Hey sisters! Especially those of you living alone! Please read this post carefully! This is not an exaggeration, but self-defense tips that I have personally experienced and feel it is necessary to share with everyone! Learning these can really save your life at critical moments!
First, let me tell you why I take self-defense so seriously
I used to think my living place was quite safe. There was a gate in the community, and there were surveillance cameras in the hallway. I felt there was nothing to worry about. Until one time, I came home from overtime at night and met a strange man in the elevator. He kept staring at me and asked me which floor I lived on. I was so scared at the time that I randomly said a floor number. After getting out of the elevator, I ran all the way home, my heart almost jumped out!
Since then, I have started to pay special attention to self-defense. I started to check information online, learn various self-defense techniques, and bought some self-defense supplies. I think you can never be too careful about safety!
💪🏻For self-defense, we can’t just rely on luck!
Many people think that bad things will not happen to them. But sisters, we cannot pin our safety on luck! Actively mastering self-defense knowledge and skills can give us the greatest chance of survival when danger comes!
Now, I will share my self-defense experience with you without reservation!
1. ⚠️Awareness first! Stay alert at all times!
- Don’t keep your head down and play with your phone while walking or taking a bus! This will make you relax your vigilance and lose your sense of the surrounding environment.
- Observe the surrounding environment at any time! Pay attention to any suspicious people or vehicles following you.
- Try not to walk in secluded alleys or places without street lights at night!
- For girls living alone, try to choose “contactless delivery” for express delivery and takeout! Or ask the delivery person to leave the things at the door, and open the door to take them after you confirm that it is safe.
- If someone rings the doorbell or knocks on the door, be sure to confirm the identity of the other party through the peephole first! Don’t open the door casually!
- In the elevator, try to stand near the button! In this way, once you encounter danger, you can press all the floor buttons as soon as possible to try to escape.
- If you find someone following you, go to a crowded place immediately! And shout for help to attract the attention of people around you.
2. 🥋Master a few simple and practical self-defense techniques!
Many girls feel that they are not strong enough, and it is useless to learn self-defense techniques. In fact, the key to self-defense is not strength, but skill! Mastering some key attack parts and escape skills can protect yourself at critical moments!
- Attack vital parts! The eyes, nose, throat, and crotch of a person are very vulnerable parts. Even if you are not strong enough, attacking these parts can cause great damage.
- Use the hard parts of your body! For example, elbows, knees, and head, these parts are more powerful than fists.
- Learn to use items around you! Bags, keys, umbrellas, high heels, and even a bottle of water can be your self-defense weapons.
I recommend a few simple and easy-to-learn self-defense moves for everyone:
- Eye poke: If the other party gets close to you, directly use your fingers to poke the other party’s eyes!
- Kick the crotch: If the other party grabs you, lift your leg and kick the other party’s crotch!
- Elbow strike: If the other party hugs you from behind, forcefully hit the other party’s head or ribs with your elbow!
- Step on the foot: If the other party gets close to you, step on the other party’s instep forcefully!
These moves don’t require much strength, but they are very effective! Sisters can practice several times in front of the mirror at home to form muscle memory.
3. 🎒Prepare some practical self-defense supplies!
In addition to mastering self-defense skills, preparing some self-defense supplies can also give us a sense of security.
- Pepper spray: This is a self-defense product that I highly recommend! It is small and easy to carry, and very powerful! Spraying it into the other party’s eyes can instantly make him lose his ability to attack.
- Alarm: When encountering danger, pull the alarm, it can emit a high-decibel alarm sound, scare away the gangster, and attract the attention of people around you.
- Strong light flashlight: A strong light flashlight can not only illuminate, but also be used to illuminate the other party’s eyes and interfere with the other party’s vision.
- Tactical pen: The tactical pen looks like an ordinary pen, but the tip is very hard and can be used to hit the other party’s vital parts.
4. 🏠Home self-defense, these details cannot be ignored!
In addition to paying attention to safety when going out, home self-defense is also very important!
- Install anti-theft doors and windows: This is the most basic safety measure.
- Install a surveillance camera at the door: It can deter criminals and leave evidence in case of an accident.
- Develop the habit of closing and locking the door at any time: Don’t give bad guys a chance.
- Girls living alone can hang a few pieces of men’s clothing on the balcony: Create the illusion that there is a man in the house.
📢Finally, I want to say to all sisters:
You can never be too careful about self-defense! We must always be vigilant, master self-defense skills, and protect ourselves!
I hope this post will be helpful to everyone! If you have any other good self-defense suggestions, please share them in the comments!
Let us become stronger and safer together! 💪🏻
