<p>If you&rsquo;re a parent you already know that the world can be a dangerous place for children.&nbsp; Like most parents you probably breathe a sigh of relief every single time they come back through the door and are home safe.&nbsp; But when it comes to<a href="http://www.defencewomen.com"> self defense</a> for kids it&rsquo;s important that you teach kids how to deal with realistic situations without making them scared or afraid of everyone.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Preparation and preparedness are the keys to teaching kids self defense.&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t pretend that your kids could never be assaulted or kidnapped because realistically they could. But if your kids know how to defend themselves and know how to keep their presence of mind they could successful get away from an attacker.</p>
<p> Some schools teach self defense to kids as a regular part of the curriculum. Does the school you send your kids to offer self defense? You should find out. Self defense training for kids is created to empower kids and teach them how to take control of the situation if they are being attacked.&nbsp; You can help empower them further by drilling them in common self defense moves and testing them on the lessons that are taught in kids self defense classes.</p>
<p> Some of the most popular kids self defense classes and videos are the radKIDS self defense classes and Kids Fighting Chance videos.&nbsp; radKIDS has been features on several major TV news programs and has more than 20 documented cases where the lessons and techniques that were taught in the radKIDS classes helped children escape from an abductor or attacked.</p>
<p> <img src="http://defencewomen.com/wp-content/neg_images/ddf28d4b0c45195edeabe46a67b60040.jpg" alt="SELF DEFENSE CLASSES FOR KIDS" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>One of the reasons that the radKIDS classes are so effective is that radKIDS focuses on teaching kids to stay safe and how to size up a situation. radKIDS teaches kids to be proactive and stay in control of the situation they are in.&nbsp; In addition to the physical classes where kids learn self defense techniques that can help them escape from attackers that might be much larger than they are radKIDS also has activities that parents and kids can do together that will help children learn to stay safe and also has games, quizzes, puzzles and fun activities for kids that help them learn.</p>
<p> Most communities offer radKIDS classes or classes like it either for free or on a sliding scale so that every child can afford to attend.&nbsp; If you haven&rsquo;t given your children any self defense training or if you are having a hard time figuring out how to teach them self defense without making them afraid of the world around them you should check to see where the nearest children&rsquo;s self defense class is and make plans to attend.&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- WSA: ad in context adsense not shown: too many ads --></p>
<p>A large number of self defense classes feature some padded attacker work but only classes that focus on &ldquo;real impact&rdquo; self defense training are built around students interacting with a <a href="http://www.defencewomen.com">padded attacker</a>.&nbsp; In a &ldquo;real impact&rdquo; style class you will learn a technique, learn the theory behind that technique, practice the technique on each other and then practice it full force against a padded attacker. This sequence is repeated for anywhere from six to thirty hours.&nbsp; Intense self defense training classes can last up to six weeks and prepare students for real life situations that you might encounter during your normal life.</p>
<p> Padded attacker classes can be very traumatic in the beginning but by the end most students find that class has boosted their confidence and helped them to feel comfortable fighting back against an attacker. Just like with anything else the more you practice something the more comfortable you&rsquo;ll feel doing it.</p>
<p> &nbsp;Practicing a groin strike or an eye jab on a mannequin doesn&rsquo;t come close to simulating what it&rsquo;s like to really hurt another person and to really intend to hurt them.&nbsp; Many women at first find it hard to use their full fighting strength against the attacker, which is why getting padded attacker self defense training is so important.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Padded attacker self defense classes also teach you how to use your adrenaline to your advantage and how to fight your way through that first adrenaline surge. Before your body goes into a &ldquo;fight or flight&rdquo; state you will experience a few moments when your body just doesn&rsquo;t seem to work right and you have little muscle control or coordination. That is when the adrenaline is starting to flow and you need to know how to get through that and come out of that state fighting</p>
<p> <img src="http://defencewomen.com/wp-content/neg_images/4e28fccea40e46b1922930d298a35bd7.jpg" alt="PADDED ATTACKER CLASSES" width="300" height="302" />&nbsp;</p>
<p> You&rsquo;ll probably be a little bit surprised at how fierce you can be when you need to be. Many women are shocked at the strength they use to fight back against an attacker even in a simulated attack.&nbsp; The confidence of knowing that you can save your own life will stay with you and that kind of confidence might someday keep you from being attacked.</p>
<p> During an attack most women freeze at the second they are grabbed or whenever there is physical contact with the attacker. Having a padded attacker simulate an attack and grab you can help you break through that block so that if a real attacker were ever to do it your first instinct would be to fight back instead of to freeze or panic.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Being able to think quickly and instantly fight as hard as you could someday save your life.&nbsp; The only way to really prepare for that is to take at least one padded attacker self defense class.</p>

