Your desk could save your life. Learn simple ways to use chairs, tables, and counters to block danger and get out safely.
If you have been attacked and you managed to defend yourself, you already proved something important: you are stronger than you thought.
Most people have heard the term situational awareness at some point, especially in safety talks or self defence classes. The problem is that it sounds complicated. Here is a better way.
When it comes to self defence, many people assume that a firearm gives them an overwhelming advantage against an attacker armed with a knife. Films and television often reinforce this idea: if you have a gun and your attacker has a blade, you win. But reality is not that simple. In fact, research and training in law enforcement circles has shown that a knife wielding attacker can be just as dangerous, if not more so, within certain distances.
