Self Protection DVDs--Easy To Learn!

I believe it is important for everyone to know self-defense. You never know when you need it, especially with hoodlums on every corner. With the proper training, anyone could overpower even a number of assailants.

I work in Michigan waiting tables. I had purchased some self protection DVDs online hoping it could protect me from getting mugged, or worse. I thank my lucky stars everyday that I did because I was an almost-victim of sexual assault.

It was a rainy night and I was on my way home from work. I noticed two suspicious-looking men following me so I started to walk faster. They caught up with me and then cornered me into a dark alley, taunting me at knife point.

I wracked my brain trying to remember all the information on the self protection DVDs I watched. I never thought I had to apply the steps so early after acquiring them. All my preparation was put to good use.

I made use of krav maga and aikido moves and principles I saw on the self protection DVDs. I went for my attackers' weak points like the groin, neck and joints. Krav maga taught me to use my assailant as a shield if there was more than one of them.

I dislocated their elbows and pierced their legs with their own knives to disable them. I ran for help then and got lucky there were nearby traffic police, who caught and arrested them.

He was amazed at how I got away. I credit my escape to the self protection DVDs and the practice I had at home. It really leveled the field.

Even an ordinary citizen like me can go against dangerous hooligans and win. It also makes me happy to note that these videos always leave a friendly message to utilize our expertise with discretion.
