I have been giving seminars and courses on self-defense for more than 30 years. During that time, I've taught thousands of people how to keep themselves safe and healthy.
Awareness is ALWAYS the first step in making yourself safer.
Since most men can be attacked almost anywhere and for many different reasons, I have some tips for you.
Here is a list of ten easy things you can do right away to make yourself safer:
1: Most men get into physical trouble because they say something rude, hurtful, insensitive, stupid, or insensitive. If you watch what you say, you can keep your mouth in good shape. Think before you say something.
2: If a fight breaks out in a bar, you should leave right away. Go before everyone gets drunk and starts throwing chairs, bottles, glasses, and punches at each other. Most of the time, a "free for all" starts with just two people. A lot of times, innocent bystanders get hurt. Those who let fools fight among themselves do not.
3 - You should NEVER try to settle a fight between a man and a woman. Both of them will stop fighting or arguing with each other and instead turn on you, their common foe. Call the police if you are worried about the woman's safety.
4 - Know that many people today have a mix of drugs and alcohol running through their veins. It makes them aggressive, argumentative, and "like Mike Tyson." Stay away from people who are "off the grid." Even a quick look at them can make them angry. Just let them deal with their own problems.
5 - Don't make the fatal mistake of thinking that ANYONE fights "fairly" anymore. Those times are over, and have been since the time of John Wayne. Expect more than one attacker, or maybe both.
6 - Heroes are buried in every graveyard. Don't make them more. Run if you can. It's not a bad thing to stay out of a fight. In fact, it's smart to run away.
7 - Look around every room of your house for things that could be used as weapons. Home invasions are getting worse because our governments don't do enough to protect their people.
8 - THIS IS MORE OF A LETTER OF CAUTION: Know that if you let a woman, especially one who is "under-age," put you in a "compromising" situation, the woman's version of what happened will usually be believed over the man's. Don't let yourself get into these kinds of situations.
9 Negotiation is a much higher form of art than getting into a fight. Do anything you can to stay out of a fight. When people fight, nothing good ever comes out of it. This is shown by war.
10: When everything else fails and you have no other choice, remember that "it is better to be tried by twelve than carried by six."
Remember what I said at the beginning: "Increasing personal safety ALWAYS starts with awareness." If you pay attention to your manners and know where you are, you will definitely make yourself safer.
