Understanding Self Defense.

Self-defense is an important skill to have in today’s world. It is the ability to protect oneself from harm, whether it be physical or emotional. Understanding the different types of self-defense and the legal considerations that come with them is crucial for anyone looking to improve their personal safety.

First, let’s define self-defense. Self-defense is the act of protecting oneself or others from harm. This can include physical harm, such as being attacked by an aggressor, as well as emotional harm, such as verbal abuse or harassment. The goal of self-defense is to neutralize the threat and escape to safety.

There are several different types of self-defense, each with its own set of techniques and strategies. Some of the most popular types include:

  • Physical self-defense: This type of self-defense focuses on using physical techniques, such as strikes, kicks, and ground defense, to neutralize an attacker.
  • Verbal self-defense: This type of self-defense uses verbal communication to deescalate a situation and avoid physical confrontation.
  • Psychological self-defense: This type of self-defense focuses on using mental and emotional strategies, such as assertiveness and confidence, to protect oneself from harm.
  • Situational awareness: This type of self-defense is about being aware of one’s surroundings and recognizing potential threats, in order to avoid dangerous situations altogether.

When it comes to legal considerations, it is important to note that the laws regarding self-defense can vary from state to state. Generally, self-defense is considered justifiable when an individual reasonably believes that the use of force is necessary to protect themselves or others from imminent harm. However, it’s important to note that the use of excessive force or deadly force is not considered to be self-defense and could result in criminal charges. It’s always a good idea to consult with legal professionals or law enforcement for clarification on the laws in your state or country.

In conclusion, self-defense is an important skill that can help you protect yourself and others from harm. By understanding the different types of self-defense and the legal considerations that come with them, you can take steps to improve your personal safety and well-being. Remember, self-defense is not just about physical techniques, but also about mental and emotional preparation, and the ability to be aware of one’s surroundings and potential dangers. Remember that self-defense is a very important and often overlooked skill, but it’s not the only solution.

The Mind Game

The mind is arguably the most powerful tool that we have in
our arsenal. Forget about all of the training, the weapons;
forget about location and defensive postures. If the mind is not
focused and isn’t being used in the proper manner nearly every
time, it won’t matter what tools you have, or the skills you
possess, when you’re a Street Warrior. One of the greatest
coaches in football history, Vince Lombardi, believed that the
game wasn’t won on the field. He believed that the battle was
won before the players even stepped foot onto the field.


A fight can be lost before you even step into the ring, or in the
world of the street warrior, before you meet your opponent. If
you are not focused, if you don’t have some kind of plan, if you
don’t know what your limitations are, whether they have to do
with your skills, weapons, or the space around you, as well as
any obstacles or objects that could be used to your advantage,
then you are less likely to win. Sports teams, military personnel,
police officers, firefighters, and so many other individuals train
using real world scenarios so that they aren’t surprised when it
comes time to use all of that training. If you want the best
opportunities to win in a battle, then it’s important to begin to
think like a true street warrior; it’s time to begin to think like a
street warrior.

It’s time to prepare for the battle, even if you won’t be heading into one anytime soon.
