Top 4 Reasons People Should Consider Self Defense Training

By Rene Anderson


You find them available in community centers and on campuses of major cities across North America - self defense training courses and seminars. There are books on the subject, DVD courses available, and websites specialized in the topic. You've considered pursuing some kind of self defense training a few times over the past few years but you never have. This is why you should.

## No. 1 - Enjoy peace of mind.

Whether you are strolling the streets of your home town or travelling abroad, you should feel capable of handling yourself. Self defense training shouldn't make you careless but it should afford you some a little peace of mind. No one deserves to be afraid all the time.

## No. 2 - Feel as though you are able to protect the ones you love.

Often times we are most anxious and apprehensive not when we are alone but, rather, when we are out with someone we love, a girlfriend or child for instance. There can be an unspoken sense of responsibility that can be almost crippling at times if we do not necessarily feel as though we are up to the task.

## No. 3 - Project confidence.

Sometimes potential aggressors, whether consciously or subconsciously, will avoid targetting individuals who seem confident and self assured. Predators are, at their core, cowards who prey on those who are weaker than themselves. This is not always the case, of course, but there is an undeniable correlation between projecting anxiety and being victimized.

## No. 4 - It might just save your life.

In terms of self defense training, it is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. It is possible you may never be required to put this form of training to practical use. If you are ever called upon to use it however it could make the difference between life or death.

If you want to learn self defense, and you are having a hard time finding workshops or seminars near you, simply go online and Google "self defense training". You may very well find local opportunities of which you were not previously aware. You will certainly find many websites that offer tutorials and fighting tips and some that even offer full fledged courses on the subject. Protect yourself. Invest in your own skin and move through life knowing that you are prepared. There is nothing wrong with hoping for the best, so long as you are willing to prepare for the worst.
