Self Defence
The Must Needed Skills of Self Defense

I believe every person on this planet needs to have a basic understanding of self defense whether they live in a large city, out in the country side, or jungle in another country. Self defense is something that anyone can learn. Young children all the way to senior citizens have educated themselves on this life saving education. I myself have been mastering self defense skills since I was about five years old. I have trained in karate, marine corps martial arts, line training, and weapons training. I am trying to master every self defense skill that I can, not so I can protect just myself and my family but I want to give this precious skill to as many people as I can. This skill is very simple and once your body has memorized the techniques it will become natural if any threatening event occurs.

Self defense skills range from finger, hand, elbow, head, knee, and foot strikes. This is only the hand-to-hand fighting techniques. There are weapon of opportunity techniques, edged weapon and firearm techniques. Hand-to-hand fighting is the basic training for anyone who is learning self defense. It is also the most important. Most people will not carry a pocket knife, a baton, or a concealed pistol on there person. People will not do this because they do not like to have such objects or where they live will not permit them carrying these items. This is why hand-to-hand techniques are the most important. Next is the weapon of opportunity techniques. These techniques teach individuals to use what they have around them as a weapon. Items ranging from a ink pen to a metal pole made for a small sign can be used as a weapon. Edged weapons and firearms are the most effective but not always the best weapons to use. These weapons should only be employed when it is absolutely necessary. If these weapons were taking from the intended user by the wrong person then the intended user just jeopardized what they have been trying to prevent.

    Teaching an officer when to use their gun, how far away would be considered appropriate to use their weapon, what type of weapon should they use with certain distances, etc. With this knowledge, we could help our officers better protect themselves from either far away distances or up front. If someone is coming at you from fifteen feet away with a knife, what can you do when they charge at you? There are many different ways an officer could approach this situation, but instinct tells us “grab your gun.” However, grabbing your gun is not always the best option, as grabbing it can lessen your time to react and actually prevent from being…

    For four years Hasselstrom gave speeches, readings, and workshops on self defense driving more than a hundred miles alone. She is a woman who is obsessed with self defense and she can be a little crazy sometimes. Everywhere she goes she carries her gun by her side, when she is sleeping a rifle is always by her bedside. She is a very skilled woman and loves to train herself to be better. She learned how to fire pistols and rifles but she uses her skills for self defense purposes only. She also learned the arts of Kung Fu to teach herself the safe distance to keep between her and a stranger and she can try to elude them with some Kung Fu tactics to get away. Knifes are a part of her arsenal too, Hasselstrom states “Knives are another useful tool often misunderstood and misused”. Hasselstrom would carry a pocket knife with her and she sees it as a useful tool to use and not for hanging up on a wall or for decorations. It’s another tool that she can…

    Arming teachers is a very tough topic to talk about. The first documentary that we watched showed a school that teaches students how to react in a shooting situation, and also arms teachers. I believe that this school is going a little overboard with arming the teachers. The program to train children in self defense is a good idea though. I'm not saying that we should constantly live in fear of a school shooting, but defense training would be a good workshop to do with students. They brought up a very good point in this documentary when they mentioned physical education classes, and the lack of benefits from. I believe that a self defense class would be very useful to ready students for their future. This could help them not only defend themselves…

    In our violent world today, the ability to protect ourselves is an important factor in our lives. Police cannot be everywhere at once and that is the reason almost all state legislatures have incorporated some kind of self-defense statute for their state. The ability to use deadly force for self-defense has saved many innocent lives over the past couple of years, but it has also taken several. This is the reason why there has been such a great controversy about the normal untrained public, which is our society, being able to make calls about using deadly force. Self- defense laws have changed over the years, but none of them have gotten as much attention as the "Stand Your Ground Statute." This law is a very controversial issue because it takes away the, "Duty to Retreat" prior to the use of deadly force for self-defense. This has raised concerns for the public who are not in favor of using deadly force in the first place. While many opponents want to abolish the "Stand Your Ground Statute", I believe that it is an essential law that should be kept in our society in order to protect the innocent people who have no other option than to exterminate the threat he/she, or the family have faced.…

    If people help the youth from escaping violent encounters by talking to others, there may be no need for an attack on gun violence (“Six Proven 13). If the police and principals show how to negotiate, they will have a higher chance of escaping a situation and not using a gun instead (“Six Proven 13”). Most youth who commits a crime are drop-outs. A way to stop this is to raise the age for a youth to drop. This will stop the amount of juveniles in America (“Six Proven 10”). Increasing school time is also a way to stop early juveniles. They can get all the information they need in a school day before they drop out (“Six Proven 12”). By doing this in the school systems, the youth can get all the education they need to provide themselves the right…

    Studies show that people who resist a crime committed against them with a gun are less likely to get hurt (Kleck 3). Gun control has been shown to do only one thing, and that is to take the gun out of the hand of a potential victim. Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz wrote, “if self protection with a gun is commonplace, it means any type of gun control that disarms large numbers of prospective victims … will carry significant social cost in term of lost opportunities for self protection” (Kleck 2). Kleck and Gertz also found that in 1982, when interviewing incarcerated felons, 34% had been scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim (Kleck 19). If that many felons are being affected by people using a gun to defend themselves, not only are people successfully defending themselves, the people not reporting this information are basically helping the criminals by letting people think owning a gun and knowing how to use it does not help a victim. The reason people do not know this is because the government does not find it significant enough to report. The reason it is hard to prove that self protection using a gun works is because nobody reports the incident. The criminal, if not caught, does not report it. Also, victims do not report that they used a gun for fear that the police will harass them for using a gun. The government will not put the use of guns for self protection into its statistical model; because it is unwilling to admit that guns are useful for self defense. Guns are useful in preventing crime and they should be allowed on college…

    It is horrific how many gruesome attacks are taking place around the country. Most attacks involve mentally ill people shooting innocent people going about their everyday life. Think back to the heartbreaking day as Sandy Hook Elementary was fired upon. The security guards, principles, and most importantly the teachers were all defenseless. Many children lost their lives that day due to a person that was well armed and with protectors unequipped. People should be allowed to openly carry guns in Texas because of the danger that could possibly take place at anytime; they would have protection for themselves and others.…
