Women's Self Defense Tips.

To defend or not
The question is, do you or do you not defend yourself? There is no time to stop and contemplate, and even a moment's hesitation may see you overpowered.
The main thing is the intensity of your defense, which must instantly become an attack. Make a lot of noise, scream and yell. Don't just flail your arms widely in circular motions, use straight line thrusts to the eyes, throat and face.
Easy defense weapons
Key or keys, pen, lipstick tube, mobile phone, compact umbrella, hard glasses case, eye brow, or eye liner pencil, nail clippers,. These articles are not legally perceived as a weapon, as would be scissors' or a pocket knife. And of course you can travel by air with most regular items.
It is important to practice your response moves. It is best to use a partner who is taller and heavier than you. They may need to wear protective eye wear. Because you will be reluctant to use force on your friend, it is useful to practice forcefully responding against a cushion against a wall.
Practice your shin kicks and foot stomps again on a solid spongy item on the floor or leaning against the wall. You can buy high density foam and wrap it around a solid item.
Effective hand defences
Do not punch with your fists. You could break bones in your hand or wrist, even worse you may hit your attacker's teeth and end up with a nasty infection in the joints.
Women tend to have longer nails which prevent you forming a proper fist. You would hurt your hand or break nails. The palm of your hand is very strong. The best target is the nose.
Your fingers can rake the face or attack the groin, but the better attack is to gouge the eyes. If your attacker is temporally blinded he can't continue to attack you. Eye gouging while distasteful is highly effective.
Awareness the key
Women call it their intuition; men are a little less elegant and have a "gut feeling". The reality is that we get these signals all the time; it's just a question of listening and trusting this feeling.
Does this place feel safe? Do I feel OK with these people? Should I drive or walk this way home?
If you listen, you will feel an answer. It may be subtle, such as a feeling of slight discomfort, or as obvious as a chill, or the hairs standing up on your arm.
