Look in the dictionary and you would see that intuition is described as “the power of attaining direct knowledge without evident rational thought.” It can be seen as having a “hunch”, or a “feeling.” Intuition, in my opinion, is directly linked to instincts.

There isn’t anyone who won’t benefit greatly from learning self defense, or learning martial arts techniques for fighting, or developing a home safety plan. In this post, I am going to give you a short and sweet list of tips to increase and maintain safety at home.
