SELF DEFENSE TIP WHEN PINNING SOMEONE FACE DOWN
So lets say you are in a situation where you have dropped a guy face down onto the ground and are waiting for police to show up to take this piece of scum off the streets. How do you restrain and pin him down till police arrive without expelling alot of energy? Well this self defense tactic I am about to show you will do the trick, it's called the X legged restraint.
Have the person cross his legs into an X and bring them up to his butt. All you have to do is grab hold of one of his feet with one of your hands to have complete control of both of his legs due to having his legs crossed it automatically ties up both of them. Now with your other leg place it on the back of his neck and onto his chin with all your weight as he will be laying on the ground with his face to the side. This will keep him still due to all your weight being on his neck and chin which in turn controls his head. Like the saying goes control the head and the rest of the body follows. From there he's all yours!

SELF DEFENSE QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Your mental energy is limited by your physical energy. How do you develop more energy of all kinds? You start by putting your body in top physical condition. Unless you do that, all your other activities won't help much--you'll be stuck with the mental and emotional energy that you have now." -- Tom Hopkins

HOW SHEATHS & POUCHES EFFECT YOUR SELF DEFENSE SUCCESS
I believe that you can always use a little extra help when it comes to your self defense and that's why I get my students to carry self defense products on them. But just because you are carring something like a stun gun, pepper spray or a baton doesn't mean your safe and can use it. Why? Because you may not to be able to get to it on time. Here's why first don't store them in zipped up purses or pockets.
Second if they are in a sheath or pouche make sure thay are slightly loose so you can draw or take it out easily and quickly. I have students come in and I will tell them that I will attack from 10 feet away all they have to do is draw/take out there baton/pepper spray from the sheath or pouch. Nine times out of ten they can't take it out on time due to the sheath or pouche being tight around there self defense weapon. So make sure you loosen up your sheath or pouche before placing your self defense weapon inside.

WHAT DO WHEEL BARROWS & SELF DEFENSE HAVE IN COMMON?
Here is a strength training exercise you can do with a wheel barrow to help condition and give you usable workable muscles for combat self defense situations.
Wheel Barrows: Load a wheel barrow with heavy weights and push them up hill. Up hill being the key because flat surfaces don't provide much of a challenge. You will also find that up hill on grass surfaces provide more friction thus challenging you even more. Make sure you have a heavy duty wheel barrow that can hold alot of weight. Use a wheel barrow that has one wheel in front which makes the balancing and holding of the wheel barrow more difficult and more effective!
By performing exercise routines such as these you condition your muscles to have endurance and strength which is what you need in a combat situation. Remember just because a guy has huge muscles doesn't mean a thing. They are only good for show and short periods of time, he will fatigue quickly in a self defense situation.

SELF DEFENSE IN A SUBMERGED CAR
Countless accidents happen during the summer season due to many people taking roads trips. If you are one of these people and you find yourself in an accident and find that your car has been thrown into a river here are some self defense tips that you can remember when dealing with a submerged car. First take a deep breathe and take your seatbelt off. Second unlock your door. Third roll the window down and get yourself out. If you have power windows leave the keys in the ignition because the battery will still work even if it is under water. This will help you lower your power windows so you can get out of your car. Some of this tips may sound very simple but remember when adrenaline is kicking in full speed into your body the simpliest of tasks can be difficult to remember.

THE BEST SELF DEFENSE WEAPONS
I get alot of emails from readers asking me "What self defense product makes the best weapon to protect yourself with?" So I would like to address that today. First I think a gun is the best weapon out there. It covers distance and is a very intimadating weapon to have. My next self defense weapon of choice would either be the stun gun or the baton due to once again being able to maintain a safe distance between you and your attacker. "Sprays" such as mace or pepper spray the user as to worry about wind direction and such when using his products which is the last thing on your mind when dealing with an attacker coming at you.
Remember to also have your self defense product in an easy to reach place and not in a zipped up pockeet or purse, cause regardles of your weapon of choice it will be impossible to get to when you need it most. So if you are looking for such items such as

SELF DEFENSE FROM KNIVES AND NEEDLES
If you ever have heard of the K.I.S.S slogan (keep it simple stupid) then this self defense tactic fits in perfectly with that saying, for you do not need any type of training when it comes to these self defense tactic. A simple way to protect yourself in the winter season from knife and needle attacks is to simply buy a pair of kevlor gloves. I have used these working in night clubs and by simply wearing these any idiot pulling a blade on you gets a total surprise when you simply grab the knife from his hand without cutting yourself due to the kevlour material. A pair of these gloves which look like regular leather gloves will run you around $70 and is worth the investment when it comes to your safety and security.
