Violence is a problem that is present in virtually all parts of the world. For some people, it is a regular encounter. The perpetrator of a violent crime could be anyone; a stranger, a marriage partner, a close relative or even a colleague at school or at work. When considering self defense Sandy UT residents need to have a number of things in mind.

The best form of self defence is avoiding the confrontational situation if possible. If you are living with an abusive spouse, for instance, walking away would probably be the best way you can protect yourself from bodily or emotional harm. Walking alone in secluded places especially at odd hours can also be avoided.

Some people may, however, not have the option of walking away. Such people are forced to stay and fight. It is this group that needs to learn the skills of self defence the most. We will explore some of the skills that may come in handy whenever you are in imminent danger of being attacked.

One of the simplest things that you can do before throwing any punch is to mount a verbal resistance. Ask the attacker to back off from you in an assertive manner. Push them back if you have to. This will show than that you are not afraid and not an way target. This also acts as away of asking for help from bystanders or passers by and will, in some cases, dissuade the attacker.

Many attackers will approach their victim because they believe that they have an advantage. This may be because of their bigger body size or they may be wielding a weapon. Your only chance is to spring a surprise on them. You need to target a delicate area and to strike fast and hard before they get full control of you. The eyes should be your priority. Use a pepper spray if you have one or poke with your fingers.

Other areas that one may consider include the groin, the knees, and the nose. The site of body that you can attack is largely dependent on the position of the attack. Do not give them an advantage by moving closer to them. Instead of insuring on breaking their nose, kick them in the groin and get your chance to escape.

In the event that your attacker overpowers you, hold back a little and pretend to have given up fighting. This is especially effective in cases of sexual assault. It only when the attacker thinks that they are in full control that they are most vulnerable; they tend to lose their grip a this point. Strike just before they execute the sexual attack. The eyes and the groin are the most exposed areas and quite an easy target.

The world we live in today is filled with acts of violence. One can never know if they are the next victim of sexual assault or bodily harm. While it may not be possible in most cases to match the attacker blow for blow, there are skills that one can use to give them a chance of escaping and saving their life.