<p> A key element of the classes is padded instructors who &quot;attack&quot; the participants so they can practice their newly learned self-defense skills. Classes for seniors are tailored to the abilities of people  who may not be strong or mobile. &#8230;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="font-size: 9px; font-family: arial; color: #108eed" href="http://elderabuseadvocate.blogspot.com/2007/12/definition-and-types-of-elder-abuse.html" target="blank">Read more&#8230;</a></p>

<p>There are different types of self defense classes that you can take to learn techniques that might save your life in an attack situation. Some self defense classes are based in martial arts traditions and teach a lot of martial arts moves while some classes are pure self defense and combine the grabs, punches and other moves from a wide variety of martial arts and fighting disciplines so that students learn the best moves that could keep them alive.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.defencewomen.com" title="Self defence classes">Self defense classes</a> teach more than just moves you can use to escape an attacker. Self defense classes also teach you how to hone your senses so that you are more aware of your surroundings.</p>
<p> Most importantly, self defense classes can teach you how to react to an attack without panicking and without freezing.&nbsp; When you are in an attack situation it&rsquo;s very important that you are able to react without freezing up or panicking and the only way to really train yourself to not freeze up is practice.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Self defense classes are a safe place for you to practice how you should act if you are ever attacked.</p>
<p> Another benefit of self defense classes is that you can learn how to get hurt and keep going.&nbsp; For most women the shock of being grabbed or being hit during an attack is enough to knock them off balance and make them stop fighting.</p>
<p> In self defense classes you can learn how to take a hit and not get thrown off by it.</p>
<p> <img src="http://defencewomen.com/wp-content/neg_images/454e09c6f262f638d19b5815b2612e67.JPG" alt="SELF DEFENSE CLASSES" width="720" height="486" /><br /> &nbsp;<br /> No one wants to be in a situation where they are going to get hurt but if you are being attacked being able to get hit or injured and keep fighting just might keep you alive.</p>
<p> There are different styles of self defense classes.&nbsp; Classes that are purely martial arts based usually focus on learning kicks and punches and blocks.</p>
<p> Classes that focus more on teaching basic survival skills sometimes have an &ldquo;attacker&rdquo; that is used to put students through the experience of a real attack where they need to fight back.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Many women find this experience very traumatic.&nbsp; Often it takes women two or three times before they can find the strength to fight back.</p>
<p> Padded attacker classes are usually considered the best way to prepare for being attacked because you will be able to fight back full force, just as if you were actually being attacked, without having to worry about hurting the person who is playing the attacker.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Some people disagree though and think that padded attacker classes are not a good way to learn self-defense because the attack situation isn&rsquo;t realistic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hopefully if you are attacked the assault will never get this far.&nbsp; Hopefully one of the other strategies will work and you manage to get away from your attacker before this point. However if the worst should happen and you do end up in the middle of an attack you need to know how to go into survival mode.&nbsp;</p>
<p> When you&rsquo;re in <a href="http://www.defencewomen.com" title="survival mode">survival mode</a> your adrenaline will be pumping like crazy because you will be in the middle of being attacked.&nbsp; Because of the adrenaline you will probably not be feeling any pain, which is good, but you might start to go numb or lose consciousness.&nbsp;</p>
<p> In survival mode you need to focus on staying alive, and on remembering as much about your attacker as you can.</p>
<p> In order to get through an attack you need to have decided already what is worth fighting for and what&rsquo;s not.&nbsp; If you are in a situation where you cannot get out of being attacked switching to survival mode is the best way to focus on staying alive.</p>
<p> If you have fought to the best of your ability and you are still about to get raped your survival instinct may tell you to submit to the rape to lessen the physical damage.</p>
<p> If that&rsquo;s what your instinct says do it and then focus your mind on remembering details about the attacker.</p>
<p> What does the attacker look like? Is there a smell like cologne or cigarettes or alcohol?</p>
<p> What color is the attacker&rsquo;s shirt?</p>
<p> Are there any scars or tattoos on the attacker?</p>
<p>&nbsp; <img src="http://defencewomen.com/wp-content/neg_images/fe213c34c1b499934c7d07f5668df924.jpg" alt="self defence for women" width="434" height="326" /></p>
<p> All of those things will help the police catch him later so any details you can remember will be important. It&rsquo;s difficult to give a description of someone under normal circumstances so you should practice your descriptive skills to learn how to remember important details.</p>
<p> When you&rsquo;re in survival mode you also may fight so fiercely that you cause serious injury to your attacker.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Think of the rage that a mother lion has if someone disturbs her cubs, that&rsquo;s how you will fight when your life is threatened.</p>
<p> In order to use all that adrenaline fed rage effectively you will have to know how to strike your attacker in a precise and focused way.</p>
<p> Since it&rsquo;s not easy to remain focused when your body is flooded with adrenaline the more you focus on learning deadly strikes and self defense moves the more you will be able to focus that primal rage when you are in the survival part of an attack.</p>
<p> When it seems like the attack is ending that is the time to fight for your life, literally, because the attacker may be getting ready to kill you so that you can&rsquo;t identify him.</p>

