Step 1
Self-defense - actions taken to protect oneself, loved ones or property in relation to the aggressor. It is wrong to understand self-defense only as strikes, painful holds or shots from weapons. You can get out of many dangerous situations through negotiations, persuasion, finally, just run away.
Step 2
Nevertheless, if you are determined not to retreat and not give up, the study of self-defense at home should start with an assessment of your own physical condition, in accordance with which you need to choose the path along which you will develop. For tough young people, studying boxing or kickboxing (the disciplines closest to a street fight) is suitable, and fragile girls are better off doing aikido, or learning how to defend themselves using self-defense weapons.
Step 3
There are many self-defense video courses, and choosing the right one can be difficult. Immediately filter out those that offer guaranteed results in the shortest possible time. Miracles do not happen, and any professional knows that it takes months of training to stage the simplest strikes. At the same time, you should not choose especially exotic and complex martial arts designed for a very high level of physical fitness. So, for example, in one of the wushu schools, a beginner is invited to perform a backflip in the third lesson. In most dangerous situations, such abilities will not be useful to you. Choose a middle ground, for example, the same box.
Step 4
In addition to training in the self-defense program, do regular physical training exercises. Running, push-ups, pull-ups, dumbbell or barbell work are as necessary as knowledge of fighting techniques. In the end, even if you don't have any special skills in martial arts, you will be less attractive to potential aggressors with a sporty look.
