself and my family for me to commit that it would never happen to me again; nor to anyone else I could help.
There are so many martial arts styles that you could learn; but not all of them are great for self defense. If you really want to learn martial arts moves instead of or along with self defense then just look into martial arts styles that really teach you how to fight. This is especially important if you are not incorporating hand to hand combat techniques into your training. Martial arts styles like Tai Chi are not going to help you defend yourself and keep you out of the headlines in your town. However, something like Jiu-Jitsu will. All in all, do something to create more personal safety around you. Watch my combat self defense DVD to learn effective escapes and counters; engage in a class close to you where you can practice sparring with another person. Just do something and you will be better off.