<p>If your diffusing techniques aren&rsquo;t working and you have to physically fight for your safety you need to know how to do that too. You don&rsquo;t need to know a lot of complicated martial arts moves you really just need to know basic and effective self defense moves that will give you a chance to get away from an attacker. &nbsp;</p>
<p> You might think that you don&rsquo;t need any <a href="http://www.defencewomen.com" title="self defence">self defense</a> training to accomplish that but it&rsquo;s harder then you might think to fight back against an attacker. Women are conditioned to not fight back, not get upset, and not hurt others. &nbsp; </p>

<p> You should really take some self defense classes where you will get to defend yourself against a real attacker so that you know what it feels like. &nbsp;</p>
<p> Defending yourself in a gym full of other women against a padded attacker is different than defending yourself against a predator with a weapon that might hurt or kill you but the important thing is that you learn to react without fear.</p>
<p> Fear is your enemy in an attack situation because fear can make you freeze up and if hesitate for even a moment you might not get out of the attack. </p>

<p>&nbsp;This strategy works for both interactions with strangers and situations where you in danger of being attacked by someone that you know.&nbsp; If you learn how to diffuse a <a href="http://www.defencewomen.com" title="tense situation">tense situation</a> by using words, body language, how to set boundaries, and how to practice evasive measures you can sometimes literally talk your way out of being attacked. &nbsp;</p>
<p> The most important thing when you&rsquo;re learning different methods of diffusing situations is to take charge of the situation.&nbsp; This is what does a lot of women in, not being able to take control over the situation. If you&rsquo;re in a meeting and a client gets too close, or if you&rsquo;re at a friend&rsquo;s house for a party and an acquaintance won&rsquo;t take no for an answer, or if you&rsquo;re walking on the street and a predator approaches you knowing exactly how to take charge of the situation without being confrontational and setting boundaries gently but firmly can help you avoid being attacked.</p>

