Don't be a victim - By George Mimmis

 

To assume women are  easy prey would consequently assert that men are stronger and always the attackers. In the long run it isn’t small versus big, but planning versus surprise. Women are victims since they’re taken by surprise from the attacker and in a vital moment, they don’t know what to do.

What do Self-Defense Tactics do for You? If someone grabbed you from behind, do you know what to do? If you were trapped against a wall, how do you escape? If you don't know the answers to those questions, you’re in danger of becoming a statistic of a violent physical and/or sexual assault. Although you can not change the old stereotype, you may change your mentality. A rapist will still stalk you but you don't need to be his next victim. 

Fear can be your worst threat in the minutes before an assault. Those few seconds of confusion and consciousness since you suddenly understand what’s happening to you can cause you to become petrified. You might feel that the worst is unavoidable. This is a natural reaction. The objective isn’t to rid yourself of this fear but to get beyond it. That feeling will come in and go out as fast because you know you’ve been trained to overcome a situation.
