Is It Really Important To Learn Self Defence Technique?

By Mukhzani Mustaffa


Why should you learn self defence? It's easier to just buy a pepper spray, stun gun or even a gun. Well, it's totally true. Having any kind of weapon for self defence is a lot easier. If someone tries to rob you, just take out you pepper spray and spray at his face. He'll fall down on his knees and start crying like a baby.

Let me give you a scenario. For example, you just took out your money from the bank. While walking back to your car. Suddenly someone stopped you and tries to rob you. But your pepper spray is all the way in your bag. By the time you try to reach for it, the robber snatch your bag and ran away with all your hard earn money. It might be worse, you got into a struggle with your attacker and he manages to get your pepper spray instead. Now you are in an even worse situation.

Some of you might say, don't fight back as it is not worth it. Money can easily be replaced. Well, let's think about it. You just took out your money to pay for your husband's medical bill because your insurance doesn't cover it. Do you really just want to hand over your hard earn money to your attacker?

What if you just finished your work and on the way back to your car. Someone grabs you from behind. Instead of just robbing you, the attacker wants to rape you too. What if you got bullied, instead of just slightly hitting your head, your bully got carried away and starts punching you in the face. You can't just let him punches you. Dodge it and push him away.

Self defence is really important for all cases like these. You need to have the knowledge and reflex to respond in these situations. If you get jumped from behind you need to know how to free up yourself and just run away. You need to be able protect yourself and get away from trouble the best you can. Don't prolong the fight, respond and run away.

Most people don't want to learn any self defence technique because they think it will consume a lot of time. Well it's true. But only if you want to be Jackie Chan or some sort of mma fighter. The goal is, to have the reflex and technique to respond to your attacker and run away from danger as soon as possible. If someone grabs you from behind, you need to know how to break free and get away as soon as possible.

It does not require a lot of time to build up your confidence and reflex. The truth is, you just need to spend 10-15 minutes two to three times per week to build up your confidence and reflex. If you like to hit the gym, you just need to swap one of your cardio exercises by doing self defence workout.

Finally the goal is to protect yourself and your loved ones. If you simply do not have the time or unwilling to spend time to learn self defence technique, just get yourself any self defence product. Just make a habit of placing it at any easily reachable place. But if you have the time, learn some self defence technique just in case.