<p> The techniques used to diffuse a situation are really effective when you&rsquo;re dealing with a spouse or an acquaintance that is threatening you or has hurt you in the past.&nbsp; Diffusing that person&rsquo;s anger or rage can give you a chance to safely get out of the house or call the police before you get hurt.&nbsp; If you think that someone close to you could attack then these techniques can be very useful. This is especially important if the person has a problem with drugs or alcohol. When that person is drunk or high he or she is not in his or her right mind and is all the more dangerous.</p>

Practice relaxation, as appearing fearful or stressed can actually provoke an attack. &#8230;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="font-size: 9px; font-family: arial; color: #108eed" href="http://psychjourney_blogs.typepad.com/effective_self_defense_fo/2009/01/self-defense-and-self-defense-products-how-do-you-decide.html" target="blank">Read more&#8230;</a></p>

<p> If you intend to take a    self-defense or martial arts course, none of what you read should be interpreted as an admonition to abandon that supplementary education. &#8230;.

<p>&nbsp;Learning how to protect yourself from an assault involves more than just learning a few techniques to get away from an attacker.&nbsp; There are four main areas that you need to work on if you&rsquo;re going to be truly able to defend yourself in any situation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Using these strategies to learn how to <a href="http://www.defencewomen.com" title="protect yourself">protect yourself</a> could mean the difference between surviving an attack and not surviving an attack.</p>
<p> 1. Know how predators lure you in.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Most predators count on the fact that women are usually helpful and polite to strangers.&nbsp; Some predators will try to put you at ease by starting an interaction with you that doesn&rsquo;t seem threatening or scary.&nbsp; A stranger on the street might ask you for directions, or ask you for help with a bag or parcel.</p>
<p>Serial rapist and killer Ted Bundy used a fake arm cast so that he would initially seem injured and non threatening to the women he killed. A predator that you already know or have in your home might offer to get you a drink and then put something in it to make you woozy or knock you out.&nbsp; Predators will look for ways to put you at ease and make you vulnerable.</p>
<p>Predators often will try to test you early on in the interaction to size you up.&nbsp; They might make a lewd comment or hit on you to see if you will stop them.&nbsp; They might get physically close to you to see how you will to react. Be very wary when strangers talk to you and make sure your body language is strong and confident. They also might try to intimidate you using classic psychological intimidation techniques.&nbsp; If you can spot this behavior then you can stand up to it and let that predator know that you&rsquo;re not intimidated.<br /> &nbsp;</p>
<p>Predators will try to see right away if you going to be easy to control or if you are going to put up a fight. If you send out signals that you&rsquo;re going to fight and carry on the predator might leave you alone for a target that will be easier to control. You need to learn how to carry yourself and what to say to let that predator know that you&rsquo;re not going to be a victim and that if challenged you will fight and be a lot of trouble.</p>
<p>Learning about the ways that predators operate and the tricks and cons they use will help you be more aware and more on guard in everyday situations so that you are not as likely to get tricked.&nbsp; Learning how to not put yourself in a vulnerable situation can keep you safe. Simply being aware of what the predator is doing and using body language to show confidence can be enough to keep you from being attacked</p>

