Health, The Right Self Defense

When considering certain types of self defense products and situations I always get asked the same question over and over again. Since I own a web page that sells self defense products I am obviously going to mention what I know. There are several products however that we don't even sell that I would recommend in certain situations. For instance, if you find yourself in the mist of danger and need a quick self defense product, pepper spray is the way to go. Also depending on the situation you can use a stun gun or stun baton. The best though, in my opinion, is a martial art. I studied Hapkiyudo at a local martial arts academy and it proved even more beneficial than I had ever imagined. They way they teach you to use your body and the techniques you use to take down an opponent are extraordinary. Hapkiyudo is a self made martial art that consists of both Judo and Hapkido. Put them together and BAM!, you have Hapkiyudo. Using both the leverage of Judo and the Grappling techniques of Hapkido I was able to protect myself during several situations I otherwise would have lost. Ironically enough I don't go out looking for a fight but it just so happened that I needed every skill I was taught just weeks after my training. It was almost like someone was giving me a test. Either way, I do love my self defense products but having a general idea of how your body works and the many ways you can take down an attacker is priceless. The one thing however that needs to be remembered is that if you plan on ever taking any type of self defense class make sure your in it for the long haul. You are not just going to join a class and learn everything in a few short weeks. That was the exact reason I always asked myself why it took so long to receive a black belt in most martial arts. It was actually the little things in class that were a lot tougher than I thought. The little things, like how to properly fall and how to stand when being approached by an attacker. Who would have thought that you needed to fall a certain way when knocked on the ground? Either way you look at it, when choosing your self defense remember to always be aware, and be prepared. Even if you carry a little pepper spray make sure you know how to use it. Preparation is the key in any situation.
