Every girl should be equipped with basic self-defence techniques
It has become imperative for girls to learn self-defence. Nowadays, schools are incorporating self-defence classes in their curriculum. Young women are also joining self-defence classes. Many sensitizing drives are being organized by the police and various NGOs to girls aware of the merits of learning self-defence techniques.
Self-defence technique not only teach you to fight but also how to prevent a confrontation with an assailant in the first place. When you are under attack or feel threatened, it gives you an adrenaline rush. For an experienced martial artist, the fight stances can come naturally to them but it isn’t the same for an amateur.
Self-defence training institutes teach few basic moves and make their student practice it multiple times until it gets incorporated in your muscle memory, and the moves flow voluntarily. Krav Maga or ‘unarmed combat’ is a tactical self-defence technique, and it is highly pragmatic and effectual. It was initially developed for the Israeli army, and it concentrates on a person’s natural instinct and is extremely easy to learn.
Krav Maga teaches you avoidance and awareness as the main mantra. The timeline for Krav Maga is: avoid, prevent, deescalate, defend and fight only when necessary, and then escape.
Self-defence strategies to remember:
Don’t make yourself an easy target
Be confident in your appearance, posture, and language
Be deceptive, but always be prepared
Maintain a safe distance between yourself and the perpetrator if possible
Respond immediately after being attacked
Keep the technique simple
Concentrate on the attacker’s vulnerable points-groin, eyes, nose, the air between the adam’s apple and neck.
Don’t panic if you are on the ground, you can attack in that position too.
Always carry your car key or pen, sticking out of your hand, to defend yourself.