<p>There are a lot of great reasons that you should learn self defense.&nbsp; These facts should convince you to take the plunge and commit to some practical self-defense training.</p>
<p>1. Violence is real &ndash; It&rsquo;s easy to dismiss the stories of <a href="http://www.defencewomen.com" title="attacks">attacks </a>against women and say that it would never happen to you but it can happen to you. Every day women get attacked who used to say it would never happen to them.&nbsp; All women are vulnerable and all women are at risk.&nbsp; Ignoring the possibility that you could be assaulted won&rsquo;t change the fact that you could be.</p>
<p>2. If you don&rsquo;t know how to defend yourself you have no options in an attack &ndash; If you are attacked knowing how to fight back or having a self defense weapon could save your life, but if you don&rsquo;t know how to get away or you don&rsquo;t have a weapon you could be badly hurt or killed. Do you really want to take that risk?</p>
<p>3. Anyone can be attacked &ndash; You might think that because you live in a certain neighborhood, dress a certain way, make a certain amount of money, or have a certain kind of job that you&rsquo;re not at risk of being attacked.&nbsp; But your lifestyle, income, and social status won&rsquo;t protect you. Any woman could be attacked.</p>
<p>4. Self defense can save your life &ndash; Even knowing just a few basic self defense moves can be enough to scare off an attacker or get away from an attacker in time to save your life.&nbsp; You have the power to protect your own life during an attack if you have the knowledge and confidence to fight back.</p>
<p>5. Women are raised to be passive &ndash; One of the biggest factors that make women targets for assaults is that women are raised to be docile and passive. Women are taught to not speak up, to not assert themselves.&nbsp; How many times have you known a woman who was having trouble with something but couldn&rsquo;t speak up about it? How many times have you done that?&nbsp; Women are taught to be quiet and subservient and to not complain.&nbsp; Predators take advantage of that.</p>
<p>When women are attacked by people they already know it is often because the men who attack them know that women are not going to make a fuss and not going to make a scene.&nbsp; Most rapes go unreported because women can&rsquo;t bear to tell their stories. Most domestic assaults go uncharged because women are raised to think they should put up with spouses that hit them.</p>
<p>Women need to learn to break through that passivity and make a scene when necessary. Could you yell and scream and try to get someone&rsquo;s attention if you were being attacked? You need to be able to do that and learning self-defense can help women learn to be more confident and less passive.</p>
<p>6. Your children learn from you &ndash; If you want your children to grow up feeling confident and knowing how to defend themselves you need to know how to defend yourself.&nbsp; Teaching your kids to be aware of their surroundings and drilling them in self defense techniques will make sure that they won&rsquo;t panic in a crisis situation and forget everything they know about self defense. You can&rsquo;t teach them self defense if you don&rsquo;t know it.</p>
<p>7. Predators are prepared and you need to be too.&nbsp; If you are assaulted chances are good that the person attacking you has previously attacked others. Predators usually have a plan, and they don&rsquo;t count on you fighting back.&nbsp; They count on the element of surprise to make the attack successful. Take away that element of surprise by being prepared and you can sometimes prevent the attack.</p>
<p> 8. You can&rsquo;t count on divine intervention.&nbsp; You have to help yourself. Have you ever heard the expression, &ldquo;Pray to catch the bus, and then run as fast as you can&rdquo;? Well that applies to being assaulted too.&nbsp; Pray that you make it out alive, and then fight as hard as you can and you might make it out alive.</p>
<p>9. You can&rsquo;t rely on anyone else to save you.&nbsp; If you are attacked hopefully you can get someone else&rsquo;s attention and hopefully some one else will step in and help you or call police to help you. But you can&rsquo;t count on anyone else coming to your rescue.&nbsp; If you are assaulted you are all that you have, so you need to know how to save yourself.</p>
<p>10. You could die.&nbsp; Just think about that for a moment. You could die.&nbsp; Your life could end as a result of an attack.&nbsp; Isn&rsquo;t that reason enough to learn how to protect yourself? If you are attacked and you don&rsquo;t know any techniques to defend yourself statistically your chances of survival aren&rsquo;t great.&nbsp; Knowing how to defend yourself and knowing how to survive an attack can be the only things that keep you alive through a serious attack.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Learning self-defense is more than just taking a class or reading a book. You need to know how to not panic during an attack and how to read a situation and an attacker instantly.&nbsp; You need to be able to know how to disarm an attacker and how to use a weapon yourself.&nbsp; If your attacker has a gun and you manage to get it away from him but you don&rsquo;t know how to fire a gun having that gun isn&rsquo;t going to do you much good.&nbsp; Only continued self-defense training can give you the ability to respond with a clear head in an attack situation.</p>
<p>You can never know if you will be targeted by a criminal at some point. All you can do is know how to defend yourself if you are.&nbsp; And if you know how to defend yourself then you have a much greater chance of fighting off that attack or surviving that attack. When you&rsquo;re assaulted even if you are injured if you survive that attack then you win and the attacker loses.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
