Jo Miller, an editor for the website Jen Reviews, asked us to share a wonderful article about the 21 most effective self defense techniques people should learn, and we loved the article and the illustrative videos showing the techniques and we wanted to share it with our readers.
We agree with Jen’s Reviews that the ability to protect yourself from an attacker is a vital life skill. However, most people don’t even think about what they would do when attacked until after an attack has taken place and then they realize they need to learn how to protect themselves.
Jen Reviews has done a wonderful job finding very effective self defense techniques that, when mastered, will help people prepare for the dangers of an aggressive confrontation. These techniques will improve people’s chances of getting out of a bad situation.
We all know that self defense is a skill you’d much rather have and not need, than need and not have. It takes practice using these techniques so they become second nature and you have the confidence that if an aggressor attacks or threatens you, you will not freeze up, but instead, well respond appropriately and survive. We recommend training these techniques, and those that should follow, with a good martial arts/self defense instructor because perfect practice makes perfect.
