DEALING WITH WEAPONS IN SELF DEFENSE SITUATIONS

When a weapon such as a knife, needle or gun come into the picture panic and fear can come into the equation. Alot of people end up freezing in fear or feel there bladder loosen up,which is all normal responses that the body has in such a threatening self defense situation. A tip that helps prevent this kind of response from your body is to not focus directly on the weapon but instead to focus mainly on your attackers shoulder area which will move before any other body part moves giving you a heads up that your attacker is going to make his move. Also view his entire body at the same time as you do this, so you are looking at his shoulders but also you can see from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet.

This prevents you from becoming overwelmed when a weapon is placed into the picture because you are not having tunnel vision with the weapon in turn helping you lessen the stress of the situation and being able to deal with the task at hand not only physically but mentally as well. Also remember the importance of going into a controlled rage or killer mode this will help you be in the fight mindset not in the flight mindset preventing fear from taking over.

So where do you think is the safest rooms to be in when dealing with an attacker inside your home? Any ideas? The kitchen and bathroom why because they are loaded with a ton of weapons that you can destroy your attacker with. Here are some items that you can use and turn into weapons.

Bathroom: hairspray, perfume, cologne spray bottles by simply spraying them into your attackers eyes you temporally blind him giving you time to follow through with a technique or to run away.

Kitchen: coffee pots, fry pans, pots, dishes and glasses can be picked up and thrown or used as a club. You also have knives, forks and spoons which you can stab your attacker with.

By thinking outside the box anything can be turned into a weapon and get you out of harms way.

P.S. Don't forget about your safe room for if you can avoid an altercation all together the better.
