USEFUL LINKS - Self-Defense

Self-defense or self defence refers to actions taken by a person to prevent another person from causing harm to one's self, one's property or one's home.

Unarmed - Many styles of martial arts, usually Asian styles, such as Ju Jitsu, Karate, Taekwondo or Wushu are practiced for self-defense. Some styles train almost exclusively for self-defense (Wing Chun, Krav Maga), hereby putting emphasis on the bodies' weakest pressure-points. Others still, are practiced for other reasons and not intended for self-defense at all (eg Tai-Chi, Tae Bo). However, some martial arts that are practiced primarily for sport, such as boxing or judo can be effectively applied for self-defense.

 
Personal alarms are a way to practice passive self-defense. A personal alarm is a small, hand-held device that emits strong, loud, high pitched sounds to deter attackers because the noise will draw the attention of passersby. Different models are available, including key chain alarms and child safety alarms designed to help parents keep kids safe. Child alarms often function as locators or device alarms such as triggering an alert when a swimming pool is in use to help prevent dangerous situations in addition to being a deterrant against would-be aggressors.

Women's Self-Defense Institute launches its new product line -- EasySafety4U.com -- Empowering Women to Fight Back Against Crime

Women's Self-Defense Institute, a national leader in educating and training women about their self defense and personal security options, has launched its new product website -- EasySafety4U.com which provides non-lethal self defense and personal safety products.

Edison, NJ (PRWEB) February 10, 2008 -- Women's Self-Defense Institute, a national leader in educating and training women about their self defense and personal security options, has launched its new product website -- EasySafety4U.com which provides non-lethal self defense and personal safety products.

Angie M. Tarighi, the Founder & CEO of Women's Self-Defense Institute, describes their business objective as simply providing realistic, effective self-defense training for today's busy female. Ms. Tarighi states, "You can't really teach effective self-defense for women unless you've actually experienced violent crime and understand what will and what won't work against a 250 lb mook bent on dominating and humiliating you as a woman. There are too many 'self-defense gurus' out there who have never been a victim of crime. They only understand theory, not the true application of it on the streets. And they teach from a male martial arts perspective that just will not work for the majority of women because it relies on strength."

Women's Self-Defense Institute believes that self defense is so much more than just physical techniques. They believe in empowering women thru education to combat crime. The education consists of awareness training, prevention opportunities, understanding criminal dynamics, risk reduction assessments, risk avoidance awareness and lastly, the self-realization of a woman's own personal power.

In response to their students' request, Women's Self-Defense Institute launched EasySafety4u.com to provide non-lethal self defense and personal safety products with other 400 unique and hard to find items. EasySafety4U.com has something for everyone from pepper sprays, tasers, stun guns, mace, videos, home protection, personal alarms, child safety, voice changers, safety lights, diversion safes, etc and an interactive blog full of self defense and safety tips.

In today's increasingly violent climate, every citizen is responsible for ensuring their own personal and family's safety and security. Statistics continually reinforce that a woman who fights back during a life-threatening situation substantially increases her chances of avoiding rape, serious injury or death.

Women's Self-Defense Institute encourages you to visit their websites for updated safety tips, community & national resources and training options. As a thank you for joining their mailing list at EasySafety4U.com, they will send you a free copy of "Practical Self Defense & Safety Tips for Today's Busy Female."

Angie M. Tarighi has been teaching women's self-defense for over 22 years. She holds two black belts in Kempo & Combat Hapkido; is a certified Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Instructor; is a certified International Police Defensive Tactics Instructor; is a Certified Kid-Safe Network Agent; is a Certified Women-Safe Network Agent; and a Reiki Master.
