Like everything else in life common sense plays a huge role. But here are a few self defense tips that may help you prevent a rape, robbery or assault. Read on to learn more.

You probably are aware of this, but women are the preferred targets in assaults by a 9 to 1 margin over men. An assault happens every 29 seconds against women-twice a minute of every day. Women are the victims of an assault on college campuses which are especially dangerous with one out of four women sexually assaulted while on a college campus.

Like everything else in life common sense plays a huge role. But here are a few self defense tips that may help you prevent a rape, robbery or assault.

1. The first step is to be aware that you will be a target at some point in your life. I'm sorry but that is just a fact.

2. Second be aware of your surroundings at all times. I'm not suggesting that you become paranoid. But be suspicious of strangers.

3. Learn some basic self-defense techniques. There are plenty of self defense training DVDs available that will teach you the basics of how to defend yourself inside an hour. Isn't your safety worth an hour investment?

4. Invest in a self defense product. You can get pepper sprays as cheaply as $10.00, stun guns as cheaply as $40. Money should not be an issue for a product that can save your life.

5. Like everything practice makes perfect. Practice your self defense techniques and practice using your self defense product. The practice will pay off when, not if, you are attacked. You want to be able to react reflexively-a few seconds can save your life.

6. Women are blessed with amazing instincts. Learn how to recognize them and trust them.

These tips can help you prevent an assault on yourself or any woman you know. Used wisely they may save a life-maybe yours.

When are you getting one?

If you think crime can only happen to the other guy you are wrong. The "other guy" is thinking the same thing and to him you are that "other guy". There is a reason why they call it self defense. You have to protect yourself, your family, your home and business!!

Chances are if you are reading this that crime has touched your life in some way or you consider yourself at risk. Take the next step and do something to protect yourself! Your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of self defense course.

If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY. Stun guns are not legal in some states. Pepper sprays have restrictions in some jurisdictions. Check with your local police department first before you get one.
